Nous Research ships Hermes Agent v0.22.0 with free first-run setup, app connectors and one-click local models
Hermes Agent v0.22.0 opens a fresh desktop install on a guided setup chat that runs on a free trial model, so you can start without an API key. It adds hosted app connectors (sign in once to apps like Linear and Notion), one-click local models via a managed llama.cpp runtime, a reviewed plugin catalog, and signed desktop packages for Windows and Apple Silicon Macs.
How you’d use it: Try an open-source agent on your desktop without an API key, then connect your apps or switch to a local model.
