Nightschool AI: Build your first Hermes Agent
Hermes Agent is Nous Research's open-source AI agent. This kit sets it up on a small, locked-down Ubuntu cloud server you control, connected to an AI model, with a private Slack app (Socket Mode) so you message it from your phone or laptop and it runs 24/7, kept alive by a background service that survives reboots.

- A systemd service that keeps the agent running after you log out and brings it back after a reboot, plus scheduled posts to a separate updates channel
- Three starter files (SOUL.md, USER.md and MEMORY.md) that shape who the agent is, who you are, and what it's working on

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The kit is written for the never-coded-before experience level too: it walks through every terminal and server command, start to finish.
Is this just a terminal chatbot, or an official Nous Research product?
Neither. Hermes Agent runs as a 24/7 service on a small cloud server you control, with a private Slack app so you message it from your phone or laptop; it isn't something you only talk to in a terminal. Nightschool AI is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nous Research; Hermes Agent is named here only to describe the open-source tool this kit teaches you to install.
What do I get when I buy it?
Immediate access in your account to the full guide as an HTML page and a 29-page PDF, plus a zip of the kit's template files (SOUL.md, memories/USER.md, memories/MEMORY.md, and more), for a one-time US$49.
