Install Hermes, choose a model, launch useful workflows, and understand how its memory and skills improve over time.
Set up Hermes Agent and turn it into one useful, bounded workflow with a result you can verify. The course starts with the local CLI, then shows how the same agent can work through Telegram or deliver a scheduled briefing.
You will also learn what makes Hermes different from a model alone: tools, permissions, sessions, memory, skills, gateways, and scheduling. The goal is not to configure everything at once. It is to choose one job, give it a clear boundary, test the result, and expand only after the basic workflow is reliable.
Learn what Hermes is, who benefits from it, and where it fits beside coding assistants and task runners.
Install Hermes safely and choose a model that can handle agentic work reliably.
Start with one useful workflow on a laptop, a VPS, or the built-in scheduler.
Understand how background review, bounded memory, and reusable skills make Hermes improve across sessions.
Choose a next path and resolve the practical questions that appear after the first successful workflow.
Find concise answers to 30 everyday questions about setup, models, memory, messaging, costs, code, and skills.
This course will not turn Hermes into an unsupervised digital employee, make an unsuitable model reliable, or remove the need to review permissions and results. Hermes does not retrain its underlying model from your sessions.
You will learn enough to install the harness, prove one useful workflow, understand how memory and skills preserve selected knowledge, and decide whether messaging, scheduling, or deeper tooling is worth adding next. The complete RianVibe course is free; model providers, local hardware, a VPS, and third-party services may have their own costs or quotas.
