- Lead with the learning loop: autonomous skill creation, skill
  self-improvement, memory nudges, FTS5 session search, Honcho
  dialectic user modeling
- 'Runs anywhere' angle: 6 backends, serverless persistence with
  Daytona/Modal, not tied to your laptop
- 'Built by model trainers' replaces 'model-agnostic'
- Updated README tagline, feature table, subtitle
- Updated docs landing page hero, description, key features
- Updated docusaurus tagline and pyproject.toml description

-An open-source AI agent that grows with you — learns your projects, builds its own skills, and reaches you wherever you are.
+The self-improving AI agent built by [Nous Research](https://nousresearch.com). The only agent with a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions.

 ## What is Hermes Agent?
 
-It's not a coding copilot tethered to an IDE or a chatbot wrapper around a single API. It's an **autonomous agent** that lives on your server, remembers what it learns, and gets more capable the longer it runs.
+It's not a coding copilot tethered to an IDE or a chatbot wrapper around a single API. It's an **autonomous agent** that gets more capable the longer it runs. It lives wherever you put it — a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure (Daytona, Modal) that costs nearly nothing when idle. Talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM you never SSH into yourself. It's not tied to your laptop.

 ## Key Features
 
+- **A closed learning loop** — Agent-curated memory with periodic nudges, autonomous skill creation, skill self-improvement during use, FTS5 cross-session recall with LLM summarization, and [Honcho](https://github.com/plastic-labs/honcho) dialectic user modeling
+- **Runs anywhere, not just your laptop** — 6 terminal backends: local, Docker, SSH, Daytona, Singularity, Modal. Daytona and Modal offer serverless persistence — your environment hibernates when idle, costing nearly nothing
 - **Lives where you do** — CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, all from one gateway
-- **Grows the longer it runs** — Persistent memory and self-created skills
+- **Built by model trainers** — Created by [Nous Research](https://nousresearch.com), the lab behind Hermes, Nomos, and Psyche. Works with [Nous Portal](https://portal.nousresearch.com), [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai), OpenAI, or any endpoint
 - **Scheduled automations** — Built-in cron with delivery to any platform
-- **Delegates & parallelizes** — Spawn isolated subagents for parallel workstreams
-- **Real sandboxing** — 6 terminal backends: local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal, Daytona
+- **Delegates & parallelizes** — Spawn isolated subagents for parallel workstreams. Programmatic Tool Calling via `execute_code` collapses multi-step pipelines into single inference calls
+- **Open standard skills** — Compatible with [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io). Skills are portable, shareable, and community-contributed via the Skills Hub
 - **Full web control** — Search, extract, browse, vision, image generation, TTS
 - **MCP support** — Connect to any MCP server for extended tool capabilities
-- **Research-ready** — Batch processing, trajectory export, RL training integration
+- **Research-ready** — Batch processing, trajectory export, RL training with Atropos. Built by [Nous Research](https://nousresearch.com) — the lab behind Hermes, Nomos, and Psyche models
