Adds Google Chat as a new gateway platform, shipped under plugins/platforms/google_chat/ following the canonical bundled-plugin pattern (Teams, IRC). Rewired from the original PR #18425 to use the new env_enablement_fn + cron_deliver_env_var plugin interfaces landed in the preceding commit, so the adapter touches ZERO core files. What it does: - Inbound DM + group messages via Cloud Pub/Sub pull subscription (no public URL needed), with attachments (PDFs, images, audio, video) downloaded through an SSRF-guarded Google-host allowlist. - Outbound text replies with the 'Hermes is thinking…' patch-in-place pattern — no tombstones. - Native file attachment delivery via per-user OAuth. Google Chat's media.upload endpoint rejects service-account auth, so each user runs /setup-files once in their own DM to grant chat.messages.create for themselves; the adapter then uploads as them. Tokens stored per email at ~/.hermes/google_chat_user_tokens/<email>.json. - Thread isolation: side-threads get isolated sessions, top-level DM messages share one continuous session. Persistent thread-count store survives gateway restart. - Supervisor reconnect with exponential backoff. - Multi-user out of the box. How it plugs in (no core edits): - env_enablement_fn seeds PlatformConfig.extra with project_id, subscription_name, service_account_json, and the home_channel dict (which the core hook turns into a HomeChannel dataclass). Reads GOOGLE_CHAT_PROJECT_ID (falls back to GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT), GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME (falls back to GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION), GOOGLE_CHAT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON (falls back to GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS), GOOGLE_CHAT_HOME_CHANNEL. - cron_deliver_env_var='GOOGLE_CHAT_HOME_CHANNEL' gets cron delivery for free — cron/scheduler.py consults the platform registry for any name not in its hardcoded built-in sets. - plugin.yaml's rich requires_env / optional_env blocks auto-populate OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS via the new hermes_cli/config.py injector, so 'hermes config' UI surfaces them with description / url / prompt / password metadata. - Module-level Platform('google_chat') call in adapter.py triggers the Platform._missing_() registration so Platform.GOOGLE_CHAT attribute access works without an enum entry. Distribution: ships inside the existing hermes-agent package. Users opt in via 'pip install hermes-agent[google_chat]' and follow the 8-step GCP walkthrough at website/docs/user-guide/messaging/google_chat.md. Test coverage: 153 tests in tests/gateway/test_google_chat.py, all passing. Spans platform registration, env config loading, Pub/Sub envelope routing, outbound send + chunking + typing patch-in-place, attachment send paths, SSRF guard, thread/session model, supervisor reconnect, authorization, per-user OAuth, and the new plugin-registry cron delivery wiring. Credit: adapter + OAuth + tests + docs authored by @donramon77 (PR #18425). Rewire onto the new plugin hooks + salvage commit by Teknium.

Hermes Agent ☤
The self-improving AI agent built by Nous Research. It's the only agent with a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, searches its own past conversations, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure that costs nearly nothing when idle. It's not tied to your laptop — talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM.
Use any model you want — Nous Portal, OpenRouter (200+ models), NVIDIA NIM (Nemotron), Xiaomi MiMo, z.ai/GLM, Kimi/Moonshot, MiniMax, Hugging Face, OpenAI, or your own endpoint. Switch with hermes model — no code changes, no lock-in.
| A real terminal interface | Full TUI with multiline editing, slash-command autocomplete, conversation history, interrupt-and-redirect, and streaming tool output. |
| Lives where you do | Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and CLI — all from a single gateway process. Voice memo transcription, cross-platform conversation continuity. |
| A closed learning loop | Agent-curated memory with periodic nudges. Autonomous skill creation after complex tasks. Skills self-improve during use. FTS5 session search with LLM summarization for cross-session recall. Honcho dialectic user modeling. Compatible with the agentskills.io open standard. |
| Scheduled automations | Built-in cron scheduler with delivery to any platform. Daily reports, nightly backups, weekly audits — all in natural language, running unattended. |
| Delegates and parallelizes | Spawn isolated subagents for parallel workstreams. Write Python scripts that call tools via RPC, collapsing multi-step pipelines into zero-context-cost turns. |
| Runs anywhere, not just your laptop | Seven terminal backends — local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal, Daytona, and Vercel Sandbox. Daytona and Modal offer serverless persistence — your agent's environment hibernates when idle and wakes on demand, costing nearly nothing between sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS or a GPU cluster. |
| Research-ready | Batch trajectory generation, Atropos RL environments, trajectory compression for training the next generation of tool-calling models. |
Quick Install
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
Works on Linux, macOS, WSL2, and Android via Termux. The installer handles the platform-specific setup for you.
Android / Termux: The tested manual path is documented in the Termux guide. On Termux, Hermes installs a curated
.[termux]extra because the full.[all]extra currently pulls Android-incompatible voice dependencies.Windows: Native Windows is not supported. Please install WSL2 and run the command above.
After installation:
source ~/.bashrc # reload shell (or: source ~/.zshrc)
hermes # start chatting!
Getting Started
hermes # Interactive CLI — start a conversation
hermes model # Choose your LLM provider and model
hermes tools # Configure which tools are enabled
hermes config set # Set individual config values
hermes gateway # Start the messaging gateway (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
hermes setup # Run the full setup wizard (configures everything at once)
hermes claw migrate # Migrate from OpenClaw (if coming from OpenClaw)
hermes update # Update to the latest version
hermes doctor # Diagnose any issues
CLI vs Messaging Quick Reference
Hermes has two entry points: start the terminal UI with hermes, or run the gateway and talk to it from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or Email. Once you're in a conversation, many slash commands are shared across both interfaces.
| Action | CLI | Messaging platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Start chatting | hermes |
Run hermes gateway setup + hermes gateway start, then send the bot a message |
| Start fresh conversation | /new or /reset |
/new or /reset |
| Change model | /model [provider:model] |
/model [provider:model] |
| Set a personality | /personality [name] |
/personality [name] |
| Retry or undo the last turn | /retry, /undo |
/retry, /undo |
| Compress context / check usage | /compress, /usage, /insights [--days N] |
/compress, /usage, /insights [days] |
| Browse skills | /skills or /<skill-name> |
/<skill-name> |
| Interrupt current work | Ctrl+C or send a new message |
/stop or send a new message |
| Platform-specific status | /platforms |
/status, /sethome |
For the full command lists, see the CLI guide and the Messaging Gateway guide.

Migrating from OpenClaw
If you're coming from OpenClaw, Hermes can automatically import your settings, memories, skills, and API keys.
During first-time setup: The setup wizard (hermes setup) automatically detects ~/.openclaw and offers to migrate before configuration begins.
Anytime after install:
hermes claw migrate # Interactive migration (full preset)
hermes claw migrate --dry-run # Preview what would be migrated
hermes claw migrate --preset user-data # Migrate without secrets
hermes claw migrate --overwrite # Overwrite existing conflicts
What gets imported:
- SOUL.md — persona file
- Memories — MEMORY.md and USER.md entries
- Skills — user-created skills →
~/.hermes/skills/openclaw-imports/ - Command allowlist — approval patterns
- Messaging settings — platform configs, allowed users, working directory
- API keys — allowlisted secrets (Telegram, OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, ElevenLabs)
- TTS assets — workspace audio files
- Workspace instructions — AGENTS.md (with
--workspace-target)
See hermes claw migrate --help for all options, or use the openclaw-migration skill for an interactive agent-guided migration with dry-run previews.
Contributing
We welcome contributions! See the Contributing Guide for development setup, code style, and PR process.
Quick start for contributors — clone and go with setup-hermes.sh:
