Installed @NousResearch Hermes on dedicated machine at last. So far, I鈥檓 very impressed with how well packaged it is. It feels like a real product vs. a DIY kit (OpenClaw), which comes with pros and cons, but solid execution all around.

@davidmarcus @NousResearch hermes getting that "it just works" energy is real. the tradeoff is you're trading configurability for polish and most people making that trade don't realize it until they need to go off the beaten path
