The agentic rag, wrung out.
The rag for
Hermes Agent v0.21.5 stable packaging + Fast Search becoming free/default
The v0.21.5 tag turns a massive internal development window (Desktop SDK, connectors, performance, new models, plugins) into something operators can safely deploy, while Perplexity Fast Search removes a major practical bottleneck for agentic web work. Together they represent the highest-impact, most broadly useful progress for serious Hermes users this cycle. Goal Mode and the Browser Extension are strong runners-up that extend the same trajectory of making Hermes more capable and less manual.
Nous Research announced that web search in Hermes Agent is now fast and free. Perplexity built Fast Search specifically for agents (p50 latency 160 ms, p95 230 ms). It is the default for all Nous Portal subscribers across tiers—no separate API key or extra bill required.
Free open-source Chromium extension that turns Hermes into a side-panel copilot. Reads the active tab, injects page context into a live Hermes session (local gateway, Cloud, or self-hosted), and supports full tools/skills/memory. Can also interact with the page.
Upcoming Goal Mode turns delegated child agents into persistent workers. A separate judge evaluates progress; the same child continues with full context until the goal is met or budget is exhausted. Moves beyond one-shot delegated prompts.
Practical architecture for a 23-agent fleet with explicit roles, routing, human approval gates, and clear boundaries across Hermes, Grok Bots, and OpenClaw. Focus on lanes over model hype.
Script-only / no_agent cron jobs were running correctly but invisible in Desktop (blank description, no history). Update now shows the script, Script badge, fire times, and printed output by falling back to cron docs when SessionDB rows are absent.
