The day in one breath

Hermes Agent v0.22.6 release and the concurrent Grok Bot → Hermes migration wave

The tag landed on November 2 with migration tooling, skill locks, memory stability fixes, and Desktop/mobile continuity. At the same time, users publicly described quota and reliability friction on other agents and are actively moving workloads to Hermes because they can choose models (including local), keep control of the harness, and now have an official import path. The volume of merged PRs (190 on the 2nd alone in one digest) and the concrete user stories make this the clear highest-signal development for anyone building or running agents in this ecosystem today. *Sources checked: @NousResearch, @iamlukethedev, @HermesWatcher, @BkashJosi, @tonysimons, community keyword/semantic searches Nov 1–3 2026.

Releases

Hermes Agent v0.22.6 Ships — Migration Tools, Skill Locks, Gateway Webapp

Nous Research tagged Hermes Agent v0.22.6 on November 2. The release rolls up roughly 776 PRs since v0.22.5. Notable additions include `hermes migrate` for importing Grok Bot and OpenBot setups, per-skill locks that prevent the agent from rewriting protected skills, a gateway-hosted webapp, improved memory trimming so the gateway no longer freezes every minute, and Desktop/mobile session continuity. Full curated notes are deferred to v0.23.0; this is the stable tag for CLI, Microsoft Store, Docker, and Hermes Cloud.

Users Migrating from Grok Bot to Hermes After Quota Shifts

Multiple users reported sudden quota exhaustion on Grok Bot workflows that previously ran within limits. One detailed account described a small business running on Grok Bot (approvals only) that went over quota in a day and is now migrating the entire setup to Hermes for multi-model choice, local models, and provider independence. Official `hermes migrate` support landed in the same window.

Hermes Mobile App Early Feedback: “Holy Shit Good So Far”

First-day users of the Hermes mobile app are reporting strong early experience once the gateway is correctly configured (`hermes serve` endpoint, not the webapp port). Desktop/mobile session continuity improved in the latest merges. One user noted switching on-the-go use from Telegram to the native app.
