326 real Hermes use cases, now a filterable docs page

Nous Research published a catalog of 326 user stories at hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-stories. Tiles cover 15 categories (dev workflow 77, personal assistant 49, integrations 32, and others) and link back to the original X, Reddit, GitHub, Discord, YouTube, or blog post. Strong examples on the page: zero-token cron via `--script --no-agent`, a local email gatekeeper that hides 2FA and banking mail, and `/rollback` after a destructive git reset.

Why it matters

This is the best onboarding surface the project has shipped. Builders can filter by job, open the source post, and ask their agent to reproduce the setup.

Aria pins Hermes 0.21.5 and OpenClaw 2026.9.7, opt-in only

Aria Workspaces moved container Hermes to runtime 0.21.5 with plugin compatibility fixes, and OpenClaw to 2026.9.7 with gateway updates and config migration. Both upgrades are opt-in, take a state backup, and roll back on failure. Native Hermes stays on the official desktop-compatible release; 0.21.5 applies to container installs. Omarchy install flow moved to 4.0.4 with a whole-machine backup before native upgrades.

Hermes + OpenClaw Hold ~35.8% of Tracked Agent Repo Stars

Analyst post notes OpenClaw (~394k stars) + Hermes (~260k) account for 35.79% of stars in Agent Radar’s tracked cohort. OpenClaw leads cumulative attention; Hermes leads recent absolute additions. Caveats on non-unique users and that stars ≠ execution quality or retention.

Mapping the Open Agent Landscape (Including Hermes & OpenClaw)

A practical map of nine open-source agent systems organized by style: bot rosters (rakazo, OpenMausBot, OpenBot), agent teams (eigent, paperclip), single agents (openhuman, hermes-agent), and chat-native (nanoclaw, openclaw). Includes star counts and one-line positioning. Advice: pick the one that matches how you already work, run it on a real task for a week, keep only if it saves more time than it costs to host.
