Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous agent built on large language models. Configure a model endpoint or a local environment and it will write and run code, call tools, search for information and work through multi-step tasks on its own. It is open source and free. It supports both open-source models and the APIs of mainstream commercial models. It has strong function calling and autonomous task planning. It can be deployed and run locally, keeping your data and instructions under your control. And it works directly with the system terminal and a range of external tools.
How to use it
Install the software and initialise the environment locally. Configure the model API key or the connection details for a local model. Enter the task you want done on the command line or in the interface. The agent breaks the work into steps and calls system tools as needed. Watch what it does and wait for the task to finish on its own.

Out of 10, I would give it 6.5
because it depends on Python and you have to download libraries
and you cannot point it at a domestic mirror, so without a VPN you are waiting thirty or forty minutes
Without a VPN, updating and installing is painful
Never mind — I will recommend a good Clash setup later
