Run a Powerful AI Agent Locally — Hermes Agent + Ollama (No API Key Required)

In this video, I show you how to set up NousResearch's Hermes Agent — an open-source, self-improving AI agent — and connect it to a local Ollama model so you can run it completely free, offline, and private. No OpenAI key. No OpenRouter. Just your machine. What you'll learn: → What Hermes Agent is and why it's different → Installing Hermes Agent on Linux / macOS / WSL2 → Setting up Ollama and pulling a local model → Pointing Hermes at your local Ollama endpoint → Running your first local AI agent session Commands used in this video: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash hermes model # Select: Custom endpoint → http://localhost:11434/v1 Best Runpod: https://get.runpod.io/pe48 🔗 My Links ☕ Support me: https://ko-fi.com/promptengineer 📱 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PromptEngineer975 📞 Book a Call: https://calendly.com/prompt-engineer48/call 💀 GitHub: https://github.com/PromptEngineer48 🔖 Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/prompt48 👍 If you found this useful, like and subscribe for more local AI content! #hermes-agent,
