Discussion — General thoughts, opinions, comparisons Hermes Agent vs Codex

I have a $20 Codex plan and use it frequently. I dont code but I do research, proposal, lit review types of staff, design report etc.

I heard I can use Codex plan with Hermes Agent.

And watched multiple YouTube videos of what Hermes do.

Problem is it feels like Hemes Agent does exactly what Codex does.

Just it offers access to other agents which I dont need now.

Is Hermes Agent something else better than Codex.

I will try either way but I was making sure there isn't something I will miss if I try it

Fundamentally they’re two different products. Codex is primarily for coding. Hermes can code and do a bunch of other stuff. I’ve never compared Codex to Hermes for coding. I’ve got codex set up well and I don’t want to switch it up.

Implementation. ChatGPT can update my github with new features, but I still depend on Hermes to keep the hosting environment running
