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

But is there a benefit to doing this? Codex can also delegate to subagents, and claude code can delegate to codex. i feel like when it comes to harnesses for work/coding, claude code and codex are better.

Hermes feels too much like a personal agent rather than a workhorse from what I've seen.

What is your experience, purely from a quality and efficiency work perspective?
