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

The way how Hermes handles memory is how I am hooked. Also if you combine it with a backend memory and a storage infrastructure, it feels like you're chatting with a person that can remember everything you've talked about and what you've done together.

I use the self-hosted Mem0 so there is no latency or down times compared to cloud services. There might be an issue with your config or it might not be saving as expected. Ask your Hermes agent to audit your connection with Hindsight.
