Hermes Agent Wiki
The official documentation is 200+ pages in English. This wiki gives you the practical route — the order you will actually need things in, with Czech pricing, providers and hands-on experience added.
How this wiki is organised
This is not a translation of the official documentation. A literal translation would only be a second, worse copy — so we pick what people here actually need, and add the local context the original is missing: what hosting costs, which providers you can pay from Czechia, how to get the agent to speak Czech, and the pitfalls we hit while running it.
Start here — twelve pages in order
The first page is finished and serves as the template for the rest. We add them in the order you need them:
Installation on a VPS
Server, one-command install, choosing a model, running in the background, and our pitfalls
✅ done2Choosing an AI model
Recommended models, what they cost and where to buy them — including payment from Czechia
✅ done3Your first chat
How to give verifiable tasks, and what to expect from the agent
✅ done4Telegram and Discord
Connecting the agent to chat so it answers on your phone
⏳ in progress5Skills — extending the agent
Teaching the agent new procedures, and where to get ready-made ones
⏳ in progress6Agent memory
So it remembers context and does not forget what you told it
⏳ in progress7Scheduled tasks (cron)
Jobs that run themselves — a morning message, a nightly check
⏳ in progress8MCP tools
Connecting other programs and data through a common standard
⏳ in progress9Security
Keys, permissions, what to trust the agent with and what not to
⏳ in progress10When something breaks
The most common errors and their fixes, in one place
⏳ in progress11FAQ
The questions we get asked most
⏳ in progress12Glossary
One consistent terminology for terms the original mixes in English
⏳ in progressWhat every page includes
| Element | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Verified on | Every page states the date we compared it with the official documentation. A check runs automatically, so you can see whether the page is current |
| Local context | Prices in Czech crowns, local providers, payments from Czechia, Czech language in practice — none of that is in the original |
| Experience from production | The pitfalls we walked into ourselves, including errors the documentation does not mention |
| Copy for your AI | Every page also has a clean text version. Paste it to your agent and it can work from it — the same approach the official docs use |
| Link to the original | Each page names the official documentation page it draws from, so you can verify it |
