Ollama brings open language models onto your own machine: one command in the terminal pulls a model from the library and runs it, on macOS, Windows or Linux. Other programs talk to the model through an interface they already know from OpenAI, which is why Hermes Agent can be pointed at it directly. Open source under the MIT license.

Hermes Agent
Nous Research calls Hermes Agent “The Agent That Grows With You”: an open-source agent under the MIT license that remembers your projects and the solutions it has found. It answers on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, email or in the terminal, schedules tasks in plain language and hands bigger jobs to its own subagents. There is an app for macOS and Windows, and on Linux it runs in the terminal.
The language model behind it is yours to choose: Nous Portal and other cloud providers, or a model on your own machine through Ollama. Then the AI stays local.

Seth Godin: a job where I can’t write down what you do all day
There are very few jobs where, if I can write down what you do all day, I can’t find an AI to do it faster and cheaper than you. So you want a job where I can’t write down what you do all day.
— Seth Godin, in conversation with Steven Bartlett, The Diary of a CEO, 10 August 2026.I haven’t read The Knot yet, but it’s on my reading list and it just became my next pick. This is such a good reminder that we can’t hide behind busy work anymore, and honestly that feels like a gift: it’s our chance to finally show up and do the work we always dreamt of doing.
