# What is Hermes?


| Hermes Agent is a self hosted AI assistant that comes pre installed on your VPS, allowing you to start using it without having to install or configure everything from scratch. Unlike AI services that run entirely on third party platforms, Hermes Agent runs directly on your own VPS. This gives you a dedicated environment where your AI assistant can operate continuously while you retain control over your server. Hermes Agent is suitable for users who want a simple way to run their own AI assistant on a VPS without going through a complicated deployment process.

Why is Hermes Agent hosted on a VPS?

Hermes Agent is designed to run on a VPS because it requires a stable environment that can remain online 24/7. Unlike a personal computer, a VPS stays powered on continuously, allowing your AI assistant to remain available whenever you need it. Running Hermes Agent on a VPS also provides dedicated computing resources, ensuring smoother and more consistent performance.

Benefits of Hermes Agent:
* Pre installed and Ready to Use
Hermes Agent is already installed on your VPS, so you can get started without performing the initial installation yourself.

* 24/7 Availability
Since Hermes Agent runs on a VPS, it remains online even when your personal computer is turned off.

* Dedicated Resources
Your VPS provides dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage, helping Hermes Agent run more reliably.

* Full VPS Access
You have root level access to your VPS, giving you control over your server environment and allowing you to manage it according to your requirements.

* Stable Hosting Environment
A VPS provides a reliable platform for running Hermes Agent continuously without depending on your local device.

* Upgradeable Resources
If your requirements grow, you can upgrade your VPS resources to improve performance.

|| Hermes Agent is pre installed on the VPS before it is delivered to you. This allows you to get started faster without going through the installation process.

Who is Hermes Agent suitable for?

Hermes Agent is suitable for users who want an AI assistant running on their own VPS without having to perform the initial installation themselves. It is a convenient option for users looking for a ready-to-use AI environment with dedicated server resources.
