This is probably the first Hermes Agent review I’ve read that actually tests real-world engineering workflows instead of just glorified demos. The part about Hermes remembering and reusing the CSV workflow on a completely different dataset is honestly the most impressive thing here. That’s where it stops feeling like a chatbot and starts feeling like a persistent system.
Also appreciated that you highlighted the weak spots too — especially the shallow code review reasoning and silent GitHub token failure. Those details made the whole review feel way more credible.
The “stateless AI vs compounding AI” line is going to stick with me for a while 👏

Appreciate that. The goal of this Hermes Agent review was exactly that — test real engineering workflows, not surface-level demos. The CSV workflow reuse is where it starts to feel like persistent systems instead of a stateless chatbot, and that shift is the real story behind compounding AI agents.
