GROX vs Hermes Agent
An open-source agent from Nous Research, with a hosted Hermes Cloud, a screen you can watch it work on, and skills it improves itself. Here is how it compares with GROX — including where Hermes Agent is ahead.
Both do
- Watch it work on its own screen, and take over; steer it or stop it and keep what it finished.
- A standing goal it keeps working on, speaking up when something changes.
- Importing what another agent learned, with a look before anything is kept, never reading credential files.
- Skills that get better with use, and branching a chat from any answer.
Where GROX is different
- Building, deploying and sharing sites and apps.
- Approval cards before anything goes out, and money only within limits you set.
- Markets, voice calls and a people Inbox, in the same place.
- Nothing to install or host — it runs in your browser; GROX Desktop adds the folders on your own computer.
- Anything that sends, posts, pays or deletes waits for your approval first, on a card that says exactly what it will do.
- By default it only uses AI providers that agreed in writing not to train on what you send them.
- Bring your own AI keys on any plan, the free one included.
Where Hermes Agent is ahead
- Open source, and it runs local AI models on your own machine.
- Its screens in 16 languages; GROX's in 9.
- Signing in to websites through your password manager. GROX has you sign in yourself instead.
- A plugin store.
