Brought to you by The AI Capitol

Most AI agents forget you the moment you close the tab. Hermes is the one that remembers.

On Thursday 9 July, The AI Capitol is hosting Hermes AI Agent Night with Amazon Web Services (AWS), and we are going for what we hope will be the largest Hermes AI Agent gathering in the world.

So what is Hermes. It is an open source AI agent built by Nous Research, and it works in a fundamentally different way from the assistants most people know. It runs on your own machine. It keeps a memory across every conversation.

And it writes and improves its own skills as it works, so the more you use it, the better it gets at the things you actually do. The team behind it calls it the agent that grows with you, and once you watch that compounding happen in real time, it is hard to go back.

That is what this night is built around. Real builders, live demos, and full agent teams running on stage. Not slideware about what might be possible one day, but what people in Singapore are already shipping right now.

Come see the builds, meet the people behind them, and leave with a much sharper sense of where personal AI agents are heading.

If you are building with AI agents in Singapore, this is the room.

Thursday 9 July, 6pm to 9pm SGT.

Capacity is limited.
