g-agent: automation for Hermes Agent

Experimental local-first agent runtime for persistent characters, derived from nanobot and Hermes Agent

What g-agent does

g-agent lets you run agents that carry persistent memory, domain expertise and custom tools, and treats them as departments such as finance, devops, content or customer support. The same agent can respond over WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Email or the command line, and it can work with Gmail and Calendar through the local gws CLI.

The README lists what exists today: company identity and goals kept in local workspace files and SQLite, secure local tools for file editing, shell execution and task schedules, multi-model routing through direct providers, local inference or OpenAI-compatible proxies, and durable memory in MEMORY.md, PROFILE.md, PROJECTS.md and LESSONS.md. Scheduled jobs, cron triggers, event listeners and user-level systemd daemons are included. Its stated principles favour local control, explicit permission gates, approvals, allowlists and auditable action logs. Setup is a git clone followed by a pip editable install, and fuller guides are on its docs site. The license is MIT.
