What is OpenHermit?

OpenHermit is an open-source platform for deploying fleets of AI agents as production services. It handles durable state, sandboxed execution and management at scale, and connects to the channels you already use, so agents can run as real services instead of fragile scripts.

Pros

  • Purpose-built for running agent fleets in production
  • Durable state and sandboxed execution out of the box
  • MIT licensed and channel-friendly

Cons

  • Young project with a small community
  • Infrastructure-level tool, not for casual users

Who may not need it
