Hermes Agent
Hermes Agent by Nous Research is an open-source autonomous AI agent designed to run locally on your server and improve over time. It operates independently from traditional chatbots by maintaining persistent memory and learning from past interactions. The agent can integrate with multiple platforms such as Slack, Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp through a unified gateway. Hermes supports automation tasks like scheduling reports, managing workflows, and executing commands using natural language. It also enables parallel task execution through subagents, improving efficiency for complex operations. With built-in tools for web browsing, search, and code execution, it provides a versatile environment for various tasks. Overall, Hermes Agent acts as a continuously evolving AI system that adapts to user needs and workflows.

Microsoft Agent Framework
Microsoft Agent Framework is an open source SDK and runtime designed to help developers build, orchestrate, and deploy AI agents and multi-agent workflows using languages such as .NET and Python. It combines the simple agent abstractions of AutoGen with the enterprise-grade capabilities of Semantic Kernel, including session-based state management, type safety, middleware, telemetry, and broad model and embedding support, creating a unified platform for both experimentation and production use. It introduces graph-based workflows that give developers explicit control over how multiple agents interact, execute tasks, and coordinate complex processes, enabling structured orchestration across sequential, concurrent, or branching scenarios. It supports long-running and human-in-the-loop workflows through robust state management, allowing agents to maintain context, reason through multi-step problems, and operate continuously over time.

epho
Epho turns coding agents into an API, letting developers run Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode in isolated cloud sandboxes through a single HTTP endpoint. Send a prompt, choose a harness and model, attach repositories and files, connect MCP servers, and pass environment variables or provider credentials; Epho boots the environment, clones the code, wires in the tools, and streams the agent’s work back as it happens. Runs can return live events, tool calls, edits, final answers, and artifacts, or execute asynchronously with polling and webhooks. Chats are durable, so follow-up turns can resume with the same filesystem, checkout, agent session, system prompt, model, and MCP configuration even if the original sandbox is gone. Private GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories are supported, and agents can read code, make changes, run tests, and iterate on failures just as they would locally. Every event is persisted, allowing interrupted streams to reconnect without losing the run.

Flue
Flue is an open agent framework for building durable AI agents with a programmable TypeScript harness. Created by the team behind Astro, it uses a React-like hooks API to compose agent behavior, persistent state, lifecycle events, models, tools, sandboxes, subagents, skills, and MCP servers in code. Agents are stateful and addressable over HTTP, keep context across conversations and events, and can change capabilities as work progresses. Flue records every session in a durable stream, so accepted work survives crashes, restarts, and deploys; interrupted sessions resume automatically and clients reconnect without starting over. Developers can run agents locally, in CI, from their own backend, or orchestrate them with systems such as Cloudflare Workflows and Inngest. Secure sandboxes let agents run commands, edit files, and do real work, while tools connect them to APIs and data. Flue is powered by Pi and supports different LLM providers, allowing teams to choose the models they want.
