Merging Grok Bot and Hermes Agent harnesses points to persistent self-improving agents
omarsar0 · x · 2026-09-05
Elvis Omarsar updated his agent harness to combine the best of Grok Bot and Hermes Agent, calling persistent self-improving agents with a well-designed UI "mindblowing" and much closer to the personal-agent dream he's been building for over a year. He argues that meta harnesses — the orchestration layer around agents — are criminally under-discussed, and he hopes to spotlight interesting ideas for anyone working on harness engineering. More to come.
