Hermes Agent v0.17 “Reach” Update: Sub-Agents, Image Editing, Blueprints & Self-Improving Loops

The script explains Hermes Agent v0.17 (“Reach”), highlighting the most actionable changes: new sub-agents that let Hermes delegate work to multiple asynchronous agents in parallel (e.g., generating multiple SEO articles at once), image-to-image editing when an image model is connected, and automation blueprints that can be copied from templates to quickly set up scheduled workflows. It also shows how to switch to Groq Composer 2.5 Fast via Groq OAuth (including through a Twitter or Groq subscription) without paying extra for APIs. The update includes easier creation and management of multiple agent profiles for different skills and models, plus “agent loops” where a builder and an impartial judge iterate until a quality score threshold is met, demonstrated with autopublished SEO content and an AI-generated video using a Kanban-based team workflow.
