Introduction

CLAW NOVA is an autonomous AI workspace powered by Hermes Agent. It is not a chatbot. It is not a ChatGPT wrapper. It is not a crypto trading bot.

Hermes is an agent runtime. It plans goals, calls tools, persists memory, and runs workflows — all locally, all open-source, all wallet-native.

What you get

• A Hermes agent that decomposes goals into typed step graphs and executes them.
• Persistent memory across sessions, weeks, projects.
• A workflow engine for triggers, conditions, and tool chains.
• Wallet-native authentication on Ethereum and Solana — no email, no password.
• A local-first architecture: by default, your data never leaves your machine.

What this is not

• Not a chatbot. There is no chat menu. Every surface is the same agent loop pointed at a different goal.
• Not a wrapper. Hermes is open-source TypeScript. You can read every line.
• Not a trading bot. Hermes can research and prepare transactions, but signing always happens in your wallet.
