Oh hell no. "Let me steal your secret keys" basically. This submission should be removed.

What? This is just a documentation site. Everything points to the official repo/resources.

Looks suspicious as hell, all those "We're just information pointing to official docs" websites look suspicious as hell.

It really isn't clear this website isn't run by Nous Research themselves, and it's pretty clear the website is intentionally trying to deceive people into thinking this is an official resource. In the footer for example:

> Contact: Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous AI agent by Nous Research that grows smarter the longer it runs.

Not until you go into the Terms of Service is it clear it isn't related to Nous Research at all, and nothing makes it clear who/what is really running this website.

Really wild trying to defend slop websites like these.

I don't really see how Pi is a FOMO framework. It's basically the minimal surface area framework for you to build other things on. I'm building some agent powered applications and I would have no ability to do that reliably on Claude Code/codex/cursor because they lack the integration depth I need, that Pi provides.

Yeah, I used that term loosely, for me FOMO is everything I don't know. It's not a FOMO framework to you (but your comment definitely adds to my FOMO, in a totally positive way I mean...)

Words are loosing all their meaning, fast too. Wonder how conversations between humans will look like in 5-10 years.

Why do these AI agents keep using Telegram as their channel for user communication? Telegram is literally a spying platform run by the FSB?

Telegram makes it very easy to create a bot. Other systems are either inconvenient or actively hostile to new bots, especially if you're not a well-known business.

Probably easiest way to get started today with something like that, agree. IRC is also very nice for it, and stupidly simple protocol even the dumbest LLM could interface with, trivial to host your own server too if you don't want to use existing ones with private channels.

Surprised it wasn't on the homepage yet, my X / LinkedIn feed is non stop about it. I would love to hear from someone who actually played with all the FOMO harnesses / frameworks and actually did a first impression comparison on what to try out (I'm sure it's not even apples to apples) or discovered that it's all marginally better at best from just rolling your own via Claude Code / Codex / Cursor... - paperclip - he…

OpenCode seemed perfectly workable as a programming assistant. As personal assistants, they all fall short. It's too difficult to really shape their output. I was briefly impressed with OpenClaw a few times, but ultimately was turned off by not being able to get the models to stop being so damnably verbose. I thought I made progress for a while by having it tweak its soul, iterate, switch models, iterate, switch mode…

The handling of that issue looks _incredibly_ shady.

Not touching this project with a ten foot pole..

I’m not sure, but I integrated Claude with Slack (with my own app; not the default Claude app). It’s a game changer. Claude is literally like a co-worker now. When I ask it for work, it creates a dedicated Slack channel that runs that session Id. I can resume from Cli or import cli sessions into slack.
