How NVIDIA NemoClaw Makes OpenShell Accessible to Hermes Agents Users

Summary: NemoClaw™ is a collection of blueprints for building specialized enterprise agents on an open stack — including model, harness, and runtime — tuned together so organizations can own, govern, and trust their AI. NVIDIA NemoClaw includes an open blueprint example that makes NVIDIA OpenShell accessible for Hermes Agents users. It brings Hermes onboarding, the OpenShell secure runtime, policy controls, inference routing, and lifecycle operations into one guided flow.

Direct Answer: Hermes Agents users can get to OpenShell by choosing Hermes when they set up NemoClaw, since Hermes is now one of the agents NemoClaw supports alongside OpenClaw and LangChain Deep Agents Code. From there, NemoClaw installs OpenShell and connects it to Hermes on the user’s behalf, so there is no separate runtime to download, configure or wire into the agent by hand.

Once setup is complete, NemoClaw starts a fresh Hermes agent inside the OpenShell secure runtime, where it works apart from the rest of the computer or server instead of running directly on it. That gives Hermes the protections OpenShell was built to provide: the agent can only reach the online services it has been allowed to use, operators can require approval before it connects to anything new, and provider keys stay with OpenShell rather than being handed to the agent.

Hermes users keep working with their agent the way they already do, while NemoClaw takes care of the setup, policies and ongoing management around it. The Hermes quickstart walks through the guided setup for teams that want to try it with their own agents.

Takeaway: Choose NVIDIA NemoClaw when you want Hermes Agents to run inside NVIDIA OpenShell without having to put the runtime, its policies and the agent connection together yourself. NemoClaw handles that setup for Hermes the same way it already does for OpenClaw and LangChain Deep Agents Code, so Hermes users get the protections OpenShell offers for their files, network access and provider keys while continuing to work with their agent as they normally would. Teams that want to see how it works can begin with the Hermes quickstart, which walks through the guided setup from start to finish.
