One signal

A Twilio developer tutorial shows how to connect Nous Research’s Hermes Agent to its own phone number, so people can interact with the AI agent over SMS. It is a practical bridge between an open-source agent and an everyday messaging channel, rather than a new Hermes release.

Why it matters

The specific appeal is simple: message the agent by text instead of opening a separate interface. Twilio’s tutorial is the source for the setup; the supplied evidence does not give the configuration steps or establish the costs, security safeguards or limits, so check those before handing an agent a phone number and a job.

Discuss: Would SMS make an AI agent useful enough to use every day, or does giving it a phone number create more hassle and risk than it solves?
