Hermes powers Prismvideos' new AI agent API

Prismvideos.com built a media‑generation agent with Vercel AI Agents SDK, letting the bot recommend models, create images and videos, and analyse footage. A rival, Higgsfield, released Supercomputer – an agent with session‑wide memory, skills, automations, a filesystem and a built‑in computer – built on the open‑source Hermes platform, which has 185k+ GitHub stars and quickly eclipsed our feature set for our customers.

Realizing Hermes offered session management, built‑in web search, browser, file navigation, self‑learning loops and persistent storage, Prismvideos scrapped its original code. They launched an EC2 instance running a Hono server that spawns a Docker‑containerised Hermes agent per customer, proxies messages via WebSocket, and exposes a single POST /v1/deployments call to provision fully featured agents for their media workflow clients today.

Unlike LangChain Managed Deep Agents or Claude Managed Agents, the new API bundles session handling, observational memory, built‑in tools, persistent filesystem, image and video inputs, and automation hooks in one request, while remaining provider‑agnostic. Prismvideos demonstrates that the agent itself, not a custom harness, is the reusable primitive for B2B AI products. The company now offers turnkey agent deployments to any developer.
