Everything OpenClaw gives you. None of the maintenance.
OpenClaw is a powerful open-source framework for running Claude-based agents. But it's self-hosted. It breaks on updates. It requires a terminal-comfortable operator on the team. And it doesn't give you persistent cloud hosting.
Hermes OS is the managed alternative. Same agent power — browser automation, tool use, memory, scheduling — but hosted on our infrastructure. We handle updates, monitoring, restarts, and backups. You handle the actual work your agent does.
Migration is built in. Your existing OpenClaw agent prompts, skills, and configuration transfer directly to Hermes OS. No rebuild from scratch.
- Native OpenClaw import — prompted prompts, tools, and config migrate
- No maintenance when Hermes or OpenClaw updates ship
- Persistent cloud hosting — not a local process
- Dashboard, monitoring, and restart management included
- Better memory stability than self-hosted setups
How different is Hermes OS from OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is open-source desktop software you self-host. Hermes OS is managed cloud hosting for Hermes agents. The agent capabilities are similar; the infrastructure is completely different — Hermes OS handles all of it for you.
Can I migrate my existing OpenClaw setup to Hermes OS?
Yes. Hermes OS has a native OpenClaw migration path. Your agent prompts, skills, tools, and configuration import directly. The process takes minutes.
Do I lose anything by switching from OpenClaw to Hermes OS?
You gain managed hosting, persistent memory, automatic backups, and zero maintenance. The main difference is you're no longer self-hosting — but you can still access container config if needed.
