First in Japan! 'Lolipop! AI Agent Cloud by GMO Pepabo' Now Supports Hermes Agent

GMO Pepabo, Inc. (represented by President Kentaro Sato), part of the GMO Internet Group, announced that its service 'Lolipop! AI Agent Cloud by GMO Pepabo' has begun supporting the AI agent framework 'Hermes Agent' as of April 28, 2026. This marks the first time a major domestic hosting service in Japan has offered Hermes Agent as a managed service. This integration allows users to easily choose between the highly versatile 'OpenClaw' and the long-term, self-improving 'Hermes Agent' through simple browser-based operations.

Hermes Agent is an open-source, self-growing AI agent developed by Nous Research, which gained over 100,000 GitHub stars within weeks of its release. Unlike conventional AI, it autonomously accumulates task experiences as 'skills' and retains memory across sessions. As it is used, it optimizes itself to the user's tasks and preferences, becoming an 'evolving AI partner.'

By providing this advanced environment without the need for complex command-line operations or infrastructure setup, 'Lolipop! AI Agent Cloud' aims to further enhance the utilization of AI. The 'OpenClaw / Hermes Agent Plan' is available for 1,200 JPY per month (including server fees). GMO Pepabo aims to continue being a platform where the latest AI can be used 'faster and easier than anywhere else' globally.
