How to Create AI Videos With Hermes Agent and Higgsfield

This Higgsfield how-to of 13 October 2026 shows how to make AI videos with Hermes Agent, Nous Research's open-source agent, through the Higgsfield CLI and its skills. Setup takes three commands: install the CLI, log in with higgsfield auth login, then add the skills; generations use plan credits at standard rates, and Unlimited access does not apply. Before the first generation, Higgsfield advises telling Hermes to report the credit cost and wait for confirmation, then refining the video with follow-up prompts.

What is said

★ — how much it matters to the source.

  • ★★★ To generate AI videos with Hermes through Higgsfield, Higgsfield says you need the Higgsfield CLI installed and connected to Hermes, a clear idea in plain language and a Higgsfield account with credits; Hermes runs the workflow and Higgsfield provides the generation tools. · Hermes Agent, Higgsfield CLI
  • ★★ Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous AI agent by Nous Research that uses tools, skills, memory and external integrations for multi-step tasks; on its own it does not generate video. · Hermes Agent, agentic AI
  • ★★ Through Higgsfield CLI + Skills, Hermes can select a model, submit a generation request and retrieve the result. · Hermes Agent, Higgsfield CLI
  • ★★ Generating with Hermes through Higgsfield needs Hermes Agent installed, Node.js and npm for the setup commands, a Higgsfield account with an active paid subscription and credits, and Higgsfield CLI + Skills installed where Hermes runs. · Hermes Agent, Higgsfield CLI
  • ★★★ Higgsfield CLI generations need no Higgsfield API key and use plan credits at standard rates; Unlimited access and free generations on higgsfield.ai do not apply through the CLI. · Higgsfield CLI, Higgsfield API, Higgsfield Unlimited
  • ★★★ To connect Hermes Agent to Higgsfield: install the CLI (ask Hermes, or run npm i -g @higgsfield/cli), log in with higgsfield auth login, which opens a browser to confirm the account, then add the skills with npx skills add higgsfield-ai/skills. · Hermes Agent, Higgsfield CLI
  • ★★ To brief Hermes for a Higgsfield video, Higgsfield advises describing the subject, setting and action in plain language, then adding aspect ratio and clip length ("Horizontal, 16:9, 15 seconds") and a reference image when a product or character matters. · Hermes Agent
  • ★★ Higgsfield advises naming the model for Hermes or asking it to choose one, and having it check that the model supports the chosen settings and inputs. · Hermes Agent
  • ★★★ Before Hermes generates, Higgsfield advises adding the instruction "Before generating anything, tell me the credit cost and wait for my confirmation". · Hermes Agent
  • ★★ Higgsfield advises checking a Hermes result's framing, motion and lighting against the brief, and for another version describing what should change and asking Hermes to confirm the cost first. · Hermes Agent
  • ★★ To refine a Hermes video, Higgsfield advises follow-up messages on camera ("Push in slower"), action or style; Hermes can build on the conversation and earlier Higgsfield generations, so the full brief need not always be repeated. · Hermes Agent
  • ★★ Higgsfield CLI generations also appear in Assets on higgsfield.ai, alongside generations made on the web. · Higgsfield CLI
  • ★★ Higgsfield suggests Hermes for turning a brief into a video concept, reviewing it, developing a creative direction and generating a first version in one conversation, and for exploring variations in colour, camera movement or background. · Hermes Agent
  • ★★ Hermes and other coding agents connect to Higgsfield through CLI + Skills; Claude web and Cowork connect through Higgsfield MCP, ChatGPT through the Higgsfield Plugin, and Claude Code can use the CLI workflow. · Hermes Agent, Higgsfield CLI, Claude, Higgsfield MCP, ChatGPT, Higgsfield ChatGPT Plugin, Claude Code
  • ★★ Higgsfield says Hermes can be useful when video generation is part of a larger task (reviewing a brief, organising reference files, preparing prompts, then generating), while someone who prefers a familiar chat interface may be better served by a chat assistant. · Hermes Agent
