-# Why NeoAgent
+# NeoAgent, OpenClaw, and Hermes
 
-NeoAgent is the right choice if you want a focused self-hosted agent with real Android device control, recordings, health data, and a practical operator UI. OpenClaw covers more platforms but is a different kind of product.
+This page describes product emphasis, not a universal ranking. The projects
+change quickly, and the right choice depends on the interfaces and operating
+model you need.
 
-This comparison is based on the public [OpenClaw README](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openclaw/openclaw/main/README.md) as of April 7, 2026 and the current NeoAgent repository.
+The comparison was reviewed on June 14, 2026 against the public
+[OpenClaw repository](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw),
+[Hermes Agent repository](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent), and
+the current NeoAgent source.
 
-| | NeoAgent | OpenClaw |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Best for** | Personal automation server with Android control, recordings, and health data | Broad AI gateway with many channels, nodes, and companion surfaces |
-| **Setup** | `npm install -g neoagent && neoagent install` | `openclaw onboard` guided setup |
-| **Architecture** | Self-hosted Node server, SQLite, bundled web UI, server-side credentials | Gateway control plane with channels, optional nodes, wider platform surface |
-| **Android control** | Full AI control: screenshots, UI dumps, tap, swipe, type, intent launch, APK install, `adb shell` | Android node capabilities via the node ecosystem |
-| **Messaging** | 15+ platforms built-in — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Signal, Matrix, iMessage, Teams, IRC, LINE, Mattermost, Telnyx Voice, webhook bridges | Larger channel/node ecosystem |
-| **Operator UI** | Chat, runs, logs, tasks, skills, integrations, MCP, memory, devices, recordings, health, settings | Gateway, canvas, platform, node, and channel surfaces |
-| **Credentials** | All secrets server-side; channel settings stored through the app | Broader config surface across gateway, channels, and nodes |
-| **Automation** | Cron tasks, integration triggers, browser/CLI skills, MCP, subagents, recording search, health summaries, messaging delivery | Cron, webhooks, nodes, channel-specific actions |
-| **Recovery** | `neoagent status`, `neoagent logs`, `neoagent update`, `neoagent fix` | Doctor-style diagnostics plus channel/node tooling |
+| Area | NeoAgent | OpenClaw | Hermes Agent |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Primary experience | Operator UI backed by a self-hosted service | Gateway and assistant across channels, nodes, and companion surfaces | Terminal UI or messaging gateway |
+| Persistent memory | Local structured facts, temporal updates, provenance, hybrid retrieval | Project-defined memory and plugin surfaces | Built-in Markdown memory with optional external memory providers |
+| Android operation | Direct ADB control of a host-attached device or emulator | Android companion/node capabilities | Android and Termux-oriented capabilities |
+| Desktop and browser | Isolated runtime, paired desktop companion, paired Chrome extension | Node and companion ecosystem | Local and remote execution backends |
+| Multi-user administration | User accounts, admin interface, optional service email, per-user runtime | Gateway-centered deployment model | Primarily personal-agent configuration |
+| Automation | Schedules, account events, weather events, webhooks, notification runs | Cron, hooks, webhooks, and channel/node events | Cron, gateway events, and tool-driven workflows |
+| Interfaces | Web, Android, desktop, launcher, messaging, extension, wearable firmware | Broad channel, platform, node, and companion ecosystem | Terminal plus Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, email, and other integrations |
+| Migration into NeoAgent | Native importer target | Skills, memory files, and selected keys can be imported | Skills, memory files, and selected keys can be imported |
 
-**Choose NeoAgent** when you want the shortest path to a self-hosted proactive agent with Android control and a practical operator UI.
+## Choose NeoAgent when
 
-**Choose OpenClaw** when you need maximum channel coverage, a gateway/node architecture, or the larger companion-app ecosystem.
+- You want a visual operator interface for agents, runs, memory, tasks,
+  accounts, devices, and administration.
+- Direct Android control over ADB is central to the deployment.
+- You want structured memory and integration ingestion without a separate
+  memory service.
+- You need multiple users or specialist agents with separate state.
+- Launcher mode, Health Connect, recordings, or the bundled device interfaces
+  are part of the use case.
+
+## Consider OpenClaw when
+
+- Its larger gateway, node, channel, plugin, or companion ecosystem is the main
+  requirement.
+- You need an existing OpenClaw-specific integration or community resource.
+- Its distributed assistant architecture better matches your devices.
+
+## Consider Hermes when
+
+- A terminal-first workflow is preferable.
+- Its skill ecosystem, remote execution options, or model workflow fits the
+  task.
+- Built-in Markdown memory or one of its external memory providers is already
+  part of your setup.
+
+NeoAgent's memory architecture is documented in [Memory](memory.md). The
+project does not claim superior recall without a reproducible, published
+benchmark that records the dataset, models, retrieval settings, judge, token
+budget, latency, and run artifacts.
