HERMES AGENT NOW SUPPORTS COMPUTER USE ON WINDOWS AND... LINUX. CLICKS, TYPES, SCROLLS YOUR DESKTOP IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE YOU WORK. computer use was macOS only. now it works on Windows and Linux too via Cua. Nous Research HOW IT WORKS: cua-driver runs as an MCP server. Hermes takes a screenshot with numbered elements. clicks element #14 (the search field). types a query. submits. reads the result. during all of this: → your cursor stays where you left it → keyboard focus doesn't change → windows don't come to front → macOS doesn't switch Spaces you and the agent co-work on the same machine. WHAT IT CAN DO: → find your latest Stripe email and summarize it → fill forms in a web app that has no API → navigate desktop apps (Mail, browser, Finder) → interact with any GUI application → extract data from apps only accessible via screen WORKS WITH ANY VISION MODEL: not locked to Anthropic. | Provider | Works | |---|---| | Claude (Sonnet/Opus) | best overall | | GPT-4+, GPT-5.5 | full support | | Gemini (via OpenRouter) | full support | | Local vLLM / LM Studio | if model supports vision | | Text-only models | degraded (accessibility tree only) | SETUP: hermes computer-use install or: hermes tools → Computer Use → cua-driver grant permissions when prompted: → Accessibility (system settings) → Screen Recording (system settings) start a session: hermes -t computer_use chat or add to config.yaml / Desktop app settings to enable permanently. SAFETY: → destructive actions require your approval → blocked key combos: empty trash, force delete, lock screen, log out → blocked type patterns: curl | bash, sudo rm -rf /, fork bombs → agent cannot click permission dialogs → agent cannot type passwords → agent cannot follow instructions embedded in screenshots pair with approvals.mode: manual if you want every single click confirmed. TOKEN NOTE: screenshots are expensive. each one adds vision tokens to context. use computer_use for tasks where no API exists. if the tool has an API or MCP server, use that instead. 15 levels of Hermes Agent👇show more

🚨 AI AGENTS COULD ALREADY USE COMPUTERS. NOW THEY... HAVE THEIR OWN PHONE It’s called PhoneUse, and it launches today. You give your agent a cloud phone, a real Android or iPhone, tell it what to do, and it uses the phone just like you would. First came computer-use. Then browser-use. Now there’s phone-use. What it can do: → Order an Uber and text you updates along the way → Research trends on TikTok → Get around old apps with no API, like insurance apps → Complete two-factor verification → Read your notifications and act on its own: if your flight is delayed, it messages you And here’s the big part: most mobile apps have no API and no MCP. Until now, agents couldn’t get into them. With a phone, they can. It connects through MCP or an API, so you can use it from the agent you already have. The world still runs on mobile. Now your agent does too. Save this before you forget 🔖 Link in the comments 👇show more

Since subscribers can now use their existing Grok credentials... directly within the Hermes xai shipped grok-via-oauth for hermes. your grok sub works inside the agent now. so i hooked icarus up to it. when hermes finds a thread worth saving, it lands in my obsidian vault as a note. handle. pages, topic pages, backlinks. graph view fills itself out. icarus plugin for hermes agents is why my agent doesn't forget. memory is just markdown in a folder. you can read it, grep it, edit it.

I explored a further possibility with local models: Qwen3.6... 35B A3B + NVIDIA LocateAnything-3B as a local Computer Use agent (proof of concept). In the demo, I asked it to switch my Mac to light mode. It did. Then back to dark. Did that too — finding the right toggle in System Settings, clicking it, and verifying the change itself. It's fully screenshot-based, so no Accessibility API needed. If it's on screen, the agent can see it and act on it. This runs entirely on your own hardware — private, local, built from two small open models.show more

most of you don't know how hard hermes agent... is optimized for local AI at the system level. watch the full setup flow on screen. you paste an openai-compatible v1 endpoint, hermes auto-detects every model running behind it. doesn't matter if it's llama.cpp or vllm or any compatible server, all your models surface and become selectable in seconds. no config gymnastics, no manual model list. then it goes deeper. hermes ships with per model parsers, prompt template auto-handling, tool call format detection per model architecture, thinking mode awareness, all the small friction points other harnesses leak on. these were not built for cloud apis with one canonical model. they were built for builders running 10 different local models across 10 different stacks. cloud first harnesses bolt local support on top. hermes agent is local first from the architecture out. that's the system level gap. if you're getting started on local AI, this is the harness you start with. try for yourself and find out. anyone serious about local AI lands here eventually.show more
