Hermes Agent now has Computer Use🤯 You can now control your actual computer with ANY model through Hermes Agent × Cua not just frontier models locked behind special modes. Even crazier: • Runs entirely in the background • Doesn’t hijack your PC • You keep full control of your keyboard, mouse, and screen while the agent works This is starting to feel less like an AI chatbot and more like a real agentic operating system.
