Okay, This is a big Hermes Desktop update 👀 Hermes can now actually use the Preview pane. Not just open a page. Not just read a page. Use it. Click. Type. Scroll. Navigate. Annotate. Inside the same visible browser pane you are watching. That is a big deal. It means Hermes Desktop is starting to feel a lot less like a chat window attached to tools and a lot more like an agent that can work through web tasks in front of you. Think about the use cases: → Open documentation and show you exactly where a setting lives → Walk through a setup flow and point out what to click → Search a site, open the right result, and keep moving → Work through a dashboard while you supervise → Annotate important controls on a crowded page → Reproduce a web issue step by step → Fill out multi-step web workflows with you watching → Find the right tutorial or guide and take you straight to it That changes the feel of Hermes Desktop. Because now Hermes is not just telling you what to do. It can show you, point to it, and act on it in the same workspace. This one opens up a lot!!!

Hermes is powerful. But Open WebUI makes it way easier to actually use. Here’s the setup: → Run Hermes locally → Add the API server → Set up the environment file → Install Open WebUI with Docker → Connect Hermes as the chat agent → Log in and start chatting through a clean UI Now you can use Hermes without living inside the terminal. You get a ChatGPT-style interface, file uploads, model switching, web search, image tools, previews, and cleaner conversation management. Save this video, you’ll make Hermes 10x easier to use. Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

This guy literally tested Hermes Agent vs OpenClaw side by side. Hermes won. And it wasn't close. Here's what made the difference: → Hermes built the website faster → Hermes gave live updates the whole time. OpenClaw went silent. → Hermes designed a cleaner page using the exact same AI model → And then Hermes did something OpenClaw can't do at all. It learned from the task. Every mistake gets logged. Every win gets saved as a reusable skill. The more you use it, the smarter it gets. OpenClaw doesn't do this unless you manually set up a learning file. Hermes does it automatically. Every single time. Other wins: → Runs free with Ollama + MiniMax → Works on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and Email → Supports 200+ AI models → Built-in migration tool from OpenClaw — one command to switch 11,600 GitHub stars. 142 contributors. If you're already on OpenClaw, you don't have to start over. Just ask Hermes to import everything.

HERMES JUST FIXED THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH BROWSER AGENTS Most AI agents still click around websites like confused interns. This new setup gives them the map. Hermes + → Hermes now connects to Browserbase’s new Browse hub → Browse launched with 100+ browser skills → Each skill is a plain-text playbook for a specific website or task → Your agent can search, preview, and install skills inside Hermes Why This Matters: ✓ Less random clicking ✓ Fewer timeouts ✓ Better form filling ✓ More reliable website navigation ✓ Skills can be edited, reused, bundled, and shared The Real Stack: → Hermes runs the agent → Browserbase handles cloud browser infrastructure → gives the agent site-specific skills → Vision helps when pages get weird → Bundles let you load repeat workflows faster The killer detail: If a website breaks, you don’t wait for the model to magically improve. You update the skill. Now your agent gets better forever. That’s the difference between an AI tool and an actual agent system.

HERMES DESKTOP APP JUST GOT A NEW ULTRA MODE FOR DEEPSEEK V4 PRO – AND IT COSTS ABOUT $1 A DAY TO RUN If you're using Hermes desktop app, you're probably already running DeepSeek – it's one of the top models available. The update: → DeepSeek V4 Pro now has thinking mode, fast mode, and a brand new ultra mode → There's also an extra high mode, but the real upgrade is ultra The actual cost: roughly $1/day for a normal workflow. That's about $20-25/month – basically the same as before, just with a significantly faster mode unlocked. The verdict after a full day of testing: it flies through tool calling. Noticeably faster, same price range. If you're already paying for DeepSeek through Hermes, this is a free upgrade sitting in your settings right now. Update Hermes, grab the DeepSeek API if you don't have it yet, and try V4 Pro on ultra. Bookmark this, you'll want to come back to it later.

WTF, THIS CHINESE FOUNDER RUNS HIS $10,000+ STARTUP'S ENTIRE WORKFLOW THROUGH HERMES AGENT ON FOUR MACHINES SIMULTANEOUSLY A studio founder just broke down why Hermes is different from every other AI tool right now: → Long-term memory. Most LLMs forget everything after the chat ends. Hermes remembers your work habits and gets sharper the more you use it. → Real execution, not suggestions. This is the core difference from Claude. Claude tells you what to do – you still do it. Hermes takes the instruction and finishes the task itself. → Scheduled tasks that just work. No complicated setup. Set the plan once, it runs on its own. This is what actual "hands-off" looks like. He's not running this on one machine. He's got FOUR laptops running Hermes simultaneously – each one handling a different part of his workflow at the same time. This is what it looks like when one person operates like a full team. He's dropping a full workflow build tutorial next – built for founders and operators trying to lighten their workload. Bookmark this, you'll want to come back to it later.

My Hermes Install Step by Step: 1. Install Ubuntu Linux on a machine – Once installed make sure you have the latest updates 2. Install both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browser and log in to your accounts to synch bookmarks/favorites 3. Set up an Ollama account at – I have the annual Pro Plan (if I can ever come up with the funds I will probably spring for the Max plan but Pro is simply awesome) 4. Install Ollama and then run “ollama run glm-5.1:cloud” – It will then have you authenticate to your account and add your machine 5. Install Hermes (watch my video for explanation around this as you may get interrupted during install) 6. Once Hermes is installed you will be prompted to configure. I chose the default quick configure. For model provider select Ollama, provide your Ollama API key, then for model choose desired model. At this point in time I recommend glm-5.1 7. Download Obsidian as your Hermes second brain, set up a vault then tell Hermes to integrate it and provide Hermes the vault location 8. Start building and have fun!

how to set up hermes agent step by step. built-in memory, 40+ tools, works on your phone, and what to think of hermes vs openclaw: 1. hermes is a personal AI agent that runs in your terminal. think of it like open claw but with built-in memory, 40+ tools out of the box, and 90% cheaper token costs. you install it with one command. 2. the 3 problems with open claw that hermes solves: no memory (you keep repeating yourself), constant gateway restarts, and zero visibility into what you're spending on tokens. 3. hermes remembers everything. every completed task gets saved to memory. it searches through past logs to find solutions. over time it literally gets smarter at your specific workflows. 4. connect it to open router. you see exact costs per model per task. free models rotate weekly. one founder went from $130 every five days on open claw to $10 on hermes. same output. 5. it comes preloaded with skills. apple notes, imessage, find my, browser, web search, image generation, cron jobs. no hunting for plugins. 6. connect it to obsidian so it reads your entire vault. connect it to gstack for your dev environment. create custom skills for your specific workflows. 7. the biggest money saver: have it write code once for recurring tasks. then it runs without burning tokens every time. stop paying an LLM to do the same scrape or report daily. 8. run it on android via telegram. name your agents. talk to them like coworkers. in this episode imran shows you how to set this up. 9. you can run it bare metal, in docker, or serverless on modal. pick your risk level. i begged imran to come on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 and walk through the full installation live. he made it impossibly clear. if you've heard of Hermes Agent and want the clearest explanation of how to get set up like a pro let me know what you want me to cover on the next ep this is the best personal agent setup video on the internet right now. watch

Meet Hermes3D A live 3D command center for Hermes Agents Some of you might remember Claw3D It went viral, but it was built around OpenClaw. After moving all my workflows to Hermes, continuing to build it no longer made sense So I rebuilt the entire idea for Hermes Hermes Bot Mode already gives every agent its own role, model, memory, skills, tools, and personality. Hermes3D gives that team an office See which agents are working See who is blocked Inspect their tasks Open the Kanban board Walk up and talk to them And when agents communicate, delegate work, or hand tasks to each other, you will be able to watch it happen inside the office in real time Your AI team should not feel like ten invisible processes hiding inside terminal tabs. It should feel like a workplace you can actually see and control. Claw3D was the prototype Hermes3D is the real vision And of course, it is Open Source Demo below. Repo link in the first comment

HERMES AGENT SHIPS WITH A BUNDLED SKILL FOR ANDREJ KARPATHY'S LLM WIKI PATTERN. A SELF-IMPROVING KNOWLEDGE BASE THAT GROWS EVERY TIME YOU FEED IT. mentioned this briefly in the overnight workflow article. here is the full breakdown. what it is: a self-improving knowledge base built as interlinked markdown files. unlike RAG (which rediscovers knowledge from scratch every query), the wiki compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. cross-references stay linked. contradictions get flagged automatically. synthesis reflects everything ingested so far. why this matters for Hermes memory: Hermes built-in memory knows YOU. it remembers your conversations, your preferences, your business context across sessions. but it doesn't know your inbox. or your meeting transcripts. or that article you saved last week. or the expert framework you want it to learn. the LLM Wiki solves that. THE DIVISION OF LABOR human curates sources and directs analysis. agent summarizes, cross-references, files, and maintains consistency. you drop in articles, transcripts, notes. Hermes indexes them, links related concepts, flags contradictions, updates affected pages. your knowledge base grows itself. SETUP IS ONE COMMAND the skill ships with Hermes. enable it. set WIKI_PATH in ~/.hermes/.env: WIKI_PATH=/Users/you/wiki defaults to ~/wiki if unset. then drop anything into it: "index this article into my wiki: [paste URL or text]" Hermes reads it, builds a source page, updates related entries, flags contradictions. THE OBSIDIAN ANGLE set OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH to the same directory. now your wiki is visible in Obsidian's graph view. nodes, links, backlinks. all built by Hermes. for headless servers: install obsidian-headless. syncs vaults without a GUI. agent writes from the server, you read on your laptop. THE COMPOUND EFFECT Hermes knows you. the wiki knows your world. combine them and the agent answers questions using BOTH contexts at once. month 1: you explain things twice. month 3: the agent references the wiki on its own. answers get sharper because the knowledge base got sharper. AUTOMATIONS THAT FEED THE WIKI set cron jobs to ingest automatically: "every day at 9am, check Granola for new meetings. add any new transcripts to my wiki under meeting notes." "every morning, scan my Gmail starred items. add anything worth keeping to the wiki." "every week, check arXiv for new papers in [your niche]. summarize and file." your wiki grows while you sleep. Hermes never forgets what gets indexed. THE LIMITATION TO KNOW unlike Hermes memory (which is conversational and lives across sessions), the wiki is a separate knowledge layer. Hermes won't pull from the wiki automatically unless you reference it or save it as a skill. best setup: build an LLM Wiki personality that tells Hermes to consult the wiki when answering strategy questions or domain-specific queries. full HERMES AGENT OVERNIGHT WORKFLOW👇

Hermes Agent just made API keys feel outdated. And the feature nobody is watching might be the biggest shift. The Big Upgrade: → Run `hermes proxy` → Create a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint → Connect tools like Aider, Continue, and Codex CLI → Use Claude Pro, ChatGPT Pro, or SuperGrok through your existing subscriptions Why This Matters: ✓ One setup instead of separate API keys ✓ Your AI subscriptions become real developer infrastructure ✓ Coding tools can route through Hermes instead of separate accounts ✓ Setup takes around 30 seconds once Hermes is installed The Wild Part: → Grok now supports a 1M token context window inside Hermes → You can load huge codebases, long research docs, or multi-hour sessions → The model can connect details across files instead of forgetting half the workflow And It Gets Better: ✓ GPT, Gemini, and Grok Vision can now use computer control ✓ Models get real image pixels instead of text summaries ✓ Browser automation is now 180x faster with persistent Chrome connections Hermes went from “cool open-source agent” to a real command center for AI workflows. The practical lesson: Stop thinking of AI subscriptions as chat apps. Start thinking of them as infrastructure.

I just built my second brain with Hermes Agent. It remembers people, companies, projects, and decisions. It pulls from meeting notes, docs, anything I feed it, and cites the source every time. It's this repo called Gbrain, open-sourced by Y Combinator president Garry Tan. install it by pasting this into Hermes: "Install Gbrain following the instructions at Set up the embedding provider, then run gbrain init and gbrain doctor to verify." Add the MCP server so Hermes can call it directly: "Add the Gbrain MCP server and reload." The graph builds itself. Pattern matching on the people and companies already in your notes. 31 points more precise than plain vector search, by their own benchmark.

I just built my second brain with Hermes Agent. It remembers people, companies, projects, and decisions. It pulls from meeting notes, docs, anything I feed it, and cites the source every time. It's this repo called Gbrain, open-sourced by Y Combinator president Garry Tan. install it by pasting this into Hermes: "Install Gbrain following the instructions at Set up the embedding provider, then run gbrain init and gbrain doctor to verify." Add the MCP server so Hermes can call it directly: "Add the Gbrain MCP server and reload." The graph builds itself. Pattern matching on the people and companies already in your notes. 31 points more precise than plain vector search, by their own benchmark. The data from the video is made up so I could show you how it works. Hermes' memory remembers our conversations. Gbrain remembers my world. Open source. Runs local, no server, no Docker.

Finally, a proper chat UI for Hermes Agent (open-source)! Hermes ships an official dashboard, but it's primarily built for management, and its chat is just a terminal piped into a browser tab. Hermes Web UI is an open-source chat-first alternative. It's self-hosted and points at your existing ~/.hermes state, so there's nothing new to configure. - It's a native web chat, not a terminal in a tab - Sessions group by date with a context ring - Kanban renders the agent's task board - Spaces manages your workspaces - Skills panel lists the full catalog - Tasks panel shows cron jobs - Insights show usage and activity - Memory shows MEMORY and SOUL files - Logs tails the agent, gateway, and error logs The whole setup runs 100% locally, binds to localhost by default, and you reach it over an SSH tunnel or Tailscale from your phone. I have shared the Hermes Web UI GitHub repo in the replies. Do note that it's a community project, not official, so expect occasional rough edges (concurrent profile runs are blocked for now). To dive deeper into Hermes Agent, my co-founder wrote a full masterclass about it, covering the learning loop, the memory tiers, self-evolving skills, GEPA, and running multiple isolated agents. Read it below.

HERMES AGENT TURNS EXPENSE TRACKING INTO ZERO FRICTION. No Siri Shortcuts. No manual entry. Just open Telegram and say: “Hey Bob, I spent $15 on dinner at Guzman Y Gomez.” Done. Hermes profile “Bob” automatically: - Parses the message - Categorizes the expense - Writes directly to your Notion database - Asks clarifying questions when needed (e.g. “Summit” — clothing brand or location?) This is the real advantage of Hermes profiles. You create specialist agents with their own memory, tools, and instructions instead of talking to one generic assistant. Quick setup: 1. Create the profile `hermes profile create bob` 2. Connect Telegram `hermes gateway setup` 3. Equip Bob with tools Enable the Notion integration + required MCP servers so he can write to your database. 4. Define the rules Set categories, formatting and clarification logic in his system prompt or SOUL. md .HERMES AGENT TURNS EXPENSE TRACKING INTO ZERO FRICTION. No Siri Shortcuts. No manual entry.

HERMES AGENT WITHOUT TOOLS IS A CHATBOT. WITH THEM IT BUILDS 3D TOWERS IN BLENDER, CHECKS STOCK PRICES, AND DRIVES VS CODE. tonbi JUST DROPPED THE FULL GUIDE. module 6 of his 10-part Hermes masterclass. best breakdown of the tool layer anyone has published. what you need to know: TOOLS vs SKILLS vs MCP skills = instructions (markdown, loaded into context) tools = callable functions (Python, agent emits call, Hermes executes) MCP = adapters to external systems (Blender, Stripe, Linear, Notion) every tool has three parts: → the function (does the real work) → the schema (what the model sees to decide when to call it) → the registry (makes the tool exist in the agent) the model never runs the function directly. it emits a structured request (tool name + JSON args). Hermes executes and returns the result. if the tool fails, the error goes back as JSON. the agent recovers instead of crashing. TOOL SETS CONTROL THE SURFACE hermes chat --tool-sets web # only web tools loaded. no files, no terminal. hermes chat --tool-sets safe # read-only: web search, vision, image gen. # no file writes. no terminal. no code execution. mid-session: /tools enable video /tools disable terminal or toggle in the dashboard: hermes dashboard → Skills → Tool Sets MCP SERVERS two transport types: STDIO (local subprocess) or HTTP (remote endpoint). add a server: hermes mcp # or ask: "add the MCP server for Blender" filter tools with include/exclude per server. keep only what you trust. security: → OAuth 2.1 PKCE (no long-lived tokens in config) → package scanning via api.osv. dev before launch → all MCP calls go through approval gates HERMES AS MCP SERVER hermes mcp serve exposes 10 tools via FastMCP. connect VS Code Copilot or Cursor to your running Hermes instance.

HERMES AGENT + OBSIDIAN IS A COMBINATION NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. Hermes ships with a bundled Obsidian skill. read, search, and create notes in your vault out of the box. why this combination is powerful: Hermes built-in memory is capped. MEMORY.md: 2,200 chars (~800 tokens). USER.md: 1,375 chars (~500 tokens). Obsidian vault has no cap. your agent writes research, session summaries, project context, and learned patterns as linked markdown notes. unlimited depth. the agent creates indexed notes by design. timestamps, backlinks, tags. every note connects to the knowledge graph. three ways to integrate: 1. BUNDLED OBSIDIAN SKILL (simplest) ships with Hermes. reads, searches, creates notes in your vault directly. hermes skills list | grep obsidian 2. OBSIDIAN MCP SERVER (deepest) 30+ tools: full-text search, tag lookup, note management, vault analysis, link analysis, orphan detection. add it via: hermes mcp 3. TELEGRAM + CRON → VAULT (always-on) set a cron job that writes daily summaries, research findings, or task reports directly into your Obsidian vault. your agent feeds the vault while you sleep. you review in Obsidian when you're ready. the unlock: Hermes memory handles what the agent needs to know per session (capped, injected). Obsidian handles everything the agent has ever learned (uncapped, searchable). short-term in Hermes. long-term in Obsidian. both accessible. both persistent. keep the vault scope narrow at first. start with one /Hermes folder. expand once you trust the workflow. 8 Loops Indise Hermes Agent👇
