Introducing Bot Mode for Hermes Desktop. Your agent profiles become a series of named Bots. Each Bot has its own role, model, memory, skills and profile picture; Bots can use any model and even communicate with each other. Build a specialist Bot once to use it forever.

I think I overworked my Hermes bot

He looks exhausted

Here's @tonbistudio's video on Bots Mode in Hermes Agent!

@tonbistudio Banger as usual

Download Hermes Desktop to get started:

I almost payed 300/month to have access to Grok Bots. a few hours later I'm running a Hermes bot on qwen3.8-27b for free

Free is more fun

Rough idea to fully integrated feature in a weekend is wild, can't wait to play with this more

I feel like this is a jumping the shark moment. Something we all tried and found to be lame in practice 6 months ago, SpcaeXAi comes out with and now everybody is pretending it's amazing... But what is new about it? The term "bot"?

You can continue to use good old Hermes if you don't want Bots

Insane how fast this feature was deployed. Beautifully done

⚡️

obligatory comment: when are you dropping a @Spotify album with these launch vid songs?

@Spotify Working on it!

@theaaron @Spotify +1

@NousResearch @Spotify give the people what they want @Teknium 🎶

Hermes bot is a dream coming true :)

🔥🔥🔥

the singularity is getting wild now

Any plans to come up with a phone app that let me manages everything via UI?

The Bots have landed 🙌🙌🙌🙌

🤖🤖🤖

But the issue is out laptop doesn’t stay awaken all the time. Is there any way to host it in my server and connect with desktop app and task, monitor bla bla from the local pc?

Yes, gateway settings

it's bottin' time!

This is lit. But how is it different from profiles?

We need a mobile app !!! 🙏🙏🙏

a bot built once deserves memory that stays portable across models and sessions

I don't understand how this is different from profiles. Isn't this how it works now? each profile has its own memory and skills etc and can be used for specific roles no? so what's different?

This looks good and I'm excited to play with it in the desktop. But part of what makes Grok Bot special is the seamlessness between using the desktop app and the mobile app. Many people want to use AI while not at the desk. Will you be working on a similar integration?

I just bought grok bot today. Could’ve been a few hours earlier

Sorry at least you will save $200 next month!

But a bot is an agent, isn’t it? This is a lame movement, because profile agents existed before the Grok bot announcement

It’s a more intuitive UX for some users, and it isn’t replacing anything so you do not have to use it

@pseudotrending I think this is the best take on it and how I described Grokbot to people. It basically gives access to AI "Normies" Who expects a more intuitive UI/UX experience out of the box. Extremely excited to see how this works for people!

@NousResearch I really love Hermes. I’ve been recommending it by months to my work partners. I love it because it’s an innovative project, sand naming “bots” as agents takes away originality and converts it into a copy of Grok

@launchremedora It’s an optional mode buddy

@Scobleizer What is the difference between bots and agents ?

Just got my main PC back from repairs after having the motherboard replaced, and now I can finally run Hermes on my main machine. 128GB RAM, RTX 4090 24GB, i9 CPU... Imagine the stuff I can test now 😈

Do you have a mobile app that support this feature?

I LOVE U GUYS OMG OMG OMG. SORRY FOR UNPROFESSIONAL CONFESSION OF LOVE. HERMES.

Hermes bot better than Grok bot 🚀

Can I have these bots be totally different Hermes Agents? 🤔

Looks like a solid step toward practical multi-agent setups. Being able to spin up specialist bots with their own memory, skills, and the ability to talk to each other (plus cron jobs) is exactly the kind of workflow a lot of people have been waiting for in a desktop agent. The PaperClip Manager example was a nice touch 😄 Excited to try Bot Mode once I download Hermes Desktop.

It would be great if we could organize bots by project or by any other semantic grouping that lets us cluster related bots together.

Please ship the iOS app, so we can do multiplayer clanking on the go.

You guys are awesome 🔥
