Great video Greg, sending to the team!
love it
Best business podcast in the game. Was a blast chatting Greg
❤️❤️❤️
sessions + profiles are the boring magic. once an agent can keep context, touch files/browser/tools, and not restart from goldfish mode every time, it gets way more useful.
yep, we chat more about that
yep, that context hygiene bit is the unlock. one giant thread turns into an expensive junk drawer fast.
the desktop is the client. perfect for building. the open question is the gateway behind it - who keeps the agent up at 3am when the desktop's closed. that's the line between a demo and an operation.

@AlexFinn Hermes Desktop is the ChatGPT moment for agents - bigger than OpenClaw. you just don’t know it yet.
Greg and Alex on a Hermes collab is absolutely insane! Thanks to both of you guys for the great video!
The practical win: Hermes makes agents feel less like a magic chatbot and more like a workflow you can inspect. For non-coders: 1. one recurring task 2. one profile for it 3. one output to review 4. a cost cap 5. a simple change log That turns AI into an operating habit.
My team switched to Hermes Desktop last month. We run 4 client accounts through it. The profile switching alone saves me hours a week. HOURS.
@AlexFinn I needed this. Glad u didn’t sell to OpenAI yet.
I've been delaying it till now, but seeing you talk about has pushed me to finally take the decision and give it a try and integrate it within my workflow.
The useful agent workflow is not the demo. It is the boring loop after it: context, cost, permissions, handoff, audit trail.
Hermes Desktop looks like a big step forward for agent usability but the real competition isn't Hermes vs OpenClaw vs QuickClaw, it's who can make powerful agents simple enough that normal people actually use them every day.

Running the same agent stack on the DTC ad side. We pull 1M+ Meta ads into Gethookd and an agent flags top hooks every morning. Most ecom teams still scroll ad library by hand in 2026. Wild.
The next wave of AI winners won't just have the smartest agents. They'll have the best product experience around those agents. Intelligence matters. But usability, workflow integration, and trust determine adoption.
There goes my weekend. Apparently I'm testing AI agents now.
Everyone is sleeping on the UI/UX of local AI agents. The raw power has been there, but if Hermes is actually bringing an Apple-level experience to desktop, that lowers the barrier to entry for non-dev founders by 10x. Watching this tonight.
The thing most people miss about Hermes: OpenClaw connects to everything. WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, 20+ platforms. It is an assistant that reaches you everywhere. Hermes does something different. It remembers everything. Every session builds on the last. The agent gets better the longer you use it. That is not a feature update. That is a completely different product category. The security gap makes it more interesting. OpenClaw disclosed nine vulnerabilities in March alone, one rated near-perfect severity. Hermes has zero publicly disclosed agent CVEs. When an AI has access to your files, your accounts, and your workflows, that gap is not a small detail. 110,000 GitHub stars in ten weeks. Fastest-growing agent framework of 2026. The desktop app dropping on June 2 is the moment self-improving AI agents became accessible to people who never touched a command line. Greg is right. Clear your Saturday.
Really happy to see @AlexFinn as a guest
appreciate this guys
Hermes sessions and artifacts are the two pieces my pipeline keeps underusing. The cost savings angle has paid for the setup time twice over this month.
Good tutorials should show the operating loop, not just the feature list. Sessions, profiles, artifacts, and cost controls are what turn agents from demos into repeatable workflows.
Funny how Greg introduced me to @AlexFinn and now i watch Alex WAYY more

>"Never have to go into your terminal again" If someone doesn't want to even paste a command into a terminal, they are not ready to use autonomous agents. They can get Hermes to handhold them, step by step. But this learned helplessness should not be enabled. It's dangerous
The best AI agent on your computer is useless if your idea is "Uber but for X." Agents got 10x better. Most people's ideas didn't. Fix the input, not the tool.
Your energy is contagious
I have to figure out how to move my Hermes setup from my old Linux machine in my garage to my Mac mini. This is slick.
Desktop agents like Hermes are finally making AI feel native. What I’ve seen shipping three production SaaS apps is the real differentiator isn’t just faster prototyping, it’s using them to lock in proper architecture (Supabase realtime guards, RBAC, webhook retries) before you ever hit 50 users and the vibe coding hangover kicks in.
so good
@Teknium One thing I hope they add to the app soon if Kanban. Alex talked about one agent spinning up doing a task and handing it off, that’s what Kanban is for.
Too good. Saturday watch party in London.
In the example where Alex uses his Qwen model to scan Reddit every 20 minutes (he says Opus would be very expensive), why could you not do this with the Claude Code subscription? Trying to understand why Hermes in this use case is superior to a Claude Code scheduled cron.
Don't lose your credibility by quoting ai hype grifters. Was expecting more from you, very disapointing.
