What it does
Hermes Agent is an AI agent that lives on your own server, remembers what it learns, and can run scheduled jobs. Normally you use it in a terminal or through messaging apps.
Hermes Web UI gives it a browser-based app with a sidebar of past sessions, a chat area and a file browser. Its makers say it can do almost everything the terminal version can, and that it uses your existing Hermes setup and models.
It can be reached securely from other devices, including a phone.
Who it's for
