The next evolution of Hermes Agent is here!
Introducing Hermes Desktop: everything you love about Hermes, now native on your machine.
First demoed in Jensen's GTC keynote, it's now in public preview.
I found this last night and I have not stopped thinking about it.
HERMES JUST LAUNCHED HERMES DESKTOP. 100% FREE.
It is a free desktop app that gives Hermes Agent a proper interface. One place for everything.
What is inside:
�� Auto install and setup, no terminal needed
↳ Streaming chat with token tracking
↳ Multiple agent profiles
↳ Memory you can actually see and edit
↳ 14 tool categories including web, browser, image gen, and voice
↳ Scheduler for automated tasks
↳ 16 messaging gateways including Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, and Signal
↳ Full conversation history with search
↳ Backups and logs in one settings screen
Works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, Groq, Ollama, and more.
Hermes Agent is the brain. Hermes Desktop is the cockpit.
Free. Open source. Mac, Windows, and Linux.
🚨BREAKING: OpenAI's Codex is now completely FREE to run locally with Ollama.
No API costs. No rate limits. 100% private on your machine.
You can now use both the Codex App and Codex CLI with powerful open-source models like DeepSeek V4, Gemma 4, and Qwen 3.6.
Here's how to set it up in minutes:
Hermes Agent now has access to hundreds of browser skills through @browserbase’s new https://t.co/SZ93w9Z0mk hub, so agents can more reliably perform any task on the internet. You can try a skill from their catalog or contribute your own.
AI agents are evolving beyond simple chat interfaces. 🚀
Hermes Agent is a great example of the new generation of local-first AI tools combining:
⚡ CLI workflows
🌐 Web dashboards
🔗 Gateway services
🧠 Local AI models
🔄 Automation pipelines
I created a visual CLI cheat sheet
