Exciting news!
I'm thrilled to annouce the establishment of a new meta class in my public primary school that I'll be using to teach mathematics, science, physics and English from now on!
Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
Let's keep learning and innovating!๐
How to actually make Hermes open YouTube (or any page) in the desktop app's own browser tab
The 3-minute setup nobody posts. SAVE THIS ๐
"browser tab built into Hermes" is a preview pane the agent opens with a tool called open_preview.
It works out of the box only if the desktop app's backend was started with one env variable:
โ HERMES_DESKTOP=1
If it's missing, the agent silently can't use the tool. No error. It just doesn't work. That's why you copy their prompt and nothing pops up.
1. Set the variable
echo 'HERMES_DESKTOP=1' >> ~/.hermes/.env
or simplify tell your agent sth like : (can u set HERMES_DESKTOP=1 in the backend ?)
2. Restart everything โ the gateway, the dashboard, and the desktop app.
Editing .env does nothing until the processes restart. They keep the environment they were born with.
3. Ask the agent:
"Open YouTube in the browser"
The preview pane pops up inside the app, beside your chat. Done.
Most people try to fix a forgetful agent by buying a memory product.
A 2,176-task benchmark ranked a plain markdown wiki above eight memory products, score 98.5. Not because markdown is magic. Because the agent writes what it learns into files it can always read back.
The idea in one line: raw notes go in, the agent turns them into a small wiki, the next session starts from the wiki instead of from zero. You almost never hand-edit it. The agent owns the map.
The simplest Hermes-ready layout:
memory/
index.md
notes/
decisions.md
index.md is the map. notes/ is one dated file per topic. decisions.md is choices and why โ append only.
------------------
After any real task, paste this:
"Write the durable facts you learned this session into memory/notes/ as one dated file, then update index.md with any new topics and the date you last touched them."
------------------
What you get: cheaper context, no sync lag, a folder you can open in any editor.
Catch: a wiki the agent stops curating is just stale files. The ranking is one benchmark โ treat it as a pattern to try, not a product review.
Save this if you have been shopping for memory and already have a folder.
A PR should wake Hermes. Not your habit of pasting GitHub links into chat.
~OLD WAY
You see a PR. You copy the URL. You paste it into Hermes. If you are offline, asleep, or busy, the PR waits on you. You are still the bus.
~NEW WAY (Hermes inbound webhooks)
GitHub sends the event the moment the PR opens or updates. Hermes receives a signed POST, runs your review skill, and can comment back. Automatic. Immediate. You are not in the loop unless you want to be.
~ How to turn it on in plain steps:
1. Enable the adapter
WEBHOOK_ENABLED=true
WEBHOOK_PORT=8644
WEBHOOK_SECRET=long-r...cret
2. Add one named route (github-pr) that listens for pull_request, runs github-code-review, and delivers github_comment. Full YAML is in the Hermes webhooks docs โ start from the github-pr example.
3. Point GitHub at:
http://YOUR-SERVER:8644/webhooks/github-pr
4. Prove it is alive:
curl http://localhost:8644/health
You want: {"status":"ok","platform":"webhook"}
Prefer not to hand-edit YAML?
> Run hermes config edit and add the route there.
One rule that keeps you safe: HMAC proves the request is real. The payload is still untrusted โ keep the skill narrow. Do not leave INSECURE_NO_AUTH on outside a local test.
That is the upgrade: from "I paste links when I remember" to "the PR event starts the agent."
