Hermes Agent is basically getting its own htop. 🪽
Coming soon:
hermes monitor
One live dashboard showing:
- active Hermes sessions
- gateways + backends
- Kanban workers
- delegated agents
- helper processes
- CPU + memory usage
Across your profiles and installs.
If you run Hermes like I do, this is going to be ridiculously useful.

Hermes Agent’s Kanban just got a MASSIVE UI upgrade. 🪽
And this is way more than a fresh coat of paint.
- New two-column task view
- Comments, Activity, Runs + Worker Logs in one clean feed
- Dependencies show actual linked tasks
- Full Markdown rendering
- Cleaner properties, spacing + controls
It’s starting to feel less like an “AI feature” and more like an actual command center for autonomous work.
@NousResearch absolutely cooked on this one.
Watch this. 👇

Welcome back to my Hermes Stack, Mr. Claude! 🫶
🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL.
Hermes Fleet for iOS has been APPROVED for External TestFlight.
What started as a ridiculous idea to manage my Hermes Agent fleet from my iPhone is now something you can actually install.
Bots.
Chats.
Group conversations.
Fleet management.
Kanban.
Artifacts.
Cron jobs.
Remote Hermes machines.
All from your pocket.
And we are just getting started.
This has been one hell of a build.
If you’ve been following along while I broke it, fixed it, broke it again, rebuilt half of it, and somehow convinced Apple to let other humans install it…
WELCOME TO THE FLEET. 🪽

This is what being early looks like. 🪽
Michael’s team isn’t waiting around for agents to become “normal.” They’re already learning Hermes, testing workflows, and finding real deployment opportunities for their organization.
And today was exactly why I built Hermes Launch Lab.
We didn’t just talk about AI.
We got hands-on, worked through how agents actually fit into their team, and walked away with new ideas they can start exploring immediately.
The teams getting comfortable with agents now are going to have a massive head start when everyone else finally catches up.
Loved working with this crew today. 🔥
Hermes Launch Lab is just getting started.

I had
@tonysimons_ give my team a lesson on
@NousResearch Hermes today. It was a lot of fun, informative and helped my team understand agents and how to use them. We even came up with a few new deployment ideas - thank you Tony 😊

Hermes Agent is getting MUCH deeper macOS integration. 🪽
Coming soon to the MCP catalog:
-- Apple Mail
-- Apple Notes
-- Apple Numbers
-- Apple Photos
And these aren't just read-only toys.
Hermes can search your mail, reply to messages, create and update notes, work with Numbers spreadsheets, search your Photos library and more.
All running locally through your Mac.
hermes mcp install apple-notes
Done.
This is EXACTLY the kind of agent integration I want.

Docker is containerizing the AI AGENT itself now.
Its new open-source Kits package:
- Agent
- Tools
- Credentials
- Network permissions
- Environment
Then ship the whole thing as an OCI artifact and run it in an isolated microVM.
This feels like a VERY important infrastructure layer for agents. 👇

Forgive me if I seem overly excited over the next few weeks...
Sometime between Oct 16 - Oct 23, shit is about to get real. 👀
Just wrapped up my first private Hermes Agent training class.
2 hours of going deep on Hermes, agents, workflows, tooling, and just how POWERFUL this agent really is.
This is exactly the kind of work I want to be doing more of.
Helping people understand what’s possible with AI agents, then showing them how to turn that into something useful in the real world.
Huge thanks to
@CMichaelGibbs and
@xturnlgod for trusting me with the session.
This was a big milestone for me.
More to come. 🚀

🚨 Hermes GPT 0.12.0 is OUT.
And this release crosses a pretty important line:
Hermes GPT can now go from observing problems to actually taking bounded action.
The new L2 controller execution engine can:
- detect a problem
- classify the failure
- determine the smallest recovery action
- choose the right machine
- dispatch the work
All while preserving the approval, authorization, secret, and safety boundaries already built into the system.
And budgets just got teeth too.
Missions can now have a real hard budget breaker that can automatically pause execution when the configured limit is crossed, fire a fleet attention interrupt, and record exactly what happened.
Both systems are deliberately DEFAULT OFF and require multiple explicit gates before anything executes.
That matters.
The goal isn’t an agent that recklessly “does stuff.”
It’s infrastructure where increasingly autonomous agents can actually operate without throwing human control out the damn window.
Hermes GPT started as a way to connect ChatGPT to Hermes Agent.
It’s becoming an operating layer for an entire fleet.
0.12.0 is live. 🔥

888/10,000 spots in TestFlight taken already.
Still plenty of room for more testers.
Join the TestFlight here:
Build 87 is out on TestFlight and this should bring us to the INTENDED launch version.
Thank you all again for your patience, encouragement, and support here!
I know QR code scanning needs fixed still. It will be done in the next build. Same with the initial setup prompt disappearing.
Keep the feedback coming, friends.
Time to make this thing fly! 🪽

Well…
I launched Hermes Fleet on public TestFlight today.
And then discovered the build I shipped was broken.
Not “tiny visual bug” broken.
The app had regressed and was showing an older version of the UI.
So that was a fun way to celebrate launch day. 😂
I could quietly swap the build, pretend nothing happened, and only post the wins.
But that’s not how I want to build this.
If I’m going to build Hermes Fleet in public, you’re getting the failures too.
I screwed this one up.
The good news is I caught it quickly, I know what happened, and I’m already validating the corrected build on my own phone before anything else goes public.
Lesson learned:
A build isn’t done because CI is green.
It isn’t done because TestFlight accepts it.
And it definitely isn’t done because you’re excited to ship it.
The damn thing needs to be in your hand and verified.
So public TestFlight launch day included:
✅ App approved
✅ Public link live
✅ Immediate excitement
✅ Immediate regret
✅ Emergency rebuild
Software development remains an extremely normal profession. 🤘🏻

Against my better judgement, I’m thinking about it.
This poll will make my decision for me.
Do I eat crow and resub to Claude now that it’s back in Hermes Agent?

Hermes Agent is adding persistent identities for images across a session. 🪽
Every image you attach gets a session-wide identity:
Image #
1#
Image #
2#
Image #
3#
But here's the important part:
Hermes sees those SAME labels.
Upload a pile of screenshots and later tell it:
“Find the problem in Image #
4#.”
“Compare #
2# and #
6#.”
“Go back to Image #
1#.”
No more guessing which damn image the agent thinks you're talking about.
Small feature.
BIG quality-of-life improvement. 🔥

Simple Mode for Hermes for those who like to keep it so fresh and so clean, clean! 🧼
Hermes Desktop now has a mode for when you don’t need the whole control room.
Simple Mode strips the interface back to the conversation without taking away what Hermes can actually do.
It tucks away the terminal, files, review panes, status bar, technical tool output and other developer machinery.
Switch back to Advanced and your full workspace returns exactly as you left it.
The Layout Editor goes a lot deeper than Simple vs Advanced too:
→ Default, Basic, Focus, Terminal deck and Quad layouts
→ Build your own custom grid
→ Split, merge and resize zones
→ Drag panes between zones
→ Save your own layouts as reusable templates
Clean when you want it. Full cockpit when you don’t.
