Wanted to try Hermes but got stuck at “add your API key”? 👀
@witcheer shared the new Hermes Desktop onboarding: on a new computer, it starts with a free trial model so you can begin chatting and explore without an API key.
Start with one useful job you can check:
“Turn these meeting notes into a checklist. Include owners and deadlines where stated. Flag anything missing.”
Compare the result with your notes:
- Did it capture every action?
- Did it invent an owner or deadline?
- What would you need to correct?
Already have Hermes installed? You can revisit onboarding here:
Settings → Advanced → Desktop & startup → Run onboarding again
The free trial is a starting point; check its limits before relying on it for ongoing work.
