Original caption

Testing Hermes Desktop, the native desktop app for Hermes Agent from Nous Research. This first-look clip covers the full setup/evaluation arc: what Hermes Desktop promises, how it compares to OpenClaw-style agent desktops, how the provider setup works, whether voice dictation and text-to-speech are usable, and whether the memory/context settings are strong enough for daily AI agent work. I also share my recommended setup path: configure your main agent/provider first, check voice settings, then tune profiles, skills, and memory for your workflow.

it is making me switch. This is going to be my daily driver. I think I'm going to try to offload as much of the human in the loop as possible for all of the stuff that I want to do and have agents working 24/7 towards goals that I set. That is my goal for the foreseeable future and I think Hermes agent is going to be what takes us there. I might even install it on a new laptop completely. Dude, out of the box, by default, it seems like he uses your cloud code API or subscription. I think the Codex plans or the best value for intelligence at the moment as of 10th of June 2026. But yeah, and also we have a local speech to text. I think that's what I've tested. The voice conversation does not work, right? Okay. It works now. It should work.
