AI Agents Just Got WAY Easier to Use (Hermes Desktop App)

Hermes just released its official desktop app, and it completely changes how you interact with AI agents. In this video, I give you a full tour of every major feature from session management and profile switching to Cron Jobs, Sub-Agents, and the built-in Skills & Tools center.

Whether you're a developer who wants deeper visibility into what your agent is doing, or someone who's been intimidated by the terminal-based workflow, the Hermes desktop app makes running powerful AI agents on your own machine significantly easier.

What's covered in this video:

- What Hermes Agent is and how it connects to Claude, GPT, Gemini, Ollama, and more
- How to download the official Hermes desktop app (avoid the unofficial ones)
- Session management and the left sidebar overview
- Profiles — how to create specialized agents for different workflows
- Skills & Tools — the capability center of your agent
- Messaging integrations (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp)
- Artifacts — centralized workspace for everything your agent creates
- Settings deep-dive: models, MCP, voice, gateways, API keys
- Cron Jobs — scheduling automated tasks on a recurring basis
- Sub-Agents — monitoring spawned agents tackling complex workflows in real time
