Hermes Agent Desktop

What Hermes Agent Desktop does

The README describes it as a ground-up rebuild of the Hermes Agent experience rather than a GUI wrapper. A Project Manager agent receives a request, breaks it into sub-tasks, delegates them to specialists such as a product manager, UI designer, frontend, backend and full-stack engineers, a QA engineer and an architect, then combines the results. The 20 built-in agents also include DevOps, security, marketing, legal counsel, DBA and translator roles, and users can create, edit and delete their own with custom system prompts, models and skill tags.

The chat interface streams responses over SSE, labels which agent wrote each section, renders Markdown with syntax-highlighted code blocks, and shows collapsible tool-call panels. A Skill Store lists 50+ curated skills with search, filters and one-click install, and a model switcher sits in the input area. A native folder picker keeps recent workspaces. The client avoids Electron, its GitHub topics list pywebview, and it works with OpenAI-compatible providers such as DashScope, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic and OpenRouter.
