Hermes Agent Adds Local Parsing for All Document Formats
Teknium · x · 2026-08-07
@Teknium shared an update on Hermes Agent: the agent can now natively read a wide variety of document formats—including PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and EPUBs—and automatically convert them into clean Markdown locally.
Powered by @firecrawldev's newly open-sourced Rust library anydoc, the feature requires zero setup and auto-installs on first use, greatly streamlining AI workflows that handle diverse file types.
