Hermes Bot Mode Transforms Profiles into Persistent, Collaborative Agent Teams
Teknium · x · 2026-08-19
Hermes has launched Bot Mode, allowing users to turn profiles into named, persistent teammates with independent roles, models, memory, skills, and routines.
Key Features & Setup:
- Native Integration: Available directly in Hermes Desktop without extra installation.
- Highly Configurable: Supports creating from scratch, cloning, pinning models/providers, custom SOUL.md, and selecting skills or MCP servers.
- Agent Orchestration: Users can build a specialized team for coding, research, triage, support, and ops, featuring bot-to-bot communication.
Perspective:
NousResearch views this as a shift from chatting with a single assistant to running a coordinated multi-agent team.
