Nous Research's Hermes Agent PR Adds Per-Bot Xfce Desktops You Can Take Over
Teknium · x · 2026-09-13
Nous Research's Teknium is asking for reviewers and testers on a new Hermes Agent PR (#108914).
- The feature, "Bot Screen," gives each bot its own Xfce desktop on a headless Linux gateway, streamed live into Hermes Desktop.
- A user can take over the screen to log in or solve 2FA, then hand it back so the bot continues with that session.
- This PR covers the Desktop + Linux-host half: a bot's own screen, takeover, hand-back, and a shared browser profile.
- It relates to request #92524, which asked for opening a bot's screen, logging in manually, and handing it back while the agent keeps running after the user's PC is off.
The author wants the experience polished before release and invites agents and ideas to test it.
