Teknium · x · 2026-10-07
Teknium clarified that Hermes was never meant to be a simple personal assistant that reads emails — the goal is the most powerful, customizable, and sovereign AI agent for scientists, security engineers, developers, and knowledge workers; the consumer mobile app is just one entry point.
User KSimback agreed after trying most agent platforms, calling Hermes the most capable option for those who want maximum capability and sovereignty.
