Summary
Alex Finn takes an early look at the Hermes agent mobile app and explains where it fits among today’s AI agent tools. The video tours the app’s main screens: a list of all your agents, per-agent configuration, and a chat view that shows every tool call and command the agent runs on your computer.
Finn highlights several features he says set Hermes apart. Multiple sessions per agent let him capture separate ideas, such as a newsletter, a tweet or an app feature, without mixing them in one thread. Models can be switched on the fly across providers, including a new release like Fable 5.2. Skills, plugins, MCPs, projects, a Kanban board and a memory map can all be managed from the phone. The app connects to the Hermes desktop application and surfaces the agents running there.
He also covers his own setup, which pairs a main Hermes agent with a second agent running DeepSeek on two DGX Spark machines for unlimited local usage. Finn argues Hermes is the only option for plugging in local models and for managing local hardware, citing a case where he had it install his AI apps on a new MacBook Pro while he was away.
