Bots
Your Hermes agents in the sidebar, one row per profile.
Bots switches the sidebar to your Hermes agents, one row per Hermes profile, with a new session one click away.
Bots start off. Turn them on in Settings > Extensions > Store, under Planning and automation. The card only appears on a computer where the Hermes CLI (hermes) is installed.
Use it
- Switch lists: the Hermes button (in the Space row, or the sidebar’s top row when Spaces are off) shows your bots. While they’re showing, it turns into a back arrow that returns to your projects.
- One row per profile: the default profile shows as Hermes, and every folder in
~/.hermes/profilesunder its own name. A dot shows whether the bot’s gateway is running (green) or stopped (grey). - New session: the row’s + starts a session with that bot, in chat or terminal. Its sessions sit under it and take the usual session menu.
- Edit SOUL and Edit config open that bot’s
SOUL.mdandconfig.yamlin the Code view.
Hermes conversations you started elsewhere, like in a terminal, Discord or Telegram, are listed under their bot in Quick Access > Sessions.
Bot automations
Bot automations is a second switch in the Store, available while Bots is on. It adds an Automations row at the top of the Bots sidebar with a read-only feed of every Hermes cron run: one #channel per job, plus #all. Group channels with + New group, and right-click a channel to move it into a group. The feed needs the desktop app.
