Hermes Agent Desktop is a cross-platform desktop client (Windows 11, macOS, and Linux) that provides a graphical interface for running an autonomous AI agent on a local machine. It connects to multiple model providers, including Claude, Grok, and Gemini, and supports local models via Ollama, letting a user configure providers and API keys and then chat with or delegate tasks to the agent from the desktop.
Beyond basic chat, the interface exposes several workspace areas shown in the app: profiles and personas, model and provider configuration, tools and skills, a scheduling view, a Kanban board, an office/documents area, a gateway, and settings. Its stated purpose is desktop automation and task execution, and the project describes itself as intended for educational and personal use, noting that some features require provider API keys.
Note that the repository's README is largely composed of SEO keyword phrases and screenshots rather than technical documentation, so details of how the agent executes tasks are not described in the available material.
