The agentic rag, wrung out.
The rag for
Hermes ElevenLabs SFX Plugin
The official ElevenLabs sound-effects plugin is the clearest high-signal drop. It ships with an immediate install path, Desktop gallery, cost transparency, and a working demo video. Combined with the existing Meshy 3D plugin, it meaningfully expands Hermes from text/code agent into a practical multimedia studio for builders. Engagement and visual quality make it the item most likely to drive community action today. The OpenClaw security patch is important operationally, but the plugin is the story people will actually try and talk about.
Official ElevenLabs Sound Effects plugin for Hermes Agent. Adds a tool to generate 0.5–30s audio from text prompts (optionally seamless loops). Desktop app gets a sound gallery with playback, looping, cost tracking, and one-click variations. Continues Game Dev Studio capabilities alongside Meshy 3D.
Patch release fixing install/update blockers, stuck chats, missing replies, and channel issues. Security fixes include sandboxed child agents launching CLI models outside sandbox, browser restriction bypasses via paired nodes, and eMudhra certificate compromise in the secret egress proxy. Restart Gateway to apply.
New official ElevenLabs plugin lets Hermes design the prompt, pick duration, and generate sound effects (or voices) on request. Example demos: cat vs mug, sad trombone, Monday alarm.
Hermes has a native wake-word listener (“hey hermes”). Runs locally until activated, then opens a fresh chat and can speak the answer via Desktop TTS. Phrase is customizable. No plugin required.
Official plugin that lets an orchestrator route subagents to different models or Hermes profiles (fast/cheap, deep/strong, local, etc.) based on task type.
Community open-source macOS app that reads OBD-II data from a Bluetooth adapter, logs drives, and feeds summaries to Hermes for live commentary. Read-only by design.
User reported OpenBot ignored a “cannot be reversed” warning and user rule files after they had already declined the setting. After 30 minutes of testing they switched back to Hermes. Teknium welcomed them.
Community tool that adds a visual disk map inside Hermes Desktop, showing Git details and a keep/trash review for agent-generated files.
Built-in MEMORY.md / USER.md stay always on. `hermes memory setup` walks through external providers (Mem0, Honcho, Hindsight, etc.) for semantic search, knowledge graphs, and automatic fact extraction. One external provider at a time.
Latest stable (2026.10.7, ~Oct 24) focuses on replay-safe session recovery: interrupted sessions keep recovery provenance and unfinished tool outcomes, stopped conversations clean terminal residue, and various Codex/Claude CLI edge cases are tightened. Also safer update activation and database/worker continuity.
tonbi released `mcp-plugin-creator`. Install it, point Hermes at an MCP server, and it probes the server + your session history to generate a proper Hermes plugin (config + skill with lessons and gotchas). Demo includes Unreal Engine MCP.
BearHuddleston’s PR is merged. `hermes webapp` serves the real Hermes Desktop (chat, files, Git, persistent terminal, remote sign-in) from your own host into any browser. Not a limited web UI — the full command center.
Teknium announced GPT-6.1 Terra is now available in Hermes Agent via Nous Portal and OpenRouter. OpenAI positions Terra as fast, capable computer-use model at lower cost.
