The agentic rag, wrung out.

Independent site (HermesWatcher.com) with searchable plugin catalog, 200+ skills, 40+ guides, release explainers, and a 5-question planner that outputs an ordered setup path (where to run, how to talk to it, first job, cost priority, terminal comfort).
Lowers the barrier for new and intermediate users; turns scattered docs into a coherent onboarding path.

New Computer Use capability lets Hermes operate native desktop applications (menus, settings, dialogs) on macOS, Windows, and Linux while the user continues working. Cursor, keyboard focus, and Spaces stay with the user. Works with any tool-capable model, including local ones. Web and file work still route through existing tools.

Official release (Nov 5) delivers the full Desktop workspace as a browser Webapp, plugins that auto-update themselves, spend limits and price tags on paid MCP tools (even in YOLO mode), pluggable subagent delegation, and a catalog that grew past 1,050 entries with a new Verified tier. The Hermes Marketplace unifies plugins, skills, and 54+ hosted connectors (Slack, Notion, Linear, etc.) into one browsable storefront with one-click install.
