Computer Use: Hermes Drives Native Apps in the Background

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.

Why it matters

Practical parallel agent work on the same machine. Removes the need to hand over the desktop or switch contexts for UI-only tasks that lack APIs.
