Tips and usage for hermes-agent.nousresearch.com

Hermes Agent added Tool Search. It lets the agent load extra MCP and plugin tools only when needed, instead of carrying every tool description from the start. This can make work smoother when you use many connected tools.
Android users can easily organize their Hermes Agent chats by moving and sorting topics. iPhone users have fewer options, which makes managing many different conversations harder.
Hermes Agent now offers an Oracle Agent mode, multi-AI swarms, and a voice Jarvis feature. You can link Claude, Gemini, and Obsidian into one coordinated workflow. The key warning across posts: avoid the automate-everything trap and the setup-without-using trap.
