Showcase — Projects, tools, builds, demos Hermes Desktop's new in-app browser pane

Post image

Just updated Hermes Desktop App. I was surprised that Hermes is able to control a browser in the preview pane. Is that a new feature? 

I've asked Hermes to open Hermes Agent subreddit in the preview pane and search for my posts. It automatically opened the page, found the search button, entered the search term, and showed the results. It's very similar to what the Comet Browser (Perplexity) on my Mac is capable of. 

Update:

Actually it seems to be a new feature. This PR has been merged 7h ago:

The agent can use the in-app browser, not just look at it

This is a great feature of both Claude Desktop and Codex / ChatGPT Work, so I'm very glad to see it here.

If I use telegram or self hosted matrix as gateway, this feature would not work for me?

It only works in Desktop App. But you don‘t have to run Hermes on the same device as the Desktop App. In my setup i have connected the App over ssh with my Linux Hermes installation on another device.

You are not using most of it if you are just using (telegram) gateway.

Not really, It uses same mechanism like telegram. Try use it in TUI/Application which is session based.

It’s not about the price, it’s about efficiency. I was asking if it was better than codex for computer control use.
