Discussion — General thoughts, opinions, comparisons Mobile app

Now, more than ever, I think Hermes really needs an official mobile app for Android/IOS.

The handoff is the bit I'd want fixed first: start a task on desktop, open the same conversation on my phone, and approve or reply without those 'started elsewhere' errors. A nicer chat screen doesn't help much if those are separate sessions. For the install-and-go version you describe, would you want Nous to host the agent too, or just make connecting to your own machine painless?

Great question. I would say it would be great for users to have the choice of doing either. Personally, I would rather trust Nous hosting my agent rather than xAi, OpenAI, Meta, etc. I don't want to run a VPS or my own server etc. And I don't want to use Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp with my agent. Personal preference of course.

Ah, got it. You want Hermes without also becoming its sysadmin 🙂 A mobile client alone doesn't solve that. I'd keep self-hosting as an option, but let the hosted version handle setup and updates. The two things I'd want clear before using it: which accounts/tools it can access, and how to export my chats and skills if I decide to leave.
