Hermes Agent v2.0: WebUI and computer use setup

This update overview covers Hermes Agent v2.0, an open source AI agent from Nous Research under the MIT license. The presenter describes a persistent system that runs on your own infrastructure, retains long-term memory and builds reusable skills.

The computer use feature is an early preview limited to macOS in this account. The speaker says it can click, type and scroll in background apps without moving the user's cursor or changing keyboard focus. Windows and Linux support are described as planned. Model options include hosted services and local models through vLLM, with vision support identified as a requirement.

The setup walkthrough updates Hermes, uses the Kanban initialization command from its documentation, then starts the dashboard to open the WebUI. The board tracks tasks and coordinates multiple agents. The presenter describes /goal as a mode that plans, executes, reviews and retries work toward a longer objective.

Browser coverage includes Lightpanda as a configurable default backend with automatic Chrome fallback. The speaker also reports that Qwen3.6-Plus is temporarily free through Nous Portal and has a one-million-token context window. That offer concerns portal access rather than a demonstration of running Qwen locally. A separate sponsored segment introduces TinyFish's hosted search, fetch and browser APIs.
