The built-in management dashboard is also available for configuring settings, reviewing sessions, and monitoring the gateway. Use Hermes Agent to browse the web, edit files, run shell commands, connect services like Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, and Discord, save reusable skills, and remember important details across sessions.
