@AlexFinn says this is the moment Hermes overtakes OpenClaw. S/o to Alex for walking me through it.

"It's now the best way to use AI agents on your computer"

I do think the desktop app of Hermes looks almost like an Apple product.

@gregisenberg sessions + profiles are the boring magic. once an agent can keep context, touch files/browser/tools, and not restart from goldfish mode every time, it gets way more useful.

@gregisenberg I've been delaying it till now, but seeing you talk about has pushed me to finally take the decision and give it a try and integrate it within my workflow.

Still seems kinda convoluted. Hoping to be convinced otherwise. The more I learn about these tools the more I learn how to make my own…which is where the real juice is IMO. More and more I feel like these solutions are drops in a river of paradigm and interactions design discovery.

@gregisenberg I have to figure out how to move my Hermes setup from my old Linux machine in my garage to my Mac mini. This is slick.
