Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when Hermes Agent is already set up and a browser-based or phone-accessible interface is more convenient than terminal or messaging-app access.
Who it is for
- People already running Hermes Agent on a server
- Users who want browser or phone access to an agent available through a terminal or messaging apps
- Users who need visual session and workspace controls alongside agent chat
Documented uses
- Start using Hermes Agent through a browser interface
- Manage agent sessions, projects, and tags
- Chat with the existing agent while viewing workspace files
- Inspect workspace files through inline previews
- Access the agent from a phone browser or through remote server access
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and MIT-licensed. The documented setup uses an existing Hermes Agent installation and its models; no separate agent configuration is described for the web interface.
- It is an interface for Hermes Agent rather than a separately documented agent runtime.
- The documented implementation uses Python and vanilla JavaScript with no build step, framework, or bundler.
- The interface includes session navigation, central chat, workspace browsing, model and profile controls, and token-context visibility.
- The repository documents SSH tunnelling, remote and Tailscale access, phone use, Docker, and a Nix flake/module as access or deployment paths.
- The project is MIT-licensed and the GitHub repository is not archived.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
