## What is Hermes HQ?

Hermes HQ puts the Hermes agent you run on your own computer in your pocket.

Hermes is open-source agent software that runs on a computer you control. Hermes HQ connects your iPhone to it, so you can talk to your bots, follow their work and step in when they need you, wherever you are.

CHAT WITH YOUR BOTS
• Message any bot, pick up any conversation, and switch between several gateways.
• Send photos, files and links, or record a voice memo and watch your words appear as you speak.
• Pick the model, how hard it thinks, and how much it may do on its own, right from the message bar.
• Share to a bot from any app with the Share button.
• Answers come formatted: code, tables, pictures, files you can open and pages you can preview.

JUST TALK
• Have a live voice conversation with a bot, hands free.
• Say "Record a voice note in Hermes HQ" to Siri, or put it on the Action button.

STAY IN THE LOOP
• Get notified when a reply is ready.
• Approve or deny what a bot wants to run, right from the notification.
• Follow a long job step by step on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
• Notifications are encrypted on your computer and opened only on your iPhone.

SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING
• Watch the steps behind every answer, and steer a bot while it works.
• Check scheduled jobs, the task board and everything your bots have made.
• Watch a bot's browser live and take over when it needs you to sign in.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Give each bot a face, organize chats into projects, and pin what matters.
• Themes, app icons and a compact desktop look.
• Let bots use what you choose on your iPhone, such as Health, Calendar, Reminders, Contacts or Location. Each is off until you turn it on, and the app tells you where the data goes before you do.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your chats, files and device data go between your iPhone and your own computer. We run no server that sees them.
• No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
• Your sign-in is kept in the iPhone's Keychain; your password is never stored.

WHAT YOU NEED
Hermes running on a computer you control (a Mac, Linux or a server). The app walks you through connecting: let Hermes set itself up, run one command on that computer, or enter an address you already have. Setup help: gethermeshq.com/support
