YOU STAY IN CHARGE • Approvals let an agent ask before it acts • Agents can reply with cards and forms, so choosing is one tap TASKS ON A SCHEDULE • Set up a morning brief, a weekly budget check-in or a fare watch • Pause or change a task anytime VOICE • Talk it through, turn by turn or live • Turn-based voice is transcribed on your device EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Notifications, Live Activities, widgets and Shortcuts • An Apple Watch app for quick replies and approvals • Works on iPhone and iPad • Light and dark themes NERD MODE Everyday controls stay simple. Turn on Nerd Mode in Settings to reveal host tools like files, plugins and logs. OPTIONAL DEVICE TOOLS With your permission, agents can add to your Calendar and Reminders and see where you are. Each is off until you turn it on under Permissions. HOW BIGHELP CONNECTS bighelp connects directly to a Hermes host you run, such as your own Mac, over your home network, Tailscale or HTTPS. Sign in with that host's own login. No separate bighelp account is needed. The free bighelp plugin for Hermes adds notifications, live voice, cards and the Feed. Your Hermes host remains the agent engine. AI, voice, storage and infrastructure providers configured on that host may process data under their own terms and may require separate accounts or subscriptions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: bighelp at none against HermesPilot's 1. bighelp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). HermesPilot's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
