Hermes Workspace GUI

What it is

Hermes Workspace is a unified, web-based command center for the Hermes Agent that consolidates chat (with SSE streaming and tool-call rendering), file and memory browsers, skill management, and a full PTY terminal into one interface. Built during the Nous Hackathon 2026, it is the most complete browser-based GUI for Hermes — giving power users a visual agent IDE to inspect and edit agent internals without leaving the browser.

What it gives you

Chat Panel

• SSE streaming responses with tool-call rendering
• Real-time conversation with your Hermes agent profile
• Clean rendering of multi-step agent workflows

Memory Browser

• Inspect and edit agent memory files (MEMORY.md, USER.md, SOUL.md)
• Visibility into the agent's internal state — what it remembers and why
• Direct editing without terminal commands

Skills Browser

• Manage per-session skills from a 2,000+ skill registry
• Toggle skills on/off as needed
• Start lean (web search, browser, memory, files) and add more as needed

File Browser

• Navigate and edit workspace files with the Monaco editor
• Full filesystem visibility alongside conversational workflows

Terminal

• Persistent PTY shell sessions
• Run shell commands without leaving the workspace

When to use it

• You want to operate inside your agent environment rather than chat with it from a terminal
• You need to edit memory, browse skills, run shell commands, and manage files in one place
• You are a power user who wants genuine visibility into the agent's internal state
• You manage multiple Hermes profiles and need a visual switcher

Notes

• Workspace is a progressive web app — installable on iPhone or Android via browser
• Start with a "default" profile, then add specialized profiles (Researcher, Writer, Customer Ops)
• Do not enable all 2,000+ skills upfront — start lean and add as needed
• Community-maintained, not an official Nous Research project
