About

DS Bot is a desktop application and DeepSeek Harness plugin for managing a team of persistent AI bots. Each bot has a model, profile, permissions and memory, and can work in private chats or group conversations. A main bot can coordinate the team, delegate tasks and organize larger work into stages. Users can add MCP servers and skills, connect services such as GitHub and Gmail, and link bots to Telegram, WeChat, Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom, QQ, Discord or Slack. Supported local coding-agent command-line tools can also run as bots. The app includes computer-use controls and approval of sensitive actions. Bots can create and edit Word, PowerPoint and Excel files; some file-generation and rendering features require the desktop app or DeepSeek Harness Desktop. DS Bot is open source, runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and also supports Docker deployment. Model use and third-party services may incur separate charges.

With built-in tools for web browsing, search, and code execution, it provides a versatile environment for various tasks. Overall, Hermes Agent acts as a continuously evolving AI system that adapts to user needs and workflows.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The automatic acknowledgement confirmed receipt of my request and supplied reference T-4167, which I could quote in my follow-up messages.
  • Hermes Agent is really interesting from a developer’s point of view because it feels like a real agent framework instead of another chatbot wrapper. I like that it has persistent memory, reusable skills, tool use, cron jobs, and messaging integrations built around the idea of an agent that keeps improving over time. The open-source MIT license is a big plus. As a developer, I want to inspect the code, self-host it, modify the runtime, and understand how the agent is making decisions instead of depending completely on a closed platform. The self-improving skills system is the most exciting part. If Hermes can actually turn repeated workflows into reusable skills, that makes it much more useful for long-term automation, personal agents, dev workflows, research tasks, and ops work. I also like that it can run across terminal, desktop, cloud, and messaging channels. That makes it feel closer to a persistent digital teammate than a tab I have to keep open.

Cons

  • As of 24 October I have only received automatic acknowledgements under T-4167 and T-6537, despite follow-ups. A further subscription charge was processed on 18 October while the original refund request remained unresolved.
  • The power also creates risk. Recent security reporting says Hermes Agent has already been abused in real-world intrusion activity when operators ran it with minimal supervision, which is a reminder that autonomous agents need tight permissions, logging, and human review. It is also probably not the best starting point for casual users. To get the most out of Hermes, you need to be comfortable with setup, self-hosting decisions, access control, model choices, and deciding exactly what the agent should be allowed to do. I would be careful with anything involving credentials, production systems, customer data, or destructive actions. Hermes looks powerful, but it should be treated like a junior employee with limited permissions, not like a fully trusted autonomous operator.
