About

Hermes Desktop is an open-source AI agent platform that enables users to run a powerful personal AI assistant across multiple communication channels and devices. The platform connects with services such as Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, email, and command-line interfaces while maintaining a unified memory across all interactions. Hermes Desktop features persistent memory that learns from projects, stores solutions, and continuously improves through generated skills and knowledge retention. Users can automate recurring tasks, schedule workflows, conduct web searches, generate images, and access advanced AI capabilities from a single environment. The platform also supports isolated subagents that can work independently on specialized tasks while maintaining coordination with the primary agent. By combining automation, memory, communication, and AI tooling, Hermes Desktop provides a flexible workspace for managing complex workflows.

About

Instinct is a personal assistant that understands what you are working on and what is important to you, then connects directly to the applications and devices that contain the context of your everyday life. It can work across email, messaging, your screen, audio, location, and other sources rather than requiring you to move everything into a new interface. The interaction model is deliberately simple: there are no new interfaces to learn. Instinct is trained to use a phone and a computer in the same way people do, and users can reach it by text or by calling it. Its core model is trained to understand and handle the deeply personal nuances of everyday life, allowing it to move beyond answering isolated prompts and instead act on ongoing responsibilities and unfinished threads. It can follow up on conversations you have dropped, proactively call or text you when something needs attention, arrange transportation to the airport, and book a handyman for your apartment.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Instinct feels much closer to an actual personal assistant than a normal chatbot. I can text it like I would a person, hand it something that needs to get done, and let it handle the messy follow-up work. The ability to call businesses is especially useful. Things like restaurant reservations, appointment waitlists, service issues, and other tasks that still require a phone call are exactly the kind of work I want an AI assistant taking off my plate. I also really like that Instinct has its own email address. Letting the agent handle confirmations, account signups, and communication without flooding my personal inbox makes the whole experience feel more autonomous.

Cons

  • The biggest concern is privacy. Instinct needs access to a lot of personal context to be this useful, and early testers have raised questions about its permissions, security model, and terms. It is also still early and access remains limited, so I would not hand it complete control over anything sensitive without keeping a close eye on what it is doing.
