Major Updates to Hermes Agent
Overview of the Update

- The connection between iMessage and the desktop app allows seamless commands such as opening browsers or moving files while chatting. This makes it easier to manage tasks from mobile devices.
- For quick messaging while on the go, iMessage is preferred over Telegram unless threading is needed for complex discussions. This change simplifies communication with Hermes during travel.

Background Agents
- Background agents can now operate automatically without manual activation, enabling users to continue interacting with Hermes while sub-agents perform lengthy tasks in the background. This enhances multitasking capabilities significantly.
- Users can issue complex prompts that trigger background agents automatically, improving efficiency when conducting extensive research or data analysis without waiting for completion of previous tasks.
- A new sub-agent tree feature allows users to monitor active sub-agents and their ongoing commands, providing transparency into what each agent is working on simultaneously.
Unreal Engine 5.8 MCP Integration
- With the release of Unreal Engine 5.8, users can now utilize AI via Hermes to create complex games within this popular game engine, expanding creative possibilities at no cost to developers.
- This integration positions Hermes as a powerful tool for game development compared to simpler engines like 3.js, allowing for more sophisticated projects such as first-person shooters and other advanced gaming formats.
Updated Desktop App Features
- The updated desktop app introduces multi-window support for chats, facilitating better multitasking by allowing multiple sessions to be viewed side-by-side simultaneously—an essential improvement for productivity-focused users.
- A model selector has been added at the bottom of the interface for quick adjustments between different models without navigating through configuration files—streamlining user experience significantly when new models are released.
