Hermes Studio provides a web-based dashboard for the Hermes Agent ecosystem. It centralizes session management, multi-model chat, scheduled automation, and usage analytics into a single self-hosted interface, giving teams visibility and control over their AI agent operations.
What Hermes Studio Does
