One roster for specialist profiles
Bot Mode shows Hermes profiles in a desktop roster. Each Bot keeps its model, role, memory and skills for quick return.
The roster uses existing profiles. Settings and chat history stay with each profile, and agents remain accessible from the CLI.
Chats and routines stay with each Bot
Each Bot has persistent chat and scheduled routines. Direct and group chats let profiles interact in the app.
Bot settings include skills, toolsets and MCP servers. These are configuration options, not evidence of reliable unsupervised workflows.
