It Acts, Doesn't Just Talk
A chatbot tells you how to deploy a site. Hermes deploys it. Tools: web, terminal, file, vision, image generation, all built in.

You’re a designer. Why Hermes?
Section titled “You’re a designer. Why Hermes?”You already have a specialty: design. Hermes is the support agent that handles everything around it. Research, landing page builds, app development, deployment, file management. The stuff that pulls you away from the actual design work.
Most AI coding tools live in your terminal and stop at code. Hermes is a work agent that also writes code. It reads your files, searches the web, generates images, runs builds, deploys sites. It has a desktop app because not everyone wants to live in a terminal.
How Hermes is different
Section titled “How Hermes is different”Three things separate it from the coding agents you’ve heard about:
-
It learns you over time. Hermes has a memory system that builds a running model of who you are: your preferences, your style, your goals. Not just your codebase. Every conversation makes it smarter about you.
-
It can run autonomously when you want it to. Cron jobs on a schedule. Telegram delivery to your phone. Multi-agent kanban boards where agents work in parallel. You don’t have to sit in the terminal watching it work, but you can if you want to.
-
It has a face. Desktop app to chat. Dashboard to configure. No terminal required after install. Most coding agents are CLI-only, built by developers, for developers.
What it replaces
Section titled “What it replaces”| Today (manual) | With Hermes |
|---|---|
| Hours researching competitors by hand | “Audit these 5 competitor sites and summarize their design patterns” done before your coffee gets cold |
| Copy-pasting design tokens into code by eye | Figma MCP reads your designs, extracts tokens, writes the CSS |
| Asking a dev to build a landing page | “Build this landing page from my Figma file and deploy to Cloudflare Pages” |
| Handing off design specs to a developer | “Read my Figma file and generate a React component with my design tokens” |
What makes it different
Section titled “What makes it different”Skills, Not Just Prompts
Reusable workflows for real tasks: landing page builds, app development, iOS apps. Install one, use it forever.
Design → Code Pipeline
Figma MCP reads your designs, extracts tokens, writes components. From Figma frame to deployed site without leaving the chat.
Learns You Over Time
Hermes builds a running model of who you are: preferences, style, goals. Every conversation makes it smarter about you, not just your codebase.
It adapts to your workflow
Section titled “It adapts to your workflow”Hermes doesn’t force you into its system. You shape it around yours.
Write skills for your specific process. Connect the MCP servers your stack uses. Set up cron jobs that match your client schedule. Route different tasks to different models based on what you’re doing. Build the workflow that fits how you already work, not the other way around.
The key insight
Section titled “The key insight”Desktop app to talk. Dashboard to configure. Terminal is last resort.
Most designers never touch the terminal after install. Everything: chat, skills, tools, config, cron, multi-agent. All lives in two visual interfaces.
Designer Tip:
You don’t need to learn to code to use Hermes. You need to learn to describe what you want clearly. That’s a designer’s skill already.
