Aside Browser

Use the signed-in Aside browser as Hermes's browser when the Aside CLI is installed.

Good to know before installing

Runs the local aside CLI to drive your signed-in Aside browser (page text, screenshots, Aside memory, model-written JavaScript via aside_repl) without a Hermes approval prompt; Aside's permission level is a user-only setting (default ask) that covers aside_exec only. Optional pre_tool_call hook blocks Hermes' built-in browser tools while Aside is ready when browser_policy is always. Reads Aside's settings.json for the model list; no telemetry.

How to install

Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install aside-browser
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable aside-browser
Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
