Hermes Agent's local browser runs in the background by default. one setting opens it as a Chromium window on your screen:

hermes config set browser.headed true

you see every page and click as the agent works. the window also stays open between turns, so you can sign in or clear a CAPTCHA yourself, and your login stays warm across the conversation.

great for watching a new task run the first time, a site that asks you to sign in or a demo for a friend!
