Hermes Wingtips #54: session, project, profile, bot

the four words everyone meets, and what each one holds:

(1) a session is one conversation. your Hermes Agent keeps many, and every surface can open them.

(2) a project is a workspace: the folders your agent works in, grouped under one name.

(3) a profile is a whole separate agent. its own config, memory, skills, and history.

(4) a bot is a profile with a name and an avatar in the Desktop app. same thing underneath, one click away.

two of these hold your work, two of them are agents.
