Hermes Wingtips #58: real profile browsing

it shipped in Hermes Agent this week, and the same questions keep coming back. the two big ones:

(1) "so the agent can see all my browser logins?"

it never touches your real browser. it browses a separate copy that you can revoke and delete any time. you stay in control the whole time.

(2) "does it work fully local, with a local model?"

yes. with any backend and any model, fully local setups included.

with this new tool, your agent can easily book flights, check orders, pull invoices and way more!
