Hermes Desktop is a native AI assistant app by Nous Research. It provides a desktop chat interface for Hermes Agent, an AI agent that can work with models, run tools, manage projects, use memory and skills, and connect to messaging gateways.

## Quick start
```bash
ollama launch hermes-desktop
```
Ollama handles the setup flow automatically:
1. **Install** - If Hermes Desktop isn't installed, Ollama prompts to install it
2. **Model** - Pick a model from the selector
3. **Configure** - Ollama configures Hermes Desktop to use your selected Ollama model
4. **Launch** - Ollama opens Hermes Desktop
## Run directly with a model
```bash
ollama launch hermes-desktop --model <model>
```
Run `ollama launch hermes-desktop` again to switch models later.
