Not sure what to think about the new Hermes Bot mode
I have a Hermes setup that includes 4 different profiles for family members to use.
One additional profile is for a project I’m working on, in which I was looking to sell AI services to clients. This would involve setting them up with a profile. I later realized that there is some cross-contamination of information and files between profiles. It’s fine for family, but questionable when handling clients’ information. I’m still looking to find a solution for this.
In any case, I’ve seen profiles working generally as silos, each working independently of each other. Now with Bot Mode, I feel the messaging is more like “go ahead and create 10 bots, and they’ll all interact and talk to each other.” That’s a very different approach.
Currently, it seems Bot Mode is more of a change in interface, and exchange between bots/profiles is clunky at best. Over the next weeks, that will surely “improve.”
All this comes at the heels of Grok Bot, which seems pretty cool, but a bit expensive. Hermes saw that it got some traction and decided to copy it, which is fine. It’s just intended for a different use case.
