Summary

The creator is running many Hermes agents in Docker containers to build a 'command centre' that manages multiple agents. It is a short pointer to a multi-agent setup.

Key points

• Run many Hermes agent instances, each in its own Docker container.
• Containers let you scale the number of agents ('unlimited').
• A command centre is one place to manage and watch all the agents.
