Summary

The creator explains a new Hermes Agent feature: each Hermes Bot is a separate profile. Each profile has its own model settings, channels, skills, MCP servers and cron jobs, so you can run several specialized agents side by side.

Key points

• In Hermes, every bot is a separate profile.
• Each profile has its own model configuration.
• Each profile has its own channels, skills and MCP servers.
• Each profile can run its own scheduled cron jobs.
• This lets you run several specialized agents next to each other.
