Hermes Agent Computer Use Update: Background Desktop Control Now on Windows, Linux & macOS
Hermes Agent’s “computer use” feature has a new update adding Windows and Linux support and improving macOS, allowing Hermes Jarvis to control a computer by reading the screen and clicking/typing in the background without moving your real cursor or interrupting your work. The script demos opening Obsidian, websites, Google, and writing a note via real-time mode and a more powerful agent mode that can run tasks in the background. It explains the “Hermes Takeover Engine” workflow, emphasizes cross-OS support, and notes you can use different AI “brains” (including local/free options) rather than being locked to one model. Safety is highlighted through approval prompts before potentially destructive actions, plus a stop button. The episode contrasts this with slower, screen-taking tools like Claude Computer Use and promotes the AI Profit Boardroom/Agent OS for setup, training, and support.
