Is Hermes ready for enterprise use? Community weighs the gaps
A user explored whether Hermes could work for enterprise settings and raised several open questions. Hermes' main appeal is its feature combined with Kanban-style task management, letting someone call specialized agents for specific purposes (like coding) whose behavior improves over time. However, it appears to lack out-of-the-box for handling multiple user profiles and saving , both considered critical for enterprise use.
It's unclear whether this means the right simply hasn't been found, or whether a custom Docker/ deployment is required to fill the gap. Enterprise use also demands centralized control over skills, souls, and tools, and that capability is similarly unconfirmed. Community opinion is split: some see Hermes as a strong , while others argue it isn't capable enough for that role.
A broader observation is that most agents ultimately function as harnesses or s, either by modifying the flow directly or by working through skills/tools. Even if the conclusion is that Hermes isn't enterprise-ready yet, the person remains a fan and plans to keep using it for personal projects.
Key points
- Hermes' is combined with Kanban-based task management
- Multi-user profiles and conversation saving appear missing from out-of-the-box
- Centralized control over skills/souls/tools is needed for enterprise but unconfirmed to exist
- Unclear if a custom Docker/ deployment is required, or was just missed
- Community is split on whether Hermes is a capable
