Use Hermes Agent like a small team, not one all-purpose bot

Hermes Agent works best when one assistant is split into clear roles instead of being asked to handle every decision alone. One agent can plan the main goal and break it into smaller tasks, another can gather research, and others can handle writing, SEO, development, automation, client work, or project management.

Inside an Agent OS-style workspace, tools such as Hermes, Claude, Kimi, and GLM can share the same work history so the same project does not need to be explained again each day. Hermes Agent’s async subagent feature also lets long jobs run in the background while the main chat stays usable.

A delegated task returns a task ID right away, and the work can then be checked, guided, collected, canceled, or listed later. The practical setup is to give each agent one narrow job, define what it must hand off, and use background delegation for work that would otherwise block the main conversation.
