Set Hermes to ask before it controls your devices
Hermes can do more than answer questions when a device is connected. During a phone troubleshooting session, a USB cable stayed plugged in, and Hermes used ADB to check battery data before answering a question about the battery chip and whether a battery might be disconnected.
When a printer issue came up, the printer produced a test page. Asking Hermes to fix broken things can lead it to take real action on connected devices.
It also seemed to keep improving its own skills and learning more about the user’s setup over time. The main point is that Hermes may act directly on phones, printers, and other devices, not just give advice.
