Brief

Minh Nhat Nguyen reports that Hermes, run through Slack, has become their primary agent workflow: roughly 95% of their AI agent interactions are via Slack+Git, enabling them to operate mostly from their phone while Hermes controls their laptop. They emphasize portability, shared context across threads/channels, linkable chats for any agent, and easy collaboration.
