Hermes Web UI vs Hermes Workspace: Which Hermes Agent Setup Should You Use?The video compares Hermes Web UI and Hermes Workspace as two free, open-source interfaces for running Hermes Agent, showing them side by side and explaining how the choice affects what the agent can do. Hermes Web UI is simpler, cleaner, and tends to connect more reliably, but it only lets you use one agent profile at a time. Hermes Workspace offers more features—file management, terminal access, Hermes World, and advanced coordination tools like Swarms (running many agent profiles simultaneously), Kanban boards, jobs, a conductor, and missions—making it better for managing a coordinated team of agents, though it can be buggy to configure and connect. The creator also mentions setup guides available in the AI Profit Boardroom and answers questions about using Hermes for free via Step Fun 3.5 Flash, local hardware limits, and preferring Mac over Windows.00:00 Hermes UI Showdown00:40 Why Use a UI02:07 Side by Side Setup02:19 Connection Bugs Fixes03:31 Workspace Swarms Feature04:42 Files Terminal Customization05:14 Kanban Conductor Missions05:46 Which One To Choose06:36 Guides Community Plug07:20 Q&A Free Local Setup08:26 Final Wrap Up
