Which channels can we use?

You choose. An individual can use Hermes Desktop on a workstation. Teams can work with Hermes through Discord, Slack, Buzz, Telegram, or WhatsApp, for example. Choose the channels your team already uses rather than treating one channel as a requirement.

Can multiple employees work in the same project?

Yes. Decisions made by one person in a project are available to the others. That makes it easier to work together.

Is Hermes difficult to learn?

No. It works like a chat interface, but with context. Most employees can get started after a short onboarding session.

Can I start with one person and expand later?

Yes. You can start with one person, using Hermes Desktop on a workstation or a channel that already fits the work. When more people join, they can work together on a shared node through a channel the team chooses. Your existing configuration, skills, and knowledge can move with the installation; you do not need to start over or adopt a prescribed channel.

Hermes for teams: work in the right project

Hermes is the AI agent your team works with. An individual can use Hermes Desktop on a workstation with the full toolset. A team can work together on a shared node through a channel it already uses, such as Discord, Slack, or Buzz. Neither setup requires a particular starting point or channel switch. The central idea stays the same: you work in a project. Hermes has the context: which files matter, which decisions have been made, and which tools are available. This article explains how that works for teams.

What is Hermes for teams?

Hermes is the AI agent employees work with through channels such as Discord, Slack, Telegram, or Buzz. Working on your own? Hermes Desktop on your workstation is another option, with the full toolset. It is more than a chat window: it is a workspace connected to your projects, knowledge base, and tools.

Working in projects

The project is central to Hermes. A project is a defined workspace containing files and folders relevant to the task, agreements and procedures Hermes needs to know, access to the required tools, and session history that keeps earlier decisions available.

How teams work with it

Each employee opens the project that fits the task. Hermes has the context, can avoid unnecessary questions, and can get to work. Multiple employees can work in the same project, so decisions made by one person are available to the others.

Desktop and team channels

An individual can use Hermes Desktop on a workstation with the full toolset. Teams can work together on a node running Hermes through a channel such as Discord, Slack, or Buzz. Hermes Desktop can also connect separately to the same node through a Hermes gateway. Telegram and WhatsApp are further options. Your team chooses the channels it already uses; growing the team does not require moving to a particular channel.
