Hermes Agent Desktop gives you a clean desktop interface for using an AI agent without living in the terminal. Relay Console is my attempt to build the layer above the agent harness. It gives AI agents a WhatsApp-style interface, direct chats, team chats, avatars, app connections, memory access, instructions, departments, tasks, approvals, and a marketplace for connecting agents to real apps like Gmail, Notion, ExaSearch, Google Docs, LinkedIn, X, and more. Relay Console is not trying to replace Hermes or OpenClaw. It sits on top of them. The goal is simple: make AI agents feel less like a developer tool and more like something normal people can use every day.
