About this app
bighelp is a streamlined way to work with the AI agents you run with Hermes. Whether you want a simple chat interface, or a full fleet command center, bighelp has it covered. CHATS THAT FEEL LIKE TEXTING • Message any of your agents one on one • Watch replies arrive as they're written • Type, talk, or share photos and files • Pick up any conversation right where you left off GROUP CHATS • Pull several agents into one thread • Mention who should take what, and they split the work A FACE FOR EVERY AGENT • Give each agent a name, a face and a job • Live avatars show when an agent is thinking, working or waiting on you WORKFLOWS Build and manage custom node-style workflows for repeatable processes across your agents! YOU STAY IN CHARGE • Approvals let an agent ask before it acts • Agents can reply with cards and forms, so choosing is one tap TASKS ON A SCHEDULE • Set up a morning brief, a weekly budget check-in or a fare watch • Pause or change a task anytime VOICE • Talk it through, turn by turn or live • Turn-based voice is transcribed on your device EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Notifications, Live Activities, widgets and Shortcuts • An Apple Watch app for quick replies and approvals • Works on iPhone and iPad • Light and dark themes NERD MODE Everyday controls stay simple. Turn on Nerd Mode in Settings to reveal host tools like files, plugins and logs. OPTIONAL DEVICE TOOLS With your permission, agents can add to your Calendar and Reminders and see where you are. Each is off until you turn it on under Permissions. HOW BIGHELP CONNECTS bighelp connects directly to a Hermes host you run, such as your own Mac, over your home network, Tailscale or HTTPS. Sign in with that host's own login. No separate bighelp account is needed. The free bighelp plugin for Hermes adds notifications, live voice, cards and the Feed. Your Hermes host remains the agent engine. AI, voice, storage and infrastructure providers configured on that host may process data under their own terms and may require separate accounts or subscriptions.
What's new
Version 2.6.75 · Nov 8, 2026
New - Work in the background: an agent can keep working after it answers, with helpers, a command such as a preview server, or a scheduled task. In a chat, "In the background" shows above the message box while this work runs. Tap it to see each item and to stop a command. In Bots mode, a bot with work in the background shows a stack on its face. - Activities: on a bot's Dashboard, Activities shows the background work of the last seven days, by day. Tap an item to see what it did: a helper's steps in order and its answer, a command's output, or how a routine run went. - See and control your computer: on a bot's Computer tab, Your computer shows the desktop of the computer that runs Hermes (macOS, Linux or Windows). Turn on screen sharing with a password on the computer first. - Notifications from your agents: an agent can send you a notification at any time, without a scheduled task. - More notification switches: Scheduled tasks, Deliveries and Group chats each have their own switch in Settings, Notifications. - Your order for plans: in Usage, tap Choose next to Limits and drag the plans into the order you want. - Restart Hermes Dashboard from Settings, System. Alerts from an agent show the agent's picture. Fixed - A message that you send in a group chat shows at once. - With Agents messaging each other off, replies to your own messages in a bot's chat notify you again. - In Bots mode, New Group Chat is in the + menu as soon as you open bighelp. - A finished turn keeps the chat's style while a helper works in the background. - You can pinch to zoom on a screen while you are in control. - When live voice cannot start, the call screen tells you why. - If you remove the plugin on your computer, you can install it again from bighelp. Some of these need the latest bighelp plugin (3.49.0) on your computer.
