Hermes Agent Mission Control just dropped and it's the biggest UX upgrade the Hermes ecosystem has ever had.
Hermes Workspace V2 gives you a native way to talk to your Hermes AI agents online.
Chat.
Terminal.
Memory.
Skills.
Inspector.
All in one genuinely well-designed interface.
Finally, a proper mission control for running AI agents at scale.
Video notes + links to the tools 👉
What Is Hermes Agent Mission Control?
Hermes Workspace V2 is the new native gateway for talking to your Hermes AI agents.
It's open-source (available on GitHub).
It runs locally or via Docker.
And it gives you one unified interface to control everything.
Previous Hermes versions (0.9 onward) had a mission control, but you didn't really get much control over speaking to the agent directly inside the chat.
Workspace V2 fixes this.
You can now chat with your agents, orchestrate sub-agents, and manage memory and skills from one place.
This is what Hermes has needed for months.
What You Get Inside Mission Control
The V2 workspace includes five key sections:
1. Chat
Talk to your Hermes agent directly in the dashboard.
No more switching between terminal and Telegram.
Real-time conversation with full context.
2. Terminal
The traditional Hermes terminal access is still there.
Use it when you want raw command-line power.
3. Memory
See exactly what Hermes remembers.
Browse the knowledge tree.
Edit entries manually if needed.
4. Skills
Manage your custom skills.
Edit prompts.
Enable/disable individual skills.
5. Inspector
Debug what's happening inside your agent.
See the reasoning process.
Troubleshoot failures faster.
Setting Up Hermes Agent Mission Control
Getting V2 running takes about 10 minutes.
Option A: Docker
docker run -p 8080:8080 hermesworkspace/v2
Option B: Local Install
Clone the repo from GitHub.
Run the install script.
Launch.
Option C: Ask Hermes to Set It Up
Launch Hermes in your terminal.
Say: "Set up Hermes Workspace V2 for me."
It'll guide you through.

Why Mission Control Matters for Serious Users
If you're running Hermes casually, the terminal is fine.
If you're running Hermes as part of a business operation, you need proper tooling.
Mission Control gives you:
- Visibility into what your agents are doing
- Control over multiple sessions simultaneously
- Debugging when things go wrong
- Orchestration of sub-agents working together
- Professional UX for non-technical team members
This is what takes Hermes from "developer tool" to "business platform."

Inside the AI Profit Boardroom, I've got a full walkthrough covering the V2 installation, sub-agent orchestration, and production configurations. Plus my 2-hour Hermes course covers the whole ecosystem. 2,800+ members already testing the new workspace.
Sub-Agent Orchestration
One of V2's most powerful features.
You can now orchestrate multiple sub-agents from Mission Control.
What This Enables
- One primary agent coordinating work
- Multiple sub-agents handling specialised tasks
- All visible in Mission Control
- All manageable from one interface
Practical Example
You're running an SEO content operation:
- Primary agent: orchestrator
- Sub-agent 1: keyword research
- Sub-agent 2: content writing
- Sub-agent 3: image generation
- Sub-agent 4: publishing
All coordinated through Mission Control.
All trackable in real-time.
This is what makes Hermes Workspace V2 feel like a proper distributed system.
Comparison With Previous Hermes Versions
Quick context on what's different:

| In-dashboard chat | No | Yes |
| Memory browser | Limited | Full knowledge tree |
| Skill management | Basic editor | Full UI |
| Sub-agent orchestration | CLI only | Native UI |
