Hermes Review
Self-hosted web UI dashboard for managing and running AI chat conversations against local or remote models.
Verdict
Hermes is a self-hosted chat dashboard aimed at users who want full control over their AI conversation data without relying on third-party cloud services. Its primary strength is privacy and infrastructure ownership, making it suitable for developers or privacy-conscious teams. The limited scrape data suggests the project is modest in scope, and users should expect to handle their own model provisioning and maintenance.
