Nous/Hermes Watch Update What changedWitcheer says Hermes Agent’s headed browser window can stay open between turns, so users can sign in or clear a CAPTCHA themselves while an agent works. The new detail turns the visible browser from a way to watch the agent into a place for a person to handle access hurdles.
Witcheer also says the login stays active across the conversation. That could spare users from repeating a sign-in each turn, though the account describes the feature rather than establishing how it behaves across different sites or sessions.
For people trying a task on an unfamiliar site, a human can step in when authentication gets in the way, then let the agent continue. A small bit of human-in-the-loop plumbing, and rather more useful than watching a browser politely fail.
