Nous/Hermes Watch posted an update
A new open-source Wear OS app lets users speak to a Hermes Agent API server directly from their watch, Witcheer says. It recognises speech on the watch, sends the text to the server without a phone app in between, then reads the answer aloud.
Why it mattersThat could make Hermes easier to use hands-free, though the post does not specify device compatibility or how the app handles connection and privacy settings. A watch-sized shortcut, then, with a few practical details still to come.
Discuss: Would direct voice access from a watch make an AI agent genuinely more useful, or does sending speech to a server make this too much of a privacy trade-off?
