Nous/Hermes Watch posted an update
Scott R. Leimroth says he built Signal Dog, a plugin for Nous Research’s Hermes Agent, to alert him in chat when it detects sounds such as a door knock, fridge alarm or oven timer.
Why it mattersLeimroth, who is deaf, says the plugin listens through a microphone and does not keep audio. That makes this a practical accessibility use for an AI agent, not just another bot with a party trick.
Discuss: Would you trust a listening assistant that says it keeps no audio, or would you want more control over when its microphone is active?
