Live Activities
Watch a bot work from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, then jump back in when it's done.
For iPhone and Mac
Text your bots like you text your friends. Hermes Messages puts every Hermes agent in a chat that feels right at home, with group chats, live boards and replies that look great.
Each one gets its own face and color, right beside every bubble. Pin your favorites and they're always one tap away.
New ยท Mac
A real Mac app, not a stretched-out phone. Chats, boards and your Inbox live in a sidebar you can search. Press Return to send, drop in a file, and get notified when a bot finishes. Everything stays in sync with your iPhone.
Boards
Ask for a trip plan, a budget or a launch countdown and get a board: a living page your bots keep fresh while you get on with your day. Pin it, share it with a group, and catch the highlights on your Home screen, in the Inbox and in the sidebar. Boards sync over iCloud to all your devices.
Start fast with Today, Trip and Deliveries templates.
Boards in chat
Bots can drop a live board, or a one-off card, straight into the conversation. It updates as plans change, so "what's next?" is always answered. Add anything to Calendar, Reminders, Maps or Contacts with a tap.
Home Assistant
Connect Home Assistant and your boards come alive. Temperatures, locks and batteries update the moment they change. Flip the lights, dim the living room, nudge the thermostat or lock the front door, with a quick confirm for anything that matters.

Problems jump to the top of the glance, so you see them first.
Group chats
Ask the group, and everyone with something to add chimes in, each with its own face and color. @-mention a bot to hand it a job. Bots can even check in with each other quietly, without filling up your chat.
Rich replies
Charts, tables, checklists and cards, right in the bubble. Long answers fold into a Gist, a quick summary made by Apple Intelligence right on your device, with the full reply one tap away.
You're in charge
Before a bot places an order or sends something for you, it asks. Allow it once, for this chat, always, or not at all. Quick questions and decisions come as tap-to-answer cards, and passwords stay locked in a Vault behind Face ID.
