Request
Add a native Android companion app for Hermes Agent, similar to OpenClaw's Android node (github.com/openclaw/openclaw — docs at docs.openclaw.ai/platforms/android).
Use case
Current state: Android users must use Termux to run Hermes locally, or reach the gateway via Telegram/WhatsApp. Neither gives a first-class mobile experience.
Desired: A dedicated Android app that:
- Connects to a remote Hermes gateway (server or Termux instance)
- Provides Chat, Voice, and Connect tabs
- Supports voice wake words + continuous voice input (ElevenLabs or system TTS)
- Shows Canvas rendering for structured output
- Exposes device commands (camera, screen capture, system actions) as Hermes tools
- Works across different networks via Cloudflare Tunnel or direct URL
Reference implementation
OpenClaw Android node is the closest analogue: docs.openclaw.ai/platforms/android
- Connect/Chat/Voice tabs + Canvas, Camera, Screen capture, Android device commands
- Pairs with the gateway daemon via a pairing runbook
A Hermes Android app could follow the same pairing pattern, connecting to the running hermes gateway process.
Why this matters
Hermes already supports gateway (Telegram/Discord/WhatsApp), but those are messaging proxies, not native app experiences. A native Android app would give:
- Offline-capable UI (show history without internet)
- Voice-first interaction (push-to-talk or wake word)
- Camera/screen tools as Hermes tool calls
- No dependency on a third-party messaging platform
The Termux path works for power users but has significant friction (no voice, no GUI, battery drain).
Thanks for the great work on Hermes Agent!
