How to use ego (lite) with Hermes Agent
Use Hermes Agent with ego (lite) on Windows. Set permissions, load ego-browser, and complete a Tokyo Airbnb search.
Hermes Agent can use ego-browser to work in an ego (lite) Space on Windows. This recording follows an Airbnb search for accommodation in Tokyo, from loading the skill to reviewing a table of three listings.
Before you start: install ego (lite)
Install ego (lite) on Windows and finish setup. Open Hermes Desktop on the same computer and start a new session. If you need help with the browser setup, begin with Quick start.
Check that ego-browser is available in Hermes. If it does not appear, finish ego (lite) setup, restart Hermes, and check again.
Step 1: Set session permissions
Open Settings > Safety > Approvals and set Approval Mode to Smart, as shown in the recording.
Step 2: Load the ego-browser skill
Type /ego-browser in the message input. Add a space after the skill name, enter your browser task in the same message, and send it.
Step 3: Let Hermes Agent work
Hermes Agent opens Airbnb in an ego (lite) Space, searches Tokyo, and reads the listings. Switch to the agent Space to follow its progress. Your own tabs stay in your Space while the task runs.
Step 4: Check the result
Hermes Agent returns a comparison table with three listings, displayed prices, property details, and source links.
Troubleshooting
ego-browser is missing
Finish ego (lite) setup on the same Windows computer, restart Hermes, and check the available skills again.
Hermes Agent cannot open ego (lite)
Check that ego (lite) is installed and review Settings > Safety > Approvals in Hermes. If a permission request appears, review it before retrying the task.
Hermes reports an unknown command
Keep a space between /ego-browser and the first word of your task so Hermes can identify the skill name.
Airbnb asks you to sign in
Open the agent Space in ego (lite), complete the sign-in or verification yourself, and then ask Hermes Agent to continue.
