What is hermes-desktop-ru?

This is a Russian-language fork of Hermes Desktop, a native desktop application that provides a graphical interface for installing and using Hermes Agent, an AI assistant that can use tools, send messages across platforms, and improve itself over time. The fork adds built-in support for Russian AI providers, a localized interface, and Russian-first default settings. Planned additions include GigaChat and YandexGPT as provider options. Hermes Desktop removes the need to manage Hermes Agent from a command line. On first launch it walks you through installing the agent on your computer or connecting to a remote instance, then asks you to pick an AI provider. Supported providers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Groq, and several others, as well as locally running models through tools like LM Studio or Ollama. Russian users get NeuralDeep Hub and Bitrix VibeCode added to that list. Once set up, the app gives you a chat interface with streaming responses, markdown formatting, and live token and cost tracking. You can run slash commands, search past conversation history, switch between separate profiles each with their own configuration, and manage a memory system that the agent uses to remember information about you. There is also a persona editor for changing how the agent behaves, saved model configurations, and a log viewer. Beyond chat, the app includes a cron-style task scheduler, a visual 3D interface called Hermes Office, and connections to 16 messaging platforms including Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and email. Fourteen toolsets cover web browsing, file access, code execution, image generation, and more. The project is under active development and the installer is not code-signed, so Windows and Fedora users will see security warnings on first run. The README includes instructions for working around those prompts.
