Hermes bundles Bot Mode into its desktop app by default under an MIT license, with each bot as a separate profile directory holding config, keys, memory, and cron-based routines. Grok Bot gives named bots shared access to one account-scoped computer including files and browser sessions, while Claude Tag provisions a single organization-wide service identity that anyone in a Slack channel can tag. The three differ sharply in identity architecture: Hermes scopes credentials to the host machine without sandboxing, Grok shares one machine across all bots, and Claude Tag uses channel-scoped tool access. None of the vendors have published evidence that these mechanisms keep an agent coherent over long-term use, so the security and configuration model matters more than the friendly job-title framing suggests. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Hermes Bot Mode and how does it work in the Hermes desktop app? Hermes Bot Mode is a feature folded directly into the Hermes desktop app by Nous Research, shipping bundled and enabled by default starting with version 0.20.4, which also added a tabbed Sessions and Bots sidebar. Each bot is a separate Hermes Agent profile with its own home directory containing config, keys, a SOUL file, memory, sessions, skills, and cron state, released under an MIT license. The standalone plugin repository that previously provided this functionality has been archived. _Teams tracking agent framework updates like this can follow releases on daily.dev before wiring bots into production._ ### How does Grok Bot handle permissions and shared access between multiple bots? Grok Bot, announced by xAI on August 11, lets every bot share one account-scoped computer, including files, browser sessions, and app logins. xAI states that these shared resources survive even after the bot that created them is deleted, and each account can run up to 50 routines per bot. This shared-machine model contrasts with Hermes, which scopes credentials per host, and Claude Tag, which uses channel-scoped tool access. _Anyone comparing agent permission models before adoption can weigh Grok Bot's shared-access tradeoffs alongside similar coverage on daily.dev._ ### How does Claude Tag's identity model differ from Grok Bot and Hermes Bot Mode? Claude Tag, announced by Anthropic on June 23, provisions a single organization-wide service identity that joins a Slack workspace's human roster, where anyone in a channel can tag it and each thread spins up its own working session. This differs from Grok Bot's shared account-scoped computer across many named bots and from Hermes Bot Mode's per-bot profile directories with host-scoped credentials and no sandboxing. _Engineers deciding between agent identity architectures can track how Claude Tag, Grok Bot, and Hermes evolve via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Claude Tag Security: Governing AI Identities in Slack](https://daily.dev/posts/claude-tag-security-governing-ai-identities-in-slack-niiscvjov) · Security Boulevard · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#cloud](https://daily.dev/tags/cloud), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#claude](https://daily.dev/tags/claude), [#grok](https://daily.dev/tags/grok) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/grok-claude-and-hermes-agents-get-job-titles-and-persistent-permissions-yurrn8lxp) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Grok, Claude, and Hermes agents get job titles — and persistent permissions","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/grok-claude-and-hermes-agents-get-job-titles-and-persistent-permissions-yurrn8lxp","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/grok-claude-and-hermes-agents-get-job-titles-and-persistent-permissions-yurrn8lxp"},"datePublished":"2026-08-21T13:01:41.793Z","dateModified":"2026-08-21T13:02:44.681Z","description":"Three AI products — Nous Research's Hermes Bot Mode, xAI's Grok Bot, and Anthropic's Claude Tag — are turning chatbot sessions into persistent agent identities...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7fffa8f59d3064a6352004cf5533ada5?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7fffa8f59d3064a6352004cf5533ada5?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The New Stack","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The New Stack","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/newstack","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/newstack"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/grok-claude-and-hermes-agents-get-job-titles-and-persistent-permissions-yurrn8lxp","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"cloud,ai-agents,claude,grok","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The New Stack","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/newstack"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Grok, Claude, and Hermes agents get job titles — and persistent permissions"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/grok-claude-and-hermes-agents-get-job-titles-and-persistent-permissions-yurrn8lxp#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is Hermes Bot Mode and how does it work in the Hermes desktop app?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Hermes Bot Mode is a feature folded directly into the Hermes desktop app by Nous Research, shipping bundled and enabled by default starting with version 0.20.4, which also added a tabbed Sessions and Bots sidebar.
