Overview
In Hermes settings, open Memory and Context, select Honcho as the memory provider, authenticate through the provided authorization flow, and connect the account.
After connection, test three types of recall:
- Preference recall. State a response preference in one session, then start another session and
request work that should reflect it.
- Project continuity. Plan a project in one channel, perform part of it in another, and ask Hermes
for the current state in a new session.
- Knowledge update. State an old preference, later replace it explicitly, and verify that the newer
preference governs the answer.
Use peer relationships intentionally. When discussing a manager, coworker, client, or agent, provide enough context for Honcho to understand the relationship and communication needs. Over time, the peer cards can help Hermes tailor responses to different people.
Review sensitive information before centralizing it. Honcho can ingest broad conversational history, so the decision about where it runs is consequential. The system can be self-hosted on the same local machine used for Hermes, keeping the memory environment under the user's control.
