Update: terminal, Slack, memory, and a smoother deploy flow

Hey everyone - quick update on DeployHermes (managed hosting for Hermes agents on Fly.io).

Since our last public release (right after we moved the stack to Vercel), we’ve been heads-down on reliability and on features people actually asked for. Here’s what’s new:

Big additions

  • Terminal access — including an non-interactive terminal path (with fixes and better behavior for sessions).

  • Slack support — alongside improvements to Telegram and Discord (including clearer links for chat channels in the UI).

  • Agent memory — memory on the agent side, plus home + settings UI so it’s usable, not buried.

  • Cron jobs — create and manage scheduled work from the product (with follow-up fixes so jobs are recognized reliably).

  • Skills — surface and use skills from the dashboard, with UI polish so detection and editing feel sane.

  • Sessions & envsession management, an env editor, and a config editor so you’re not SSH’ing for every tweak.

  • Multi-provider & OpenCodemultiple LLM providers in settings, OpenCode provider support, fallback model settings, and fixes so model lists/restarts behave during deploys.

  • Redeployone-click redeploy on an agent when you need a fresh machine without redoing the whole wizard.

Product & ops polish

  • Smoother deploy flow — fewer dead ends; fixes for timeouts, config load, “coming soon” models in the wizard, and various deployment errors.

  • Billing — fixes so active plans work correctly for deployment, and cancelled plans don’t clutter attach existing subscription.

  • Branding — we’ve aligned on DeployHermes (formerly HermesHost in places).

  • AnalyticsVercel Analytics and Datafast for understanding how the product is used.

We’re still tightening lifecycle edge cases (e.g. provisioning → fully running) and billing gates - if you’re self-hosting Hermes or trying hosted agents, we’d love your war stories in the replies.

What would you want next? (e.g. better logs, API webhooks, team seats, etc.)

Thanks for reading - and if you tried us before the terminal/memory wave, it’s worth another look.

This is shaping up nicely. I would love to see team features in the future, especially for collaboration and shared environments. That could make it even more useful for small teams.

i like the direction here. The env editor and config editor sound very practical. Not having to jump into SSH for small changes can save a lot of time

Hey Akshay 👋
This is a solid update. The addition of terminal access and agent memory feels like a big step forward. I like that you focused on things user actually asked for.

Love the focus on reliability and real user requests — terminal access + agent memory are big wins. The one-click redeploy is especially nice. Curious if better logs or debugging tools are on the roadmap next?

@combajt yeah they are, definitely want to add more such improvements
