Hermes Agent v2026.6.19 now connects to iMessage through Photon without needing a Mac relay, and joins the Raft agent network as an external gateway. The desktop app gained rebindable shortcuts, native notifications, live subagent watch-windows, VS Code theme support, and per-thread drafts. Background subagents let you delegate work and keep going. Image editing joins image_generate, automation blueprints replace cron syntax, and Cursor's Composer model works via xAI Grok subscriptions. WhatsApp now supports Meta's official Business Cloud API.
