    I was tinkering with Telegram and Hermes, but it got awkward as soon as I added a second bot. Discord turned out to be the answer. It has channels and threads, and threads cap how much conversation a bot carries in its context. Telegram has threads too, but they don't work out of the box and the UX is clunky.

    With Discord sorted, I set up a server with two bots, Daedalus and Icarus, named after the AIs in Deus Ex video game. Daedalus runs on GLM and orchestrates the long-horizon work. Icarus runs on something faster and cheaper for quick jobs, which keeps him safely away from the sun 🌞.

    Building an Agent Team with Hermes

    Nowadays AI are giving you less freedom. You get one model, one way of working that works fine until you need a fast model for drafting and a precise one for code review, and you're stuck switching between tabs. I started using Hermes Agents because I wanted control over which models run where. ChatGPT's one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work when you need different tools for different jobs. Hermes lets me keep agents in separate profiles, each with its own model and provider. I can switch between Llama for quick drafts and GPT-Sol for precision mid-conversation. It also creates skills by itself, reusable routines that learn from context. When I was revising my resumé, Hermes created a skill that understood my background as an AI Engineer and caught things I'd miss alone. The tradeoff however is simplicity. Hermes has a steeper learning curve than ChatGPT. But once you set up separate profiles for writing, code review, and analysis, it's worth the cost. If you're tired of one-tool-fits-all, try building your own agent team.
