Herald OS An agent-native operating system, with Hermes Agent as the interface. Herald OS is an operating system built around an AI agent. Instead of working through menus and folders yourself, you talk or type to Hermes, and it works across the whole machine: it opens apps, finds and organises files, watches what is running, remembers what matters to you, runs routines on a schedule, and builds software while you watch. Every action that changes something goes through a

permission system you control.

On its first start it adds its system tools to Hermes ( ). macOS asks for each of these the first time a feature needs it: **Microphone**: talking to Hermes, dictation, and screen recordings with sound. **Camera**: the camera bubble on a screen recording, when you turn it on. **Screen Recording**: asking Hermes about the screen, copying text or a QR code from

it, screenshots and screen recordings. Without it, Herald OS captures nothing and says where to turn it on (System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording); reopen Herald OS after switching it on. **Accessibility and Automation**: typing an emoji or dictation into another app (through System Events), and Hermes listing or quitting apps, locking the screen, switching dark mode and moving files to the Trash (through Finder).
