Hermes · Sessions
Every chat saved. Resume by name. Search anything you've ever said.
After this videoYou can now resume, rename, search, and hand off any past conversation.
Every Hermes conversation — CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, anywhere — is saved to one SQLite DB at ~/.hermes/state.db. Three flags cover almost every resume case: hermes -c (most recent), hermes -c "title" (by name), hermes -r <id> (exact). The agent's built-in session_search tool runs full-text search across every past chat — no LLM call, no token cost. /handoff telegram jumps a live conversation to your phone (same session ID). And hermes sessions list / export / delete / rename / prune covers everything else.
About these resources. Every command in this video comes from the Sessions user-guide doc. The CLI reference is cited for the full flag list on each
