Description

Hermes is a desktop application capable of generating and live-rendering functional UI components via natural language. Users can 'ask' the app to build specific tools, such as system memory monitors, live sports score trackers, or custom ASCII-art webcam widgets, which are then integrated directly into the desktop workspace.

Why this is interesting: Demonstrates a sophisticated 'dynamic UI' capability where an AI-integrated OS layer can expand its own functionality…

Prompts

Prompt 1

we have tons of kebab menus in the desktop gui. and lots of awesome cool stuff we can do but we're DEFiiTELY failing teh context menu in some ways. we need to make sure that if an item has a kebab menu , the right click menu mimics it. ideally in a very DRY/KISS way pattern that can be shared across the app. 🪄 work

Prompt 2

Build me a floating desktop widget for Hermes at ~/.hermes/desktop-plugins/vitals/plugin.js — single ESM file, id vitals, title "Vitals". Live webcam rendered as ASCII, with a fake EKG under it.
