A cleaner path

One brain. One body.
No extra agent in the middle.

Reachy handles the physical world. Hermes handles thinking, memory, and tools. The harness translates between them over Hermes’ API.

Senses + movement Reachy Mini

Microphone, speaker, camera, head, and antennas.

Reachy Hermes harness
Reasoning + action Hermes Agent

Your model, sessions, memory, skills, and connected tools.

No OpenClaw relay

Your conversation goes straight from the Reachy harness to the Hermes Responses API. There is no second agent impersonating the first.

01

Hermes stays the brain

Reachy gets the same agent identity, conversation, and tools you already use.

02

Reachy feels alive

Speech, camera looks, attentive movement, and voice-reactive motion live in one robot-native app.

03

You stay in control

The microphone starts off. Status, transcript, setup, and connection checks are all visible in one panel.

About five minutes

From install to first conversation.

Three focused steps. No OpenClaw gateway or account required.

  1. 1
    Install

    Add Reachy Hermes

    Install the app on your Reachy Mini, then open its control panel from the Reachy dashboard.

  2. 2
    Connect

    Add your services

    Add Hermes and your speech services. No separate panel token is required on a trusted local network.

  3. 3
    Talk

    Test, then enable voice

    Confirm Hermes is reachable. Send a text first, then switch on the microphone when you’re ready.

The result

Your agent can finally look you in the eye.

Use text or voice, include a camera look when it helps, and see the full live transcript in the same calm control panel.

One important safety note

Your Hermes API key may unlock real tools.

Treat the key like access to the agent itself, including any accounts and actions connected to it. Keep Reachy on a trusted network and only enable voice around people you trust.
