Hermes agent voice mode lets you talk to your AI agent out loud — and it actually does the work. You switch on real-time voice, speak a command, and Hermes opens apps, builds things, answers back, and runs tasks, hands-free. Here's what voice mode is, the two modes it has, and how to turn it on.

What Is Hermes Agent Voice Mode?
Hermes agent voice mode is real-time, spoken control of your Hermes agent — the version I run is called Hermes Jarvis. Flip on real-time mode, and you can literally say "are you there?" and it replies out loud, then carry on giving it commands. It's not just a voice assistant that answers questions; it takes action — opening apps, controlling your computer, and building tools while you talk. For the full Jarvis breakdown, see our Hermes voice agent guide.
Real-Time Mode vs Agent Mode
Voice mode gives you two options depending on what you need:
- Real-time (ultra-fast) mode — inside Hermes Jarvis, this responds instantly. Say "open Google" or "open Obsidian" and it happens right away. Best for quick, live commands.
- Agent mode — more powerful and works in the background. This is where you hand it bigger tasks ("open Notes and write a quick note," or a longer job) and it plans and executes while you carry on.
You choose which mode fits the moment — instant back-and-forth, or heavier background work.

What You Can Do With Hermes Voice Mode
- Control your computer by voice — open apps, websites and files just by asking.
- Build in real time — say "build a snake game" and watch it create it while you talk.
- Have it talk back — it responds out loud, so it's a genuine conversation, not a text box.
- Run it hands-free — perfect when you're away from the keyboard and want the agent working.

How To Turn On Hermes Agent Voice Mode
The simplest route is the Agent OS, where Hermes Jarvis is already wired in with voice built on top of the real Hermes agent (so it has tool access and computer use, not just chat). You switch on real-time mode, choose real-time or agent mode, and start talking. If you're setting Hermes up from scratch, you enable voice and connect a speech provider — but the done-for-you version removes all of that.
Get Hermes Voice Mode In The Agent OS
Voice mode is at its best inside a full system. In the Agent Operating System inside the AI Profit Boardroom, Hermes Jarvis voice mode is connected to shared memory, a studio, computer use and your other agents — so when you talk to it, it already knows your business. You also get the setup guide and four weekly coaching calls. → Join AIPB.
