SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Honcho addresses the need for persistent, cross‑session user modeling and memory isolation across multiple Hermes profiles, eliminating fragmented context and manual state management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross‑session user memory: Continuously learns about the user across conversations.
  • Multi‑profile peer isolation: Each Hermes profile gets its own AI peer while sharing a unified user view.
  • Configurable observation & recall: Fine‑tune what is remembered and how it’s accessed via hybrid, context, or tool modes.
  • Use case example: A trader using separate Hermes profiles for equities and crypto can retain distinct AI personalities while sharing the same user profile, enabling personalized insights without losing overall context.

Quick Start

Ask Hermes to set up Honcho for your profile by saying “Set up Honcho for my profile”.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up cross-session memory for Hermes agents?

To set up cross-session memory for Hermes agents, ask Hermes to configure Honcho by saying “Set up Honcho for my profile.” This integrates the honcho-ai Python package to enable persistent user modeling across conversations.

What is cross-session user memory and how does it work?

Cross-session user memory continuously learns about a user across separate conversations to eliminate fragmented context. It works by maintaining a unified user view while isolating distinct AI peers for each Hermes profile.

Can I use separate Hermes profiles for different asset classes while sharing the same user context?

Yes, you can use separate Hermes profiles for different asset classes while sharing the same user context. Multi-profile peer isolation gives each profile its own AI personality while retaining a unified user view for personalized insights.

What recall modes are available for configuring user memory observations?

Available recall modes for configuring user memory observations include hybrid, context, and tool modes. These allow you to fine-tune what user information is remembered and how it is accessed during Hermes agent sessions.

Does Honcho memory support both cloud and self-hosted deployments?

Yes, Honcho memory supports both cloud and self-hosted deployments. This flexibility allows you to choose your preferred infrastructure environment when configuring cross-session memory for Hermes agents in finance workflows.

Why use cross-session memory instead of manual state management in finance workflows?

Cross-session memory eliminates the need for manual state management by automatically persisting user context across conversations. This prevents fragmented context loss, enabling continuous personalized insights in finance and research workflows.
