How do I enable cross-session memory for Hermes profiles?

Cross-session memory for Hermes is enabled by running the setup command to configure Honcho, which establishes per-profile AI peers and persistent context across conversations using a honcho.json configuration file.

What is cross-session user modeling and when do I need it?

Cross-session user modeling provides persistent memory and shared context across multiple conversations. It is needed when managing multi-profile Hermes deployments where each profile requires its own AI peer with a unified user view.

Can I tune recall and observation settings for individual Hermes profiles?

Yes, recall, observation, and dialectic settings can be tuned per-profile. Honcho exposes tools like honcho_profile, honcho_search, and honcho_context to manage these configurations for multi-agent workflows.

Does Honcho memory support both cloud and local Hermes deployments?

Honcho memory supports both cloud and local deployment setups. Per-profile configuration via honcho.json allows flexible memory management across different environments for Hermes sessions.

How do I troubleshoot memory recall issues in a multi-profile Hermes setup?

Memory recall issues are troubleshooted using Honcho's exposed tools, specifically honcho_search and honcho_context, to inspect and verify per-profile session data, per-directory configurations, and global session settings.
