SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Honcho memory enables AI Hermes to build a persistent user model across conversations and profiles, tying together session context, observations, and AI peers for more coherent and personalized interactions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-session memory and user representation across Hermes profiles
  • Per-profile AI peers with shared workspace and configurable observation, recall, and dialectic settings
  • Ready-to-use memory tools (honcho_profile, honcho_search, honcho_context, honcho_reasoning, honcho_conclude) to manage facts and reasoning

Quick Start

Run the hermes honcho setup to configure memory provider, then verify with hermes honcho status.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enable cross-session memory for AI conversations?

Cross-session memory is enabled by running the hermes honcho setup command to configure the memory provider, establishing a persistent backend that ties together session context, observations, and user profiles across conversations.

Can I manage multiple user profiles with shared session context?

Multiple user profiles are supported through per-profile AI peers, allowing you to configure distinct observation, recall, and dialectic settings within a shared workspace while maintaining separate persistent representations.

What tools are used for memory management and reasoning in persistent sessions?

Memory management and reasoning utilize five tools: honcho_profile, honcho_search, honcho_context, honcho_reasoning, and honcho_conclude to handle facts, search context, and maintain session strategies.

How do I check if my Honcho memory provider is configured correctly?

To check if the Honcho memory provider is configured correctly, run the hermes honcho status command after completing the initial setup to verify the backend connection and profile readiness.

Does cross-session memory work without external dependencies?

Cross-session memory relies on a Honcho-backed memory backend to function, meaning the environment requires this external provider configured during setup to maintain continuity and context budgeting across Hermes conversations.
