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.
