DOCS / SETUP

Get started.

The public Mac installer is pending. The steps below describe the current app flow and will be updated with the verified download.

1. Have a Hermes setup

Kantharos connects to supported Hermes Cloud or self-hosted instances. Your Hermes account, instance, and agents remain under your control. If you are new to Hermes, start with Hermes documentation.

2. Install Kantharos

Once the Mac build is published, download it from the download page and open the app.

3. Connect

Use the app's sign-in or connection flow to select your Hermes instance. When connected, the roster shows the bots available on that instance.

4. Open a bot

Choose a bot in the sidebar to read and send messages. Bot settings live alongside the conversation.

For connection issues, contact support@kantharos.ai. Never send passwords or API keys in a support email.
