Hermes agent has a section called tools. This is where the "Web & Search" and also the "Browser" option is given. Where you get to use the external tools and APIs specific to the browser automation is being offered.
I recently did the connection of Hermes Agent with the Browserbase. You can check out my setup with the Browserbase and the Hermes agent for automating the browser.
BrowserBase a cloud service for data extraction, which makes it easy for you to automate browser using AI API. This makes it easy for you to do the data extraction, automation testing, screenshots and the PDF export.
In short here's how you set it up.
Method 1: Open Hermes agent tools section. Add the browserbase API by accessing the "Web and Search" options and then ask normally to do your automation, data extraction and other tasks.
Method 2: Another option is that Hermes Agent can read the .env file. Where the API key can be stored. And let the Hermes agent watch that particular file and then use it for the automation.
I am using the method 2 for the API which are not supported by the Hermes agent officially. And this would be possible for the development of small scripts to the apps. It makes sense to use the API the right way depending on how you plan code.
Browserbase is pretty handy and they have decent free limit for the API too. So if you are trying to use it for browser automation and the scraping it's worth exploring.
