Hermes desktop adds pointer-targeted this disambiguation
Hermes desktop now supports pointer-targeted disambiguation: users can place the bar over a target application and say "this" instead of naming the app explicitly. The announcement states that Hermes no longer requires users to specify which application they mean when multiple programs may be open. Reporting from the post confirms the capability works on Windows, but does not describe rollout timing, supported versions, or availability on other operating systems. For builders and operators running voice-driven desktop workflows, the change could reduce friction in multi-app environments where verbal app identification was previously necessary. Evidence is limited to a single owned-news post on X, with no independent technical documentation or broader platform confirmation beyond Windows.

Key takeaway
