EDGE | AGENCY / AI AUTOMATION SPECIALISTS

A whole AI team.
Right on your desktop.

Free, privacy-conscious research and drafting for Windows, orchestrated by a Coordinator that directs Scout, Builder and Reviewer. Use Ollama or OpenRouter directly; Hermes is optional for tool-enabled work. The app never downloads models or sends prompts automatically.

01 LOCAL OLLAMA AUTO-CONNECT · V0.7.1

Use a model you already have.
Keep inference on your PC.

On desktop, the 0.7.1 checks for installed Ollama models at startup and selects an available model when auto-connect is on. You can switch the option off. It never installs a model or submits a prompt on its own. If no local model is installed, choose another direct provider such as OpenRouter; existing model choices are preserved when available. Hermes is not a fallback.

Direct local inference. Select an installed Ollama model under Task Model. Ollama runs at 127.0.0.1:11434; this route bypasses the separate Hermes bridge.

LOCAL OLLAMA SETUP

Three steps to your first model.

ON DEVICE
  1. 01
    Install and open Ollama

    Use the official Windows installer, then leave Ollama running on this PC.

    Install Ollama ↗
  2. 02
    Install one model sized for your PC

    Choose a model from the Ollama library. In PowerShell, use ollama pull <model-name> and wait for the download to finish.

    Browse models ↗
  3. 03
    Let the desktop app find it

    With auto-connect enabled, the 0.7.1 checks for installed models on startup and selects one that is available. Turn the setting off whenever you prefer to choose manually.

No Hermes adapter or model API key is needed for this direct local route. Model requirements depend on your hardware and the model you choose.
QUICK RECOVERY

Model not showing up?

  1. Check Ollama is open. Install it for Windows and start it before detecting models.
  2. Check that a model is installed. Run ollama list; if the list is empty, choose a model from the Ollama library and install it.
  3. Detect again. Click Detect local Ollama. If no model appears, confirm it is installed and Ollama is running, then retry.
L
Direct local Ollama

On the desktop app, 0.7.1 can select an already-installed Ollama model at startup. OpenRouter is available as a separate direct provider; Hermes is never an automatic fallback.

H
Optional: Hermes delegation

Open Bridge setup or choose Need Hermes delegation instead? Enter your adapter’s local address, such as http://127.0.0.1:4178, then select Test. The adapter must provide GET /health and accept POST /v1/orchestra/tasks. Use its actual port; remote Hermes URLs are rejected. If Test fails, confirm the adapter is running and the port is correct; check its /health route.

02 A QUIETER WAY TO WORK

Stay in the loop.
Keep the final say.

Research notes, drafts, and suggestions stay visible and reviewable. Start with local Ollama; choose the optional Hermes route only when you want delegation.

04 0.7.1 · FREE WINDOWS DOWNLOAD

Test the refreshed
desktop companion.

0.7.1 teaches the team to take big jobs. Composer routes one instruction into a single task, a parallel fan-out across agents, or a batch file job. The Run Board shows every run live — who is working, who is blocked, and what needs your call — with hard budget caps enforced in code, so a run pauses at its cap instead of overspending. Bring your own model key (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, xAI, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, Together) or run fully local with Ollama. Choose x64 for Intel/AMD PCs or ARM64 for Windows on ARM. Setup is per-user and needs no administrator access. The browser extension is a separate ZIP. Coming next: the free 0.7.2 patch adds a visible approval pop-up, so a gated plan asks for your go-ahead on screen before anything runs — plus an in-app update notice, so the app itself tells you when a new version is out.

05 ON THE ROADMAP
V2 · IN DEVELOPMENT

More voice.
More environments.

V2 is in development now. It turns the floating head into a conversational voice companion — talk to Roboto, he talks back, and you can hand him work by voice. Delegated agents work in pop-up sandbox environments you can watch live, and gated actions surface a visible approval pop-up, so nothing sensitive happens off-screen. Scout goes further: name the sites, and an agent reads them inside hard limits it shows you up front — same site only, page caps, robots rules honored — then brings back a table and a brief you can check against the source pages. Watchers re-check pages you pick on a schedule and tell you what changed; they run while the app is open, and say when they last checked. Packs turn any finished job into a client-ready pack — a summary document plus the results table, in Markdown and CSV, in one click. A Scores screen lets you save a job that worked and re-run it in one action, and Council Mode lets the agents deliberate a big call in the open, against a consensus bar, before anything moves. Underneath it all, an eval and tracing harness keeps every run measurable. The approval pop-up also arrives sooner, in the free 0.7.2 patch. Mobile remains a planned direction only: Android for true floating-head support; iOS would use system surfaces such as Dynamic Island / Live Activities and wallpaper experiences, not a permanent overlay.

06 GOOD TO KNOW

A few things
before you start.

Can’t find the answer? Ask the Robot Orchestra head in the corner, or email EDGE | AGENCY.

[email protected]
Do I need Hermes to use Robot Orchestra?

No. Auto mode uses direct Ollama or OpenRouter model routes; Hermes is a separate, optional mode for tool-enabled work. Install an Ollama model first if you want local inference. The app never downloads models or submits prompts automatically.

What does “local-first” mean here?

Robot Orchestra stores its Brain data on your PC, while each task uses the model route you choose. Ollama and OpenRouter are direct routes; Hermes is an explicitly selected optional bridge. Browser and Knowledge context are off until you opt in.

Can I scan a browser page?

The Chrome/Edge companion supports user-triggered, bounded site scanning. Review the captured text first; page text is not sent to a model until you explicitly include it. The browser side panel is optional to the desktop download.

Why might Windows show a warning?

The 0.7.1 installers are unsigned, so SmartScreen may show a warning. Compare the architecture-specific SHA-256 on this page or in SHA256SUMS.txt. The extension ZIP is a separate download.

Is the V2 expansion available now?

No. V2 is in development and is not a current offer; it will be $8.99 one time when it launches. The current Windows desktop app and 0.7.1 are free; this page has no checkout. Mobile directions remain planned only.
