What is Minions?

Editorial review
Minions Mission Control is a Kanban-style task dashboard designed for users of the Hermes AI Agent. It addresses the challenges of managing multiple, long-running autonomous agent tasks by providing a centralized interface to create, supervise, and review work. Instead of juggling terminal sessions and losing track of agent progress, Minions offers a visual overview of all tasks, categorizing them by status like 'in progress,' 'blocked,' or 'ready for review.' The tool enhances agent autonomy with 'heartbeat check-ins,' where the Hermes agent periodically reports progress, retries stuck tasks, and only requests human intervention when truly necessary. This human-in-the-loop approach ensures that agents propose completions for review, requiring user sign-off before tasks are marked as done. Minions is ideal for Hermes power users, indie founders, and anyone delegating research, operations, writing, or coding tasks to their AI agent, providing visibility and control over complex, delegated workflows. It offers features like live streaming of agent activity, per-task model control, and visibility into scheduled jobs, making it easier to manage and scale AI-driven operations. The product can be run locally with SQLite, ensuring data privacy and no cloud dependency, and is built using React, Vite, and an Express server interacting with the Hermes AI Agent.

Minions FAQ

What is the underlying technology stack used for Minions Mission Control?

Minions is built with a React and Vite frontend, an Express server for HTTP and SSE communication, and a Python worker that interacts with the Hermes AI Agent. It uses a local SQLite database to store task metadata, status, heartbeat history, and per-task settings, while chat transcripts reside in Hermes's session database.

How does Minions ensure that an AI agent doesn't get stuck indefinitely on a task?

Minions implements 'heartbeat check-ins' where the Hermes agent periodically reports its progress. If the agent is stuck, it's prompted to retry with a different approach. It will only ask for human help after genuinely exhausting alternatives, at which point the task moves to a 'Needs your help' status on the Kanban board.

Can I use Minions to manage AI agents other than Hermes?

Currently, Minions is designed specifically for the Hermes AI Agent. While an adapter interface exists for other agents, support for OpenClaw is planned as the next integration, but other agents are not yet supported.

What kind of information does Minions store locally, and what does Hermes Agent manage?

Minions stores task metadata, status, heartbeat history, and per-task settings in a local SQLite database. The actual chat transcripts and session data are managed and stored within Hermes Agent's session database.
