One command gives your Hermes agent social intelligence. It decides when to speak, adapts to your group's tone and remembers who said what. Works in group chats on Slack, Telegram and WhatsApp.
What is Humalike? The behavioral infrastructure for humanlike AI agents. The social skills your agents have been missing.
Today we're shipping the fastest way to feel what that means: a plugin that makes your Hermes agent fit in 1-1's / groups.
The problem We run Hermes agents in our own Slack and Telegram. Brilliant at tasks. Painful to use in groups and treat is as a companion. It answered every single message, talked over people, spammed 10 lines when one was enough. Everyone knew it was a bot instantly. That's not a model problem, it's a behavior problem.
- What the plugin does: Decides, when to jump in and when to stay quiet - Paces replies like a human: typing speed, pauses, 1-3 short messages instead of a wall - Learns how your group talks and matches the tone - Remembers who people are and what matters to them
One command to install. Works in group chats on Slack, Telegram & WhatsApp.

A suggestion from someone who works with voice agents a lot: it would be great to see a turn-taking or interruption handling module exposed through the API. Right now most stacks handle barge-in in a pretty mechanical way, so a behavioral layer that knows when to pause, yield, or gently hold the floor would be a really meaningful addition.
the 'decides when to speak' bit is the whole game imo. most agents in a group chat have zero restraint and just talk over everyone
Congrats on the launch! The behavior layer being separate from the model is interesting. Everyone tunes what the agent says, few teams touch when it should shut up. Are you guys biasing it toward silence by default? Socially that feels right, but the failure mode I'd worry about is probably the false negative, the message it should've jumped on and skipped instead
I appreciate that this tackles a problem many developers notice after deployment. Technical accuracy alone rarely creates comfortable interactions. Will there be tools for testing personality consistency before releasing agents?
The turn-taking API is the part that got me. Knowing when to stay silent is honestly the harder problem than knowing what to say. Curious how you handle group dynamics where multiple people are typing at once, does the model factor in who's been most active? Congrats on the launch, excited to see where this goes!
I've been thinking about this a lot lately , AI keeps getting smarter, but not necessarily better at interacting with people . Love that Humalike is focusing on the behavioral layer. Feels like a missing piece for truly useful AI agents.
Congrats @mcarmonas & team. What was the main challenge you wanted to solve when building Humalike?
Hey!! Maks here, Founding Engineer at Humalike.
All you need to give your agent social intelligence is one command, that's it. First credits are on us :))

Feel free to ask any questions. I'm here to help :))
Hello PH, I'm Mateusz co-founder and CTO @ Humalike. I will be active here to answer any question! 🙋♂️
We've been dogfooding Hermes x Humalike plugin for 2 weeks now. Here are few use-cases where I see the most potential:
Gangprompting
Personal assistant (like Poke)
Agent for personal group - friend or family
It's possible thanks to our internal research team combined with extreme speed of our engineering. We would love to hear your feedback!
SOC 2 in progress 🔒
Hey everyone, I’m Mateusz, founding researcher at Humalike.
This launch is an easy way to see our work in action.
We help the Hermes agent:
know when to speak,
fit naturally into a group,
behave less like a bot.
Excited to see how Hermes users experience it.
Hey! Ignacio here, Founding Product Engineer at Humalike.
We encourage you to integrate humalike into your Hermes agent and watch it's performance improve immediately in social scenarios. Trust me, you won't want to go back to your old agent behaviour. ;)
