What it does
hermes-alice-voice lets you speak tasks to Hermes Agent by voice through Yandex Alice. A private Alice skill sends recognized text to one existing personal Telegram dialog through the stock Hermes gateway, with no SDK patches. The chain: Alice, a private skill, an HTTPS address, a local plugin, the gateway, Telegram. Alice answers only Request accepted: this confirms queuing and not the result, and the answer comes to Telegram. A working Hermes gateway, an authorized dialog, a private skill and your own HTTPS reverse proxy are needed. Manual installation: copy three files from `plugins/alice-voice/` into the plugin folder after reading the code first. Version 0.3.0, no releases, MIT license.
Who it is for. For a Hermes Agent owner who wants to give the agent tasks by voice through Alice and accepts an experimental setup for one operator.
Good fit when
- You need to give Hermes tasks by voice through Alice
- You need input into the agent's personal Telegram dialog
- You need an integration with no SDK patches
Not a fit when
- You need a multi-user or public service: the plugin is for one operator
- You need Yandex request signature checking: the plugin does not do it
Example request
Tell Alice to launch the skill and dictate a task for Hermes, then check that the answer came to the personal Telegram dialogLimitations
The integration is experimental and meant for one operator and a private skill. The plugin leaves the Yandex request signature unchecked and the secret URL plays the role of a password: keep it secret and change it on a leak. Recognized text becomes ordinary input with the rights of the Telegram session, so access is wide. Compatibility is declared as requires_hermes >=0.21.3 with no general check and concrete core files were checked by SHA-256. One operator reported a successful chain. Deduplication is kept in memory and delivery is not guaranteed exactly once.
How to disable. Remove the skill from the agent's folder or the plugin through the plugin manager.
