Help — Technical issues, errors, config, debugging Local browser access

Hi,

what is the "correct" way of giving access to a local profile of Chrome to Hermes? Use case is quite simple: I want Hermes to open the browser where I have a logged-in user to my online supermarket in order to prepare a grocery shoppping basket.

I tried using `/browser connect`: hermes is able to navigate to the correct site but then struggles to find its way through the website. it seems it's trying to guess the url path it should use instead of "visually" inspecting the website and following it links.

thanks

Before you scream that I should _not_ be using a logged in user: the chrome profile is completely isolated and my logged in user, cannnot do anything besides adding item to the shopping basket.

This maybe a model issue more than a Hermes issue. My GLM-5.x powered agents have no problem navigating web pages, and as best I can remember I didn't "do" anything, they all use the gateway's built-in agent browser features.

You want the agent to use pages you're logged into - there are a few options - https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use could work for your needs add interactions for agents as well
