Which agentic AI have y'all found to be the best on iOS thus far? I'm noticing I still need to be on my computer to complete certain browser tasks with GPT. Grok seems a bit better in that regard, and perhaps Claude. But I haven't had the time to do enough testing to verify these hypotheses.

@Rosalyn Hermes Agent, if you have a space to host it and the willingness to maintain it.

Rosalyn Anne @Rosalyn@mindly.social

@fastfinge I just might. Hmmmm. Thanks for the tip. :) I've seen that one around but hadn't looked into it yet.

@Rosalyn The good thing about it is you can customize it to meet your exact needs. The bad thing about it is you have to customize it to meet your exact needs. There are always tradeoffs. :-)

@fastfinge @Rosalyn Howdy Sam he am. Did you take a digital/social media breaky? Not seen you out here in a few.

@Lino0876 @Rosalyn Nah. I had a family member rushed to the hospital with dizzyness and trouble breathing. All is well now, but things were pretty chaotic for a while there.

@fastfinge @Rosalyn Oh shit! Tht was scary I'm sure.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@Lino0876 @Rosalyn Yup! Once we knew what was wrong, and that it could be treated, things were much better though. But still, dealing with hospitals is never fun, either for the sick person, or anyone else who needs to be involved.

@fastfinge @Rosalyn Trust me I know. I've lost count how many times my wife has called EMS for my mother inlaw in the past 5 plus years.

@fastfinge In other words, know the cost before my ADHD brain commits. Got it. Lol.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦 @fastfinge@interfree.ca

@Rosalyn Yup. And maybe figure out one function you want to get working, or one task you want to complete, and focus on that. As with anything that has a million plugins and extensions, it's easy to try and do everything all at once, and then end up with everything half working. My Hermes handles hundreds of little things for me at this point, but I added them one by one. Happy to answer questions as they come up. Maybe start with deciding what chat app you want to use to communicate with Hermes (discord? miranda? IRC? iMessage?) and get that working. Then give it an email address as well, because forwarding an agent emails and saying "handle this" is really useful.
