Projects

A project is a folder for one thing you’re working on, like “ETH staking ladder” or “Airdrop research”. It has its own chats, its own instructions that Hermit follows in every one of those chats, and its own files. All of it stays on your device.

Make one

1. Open Projects from the sidebar (the menu on iPhone) and tap New.
2. Give it a name, an optional description, and pick a kind. The kind only sets the icon.
3. Tap Create.

Inside a project

The project page has a chat box at the top (“Start a chat in …”) and three tabs.

Chats lists the project’s chats. Anything you send from the box at the top starts a new one here.

Instructions is a short note Hermit reads at the start of every chat in this project. Tap Edit, write the goal, the rules and how you want replies, then Save. For example:

# ETH staking ladder

Goal: split 2 ETH across three staking options.
Only suggest audited protocols. Keep replies short, numbers first.

Which of these pays the most right now?

You see

• Looking up yields

An answer that follows the project’s instructions, without you repeating them.

Files holds files you add to the project with Add files. They’re copied into Hermit and stay on this device.

From the chat box

In the chat box, tap +, then Project, and pick one before you send your first message. A small bar under the box shows the project’s name, and the new chat goes into it. Tap the × on that bar to take it out again.

A chat stays in the project it started in. Inside it, a link at the top takes you back to the project.

Rename or delete

Use the project’s menu (or right-click it in the grid) for Rename and Delete.

When you delete a project, its chats move to Recents, so you don’t lose them. Its files and instructions are removed.
