LOCAL OLLAMA SETUP

Three steps to your first model.

ON DEVICE
  1. 01
    Install and open Ollama

    Use the official Windows installer, then leave Ollama running on this PC.

    Install Ollama ↗
  2. 02
    Install one model sized for your PC

    Choose a model from the Ollama library. In PowerShell, use ollama pull <model-name> and wait for the download to finish.

    Browse models ↗
  3. 03
    Detect local models in Robot Orchestra

    Click Detect local models. One installed model is selected automatically; if several are found, choose the one you want.

No Hermes adapter or model API key is needed for this direct local route. Model requirements depend on your hardware and the model you choose.
QUICK RECOVERY

Model not showing up?

  1. Check Ollama is open. Install it for Windows and start it before detecting models.
  2. Check that a model is installed. Run ollama list; if the list is empty, choose a model from the Ollama library and install it.
  3. Detect again. Click Detect local models. If Ollama is still unavailable, restart Ollama and Robot Orchestra, then retry.
L
Recommended: local Ollama

Send inference directly to Ollama on this PC. This route does not use Hermes or delegate tasks.

H
Optional: Hermes delegation

Open Bridge setup or choose Need Hermes delegation instead? Enter your adapter’s local address, such as http://127.0.0.1:4178, then select Test. The adapter must provide GET /health and accept POST /v1/orchestra/tasks. Use its actual port; remote Hermes URLs are rejected. If Test fails, confirm the adapter is running and the port is correct; check its /health route.

02 A QUIETER WAY TO WORK

Stay in the loop.
Keep the final say.

Research notes, drafts, and suggestions stay visible and reviewable. Start with local Ollama; choose the optional Hermes route only when you want delegation.

05 ON THE ROADMAP
PLANNED V2 EXPANSION

More voice.
More environments.

The planned V2 expansion adds a richer voice companion and a multi-environment view. Mobile remains platform-specific: Android is the direction for true floating-head support; iOS would use system surfaces such as Dynamic Island / Live Activities and wallpaper experiences, not a permanent overlay.

  • ✳ Multi-environment agent view

06 GOOD TO KNOW

A few things
before you start.

Can’t find the answer? Ask the Robot Orchestra head in the corner, or email EDGE | AGENCY.

Do I need Hermes to use Robot Orchestra?

No. The recommended V1 setup is local Ollama: install and open Ollama, install a model, then select Detect local models. One detected model is selected automatically; if several are installed, choose one. Hermes is optional for delegated tasks.

What does “local-first” mean here?

The desktop app and its Brain data are local-first. A task is sent through the route you select. With direct Ollama, inference calls your local Ollama service. With Hermes delegation, your adapter/provider may process the task; share browser or Knowledge context only when you opt in.

Can I scan a browser page?

The Chrome/Edge companion supports user-triggered, bounded site scanning. Review the captured text first; page text is not sent to a model until you explicitly include it. The browser side panel is optional to the desktop download.

Why might Windows show a warning?

Release 0.6.0’s Windows installer is unsigned. SmartScreen may warn when you run it. Download only from the official GitHub release and compare the SHA-256 shown on this page if you choose to verify it; v0.6.0 does not attach a separate checksum file.

Is the $8.99 V2 expansion available now?

No. $8.99 is the planned one-time V2 price, not a current offer. The Windows 0.6.0 download is free, and this page has no checkout. Mobile directions are planned only: Android floating-head support; iOS Dynamic Island / Live Activities and wallpaper experiences.
