The user assigns a facilitator, architect, researcher, reviewer, tech lead and a default Hermes profile that holds their main memory, then has Hermes write a design spec from the chat and turn it into cards on a Hermes kanban board, where bots can also be assigned per card. The user said the group chat never reaches a conclusion on its own — \"it always seems like the last 10% takers 90% of the time\" — so they stop the debate once the problem is analyzed and move to the spec.", "body_md": "If you use Hermes, each bot has its own profile which can be configured with soul, memory and model settings. Each bot can be the same model or different models, and you can also configure the reasoning level for each bot.\n\nYou can assign up to 6 bots to a group chat, and the soul + description will decide how they work on a given problem.\n\nFor the initial planning I normally use a facilitator, architect, researcher, reviewer, tech lead, and my default hermes profile.\n\nThe facilitator will try to keep focus on my initial idea, the architect and tech lead are the main roles for solving the problem, and the researcher and reviewer mainly function as fact-checkers. Adding the main hermes profile is useful because it holds my main memory, it means the group has to work with fewer assumptions.\n\nI don’t expect the group chat to come to a conclusion, it always seems like the last 10% takers 90% of the time. When I believe the problem has been analysed I’ll just tell hermes to write a design spec from the chat, and use that document to create the cards for the hermes kanban board.\n\nYou can also assign bots to each card on the kanban board, and they work the same way as with the group chat. I mostly just let hermes set up the kanban board, if the design doc need bots to do a special task, hermes can create new bots with the soul file to got them to fill the roles you need.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/has-anyone-else-tried-getting-two-models-to-debate-a-solution-to-a-problem", "canonical_source": "https://forum.level1techs.com/t/has-anyone-else-tried-getting-two-models-to-debate-a-solution-to-a-problem/259116#post_6", "published_at": "2026-10-22 20:14:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-22 20:41:12.517319+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["Hermes"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/has-anyone-else-tried-getting-two-models-to-debate-a-solution-to-a-problem", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/has-anyone-else-tried-getting-two-models-to-debate-a-solution-to-a-problem.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/has-anyone-else-tried-getting-two-models-to-debate-a-solution-to-a-problem.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/has-anyone-else-tried-getting-two-models-to-debate-a-solution-to-a-problem.jsonld"}}
