Set it up in Hermes Desktop

Begin with individual chats, then add a group when the handoffs work

Open each linked starter page and follow its manual Hermes Desktop setup steps.
Run each step in that Bot’s own chat and review the result.
Pass the approved result to the next Bot with the provided step message.
After the sequence works, create an optional group with the same Bots.
In a group, @mention the Bot you want. Membership order does not control who responds.
