Automation & Scheduling
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Daily Briefing Bot | A scheduled agent that researches topics every morning and delivers a summary to Telegram or Discord. The canonical "hello world" of Hermes automation. |
| Zero-Token Notifications | Cron jobs that only wake the LLM when something actually changed — pre-filter with a Python script, only pay for tokens on meaningful signal. |
| Intent-to-Artifacts Workflow | A personal workflow for turning rough prompts into runbooks, RSS curation, diagrams, and notes — delivered to Telegram + markdown files. |
| X Social Automation Toolset | A native Hermes plugin for X/Twitter search, account reads, trend checks, and operator-approved actions through Xquik. |
| Inbox → Slack Daily Digest | A weekday 9am cron that classifies your inbox and posts a needs-reply / FYI digest to a Slack channel. No auto-replies. |
| Sequenzy Email Marketing Agent | Use Hermes with Sequenzy skills/CLI to draft lifecycle campaigns, manage subscriber workflows, send tests, and monitor email stats. |
Messaging & Team Bots
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Team Telegram Assistant | Always-on shared bot for a small team — coding, research, ops — with per-user sessions, Docker-isolated terminal, and an allowlist. The gateway also supports Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, SMS, and more; the Telegram flow is the cleanest starting point for any of them. |
| Enterprise Messaging (Feishu / WeCom) | Production-style Hermes deployments on Chinese enterprise chat platforms — Feishu managed under launchd, WeCom with native media-and-vision analysis. |
| Voice Assistant Workflows | Three modes: CLI mic loop, voice notes in Telegram/Discord, and a Discord voice-channel bot. Same agent, same memory, voice-only I/O. |
Coding & Developer Workflows
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| GitHub PR Review (cron) | Periodic PR review without opening a webhook endpoint. Authenticated gh, a review skill, and a cron job. |
| GitHub PR Review (webhook) | Real-time PR comments via a signed GitHub webhook. End-to-end event-driven code review. |
| Production Software-Dev Workflow | A field report of daily production development on Hermes — long sessions, delegation, memory, one 12-hour run with ~2.6M replay tokens. |
| Local Model Quantization with TurboQuant | Optimize MLX models (Qwen3.5-9B) for local Apple Silicon inference using domain-specific skills — apply, benchmark, document, publish. |
| Hermes VS Code Workspace Stream | A VS Code sidebar over Hermes ACP for streaming chat, tool output, editor context, attached files, model switching, and persistent workspace sessions. |
| Function-Calling Patterns | The Hermes-Function-Calling companion repo as a pattern library — yfinance financial data, Pydantic JSON mode, GOAP scratch-pad planning, @tool registration, recursive multi-hop via --max_depth. |
Frontends & UIs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Open WebUI Frontend | Point Open WebUI at the Hermes API server to get a full browser chat frontend for the agent, with session continuity. |
| TUI Operator Console | Keyboard-first terminal HUD for managing your agent — live sessions, skills toggle, cron, logs, config editing, multiple themes. |
Home & Device Control
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Home Assistant Control | Conversational control of a smart home via four built-in HA tools — list entities, read state, call services. |
| Android Device Control | Remote phone control from a Hermes chat — 36 android_* tools for taps, swipes, screenshots, and screen reading via a relay app. |
| Hermes iOS Native Engine | A self-hosted iPhone companion with relay, connector, MCP sensor tools, voice, camera attachments, widgets, location, activity, and HealthKit context. |
| Personal AI Hub: Apple Health + Threads + Gmail + Calendar | Desktop Hermes + Telegram Topics that wires Apple Health, Threads (via open-source skill), Gmail, and Google Calendar into a single chat surface with cross-domain queries. |
Content & Creative Pipelines
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Autonovel — House of Bells | End-to-end autonomous novel, art, and audiobook production. Nous Research's own pipeline shipped a 19-chapter, 79,456-word book with an audiobook and a website. |
| Printing-Factory Task Memory | A custom skill that fixes long-context slowness and forgetting during daily factory operations. Local JSON index with sub-second retrieval. |
| Screen Recording → Tutorial Video | Feed Hermes a raw screen recording and get a finished tutorial video on HeyGen with your AI avatar — script generation, video production, and memory of preferences for repeat work. |
| ComfyUI Workflow Orchestration | Install, launch, and run ComfyUI node-based media generation workflows on demand — from Stable Diffusion to video pipelines, with automatic custom-node installation and deterministic output management. |
| AI Video Generation: HTML-to-MP4 | Hermes writes designed HTML compositions (via Open Design), then renders to MP4 via HyperFrames — GSAP animations, shader transitions, TTS narration, all code-driven with no timeline editor. |
Orchestration & Multi-Agent
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Paperclip Managed Employee | Hermes running as a worker inside Nous Research's Paperclip task-orchestration system, with persistent sessions and checkpoints. |
| Self-Evolution | A GEPA + DSPy loop that optimizes your Hermes skills, prompts, and tool text, producing PR-ready improvements for a few dollars per run. |
| Zouroboros Swarm Bridge | Hermes as one of four interchangeable executors (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Hermes) inside a third-party multi-agent orchestrator. Bash-bridge adapter pattern with shared identity. |
| Matt Pocock Skills + Sub-Agents | Use Matt Pocock's open-source skills (/grill-me, /to-prd, /to-issues) for planning and scoping, then Hermes sub-agents for parallel implementation of vertical-sliced issues — with HITL gates to stop AI slop before it ships. |
| Dynamic Skill Dojo | A monitoring and improvement loop that reads session history, ranks weak skills, proposes patches or new skills, invokes self-evolution, and reports learning progress. |
