  1. The Hook

    Engaging with the AI Agent

    โ€œ(No spoken dialogue โ€” Sustained, evolving synth pad creates an atmospheric mood, leading into a subtle high-frequency riser and a soft, percussive synth pluck.)โ€

    Telegram @ Akshay X-Researcher bot Akshay Pachaar Hi Hey! ๐Ÿ‘‹ How's it going? What can I help you with? 1:41 PM Hi 1:41 PM โœ“ What are the biggest usecases people are using Hermes agent for and sharing them on X this week?

    AI Agent Responds with Use Cases

    โ€œ(No spoken dialogue โ€” Low-frequency sub-bass impact adds weight. Main musical theme with pizzicato synths and a driving, arpeggiated synth melody establishes itself.)โ€

    Telegram @ Akshay X-Researcher bot 2. macOS + Apple Ecosystem Automation - Heavy use of Apple Skills, managing Notes, Reminders, Find My and Computer-use for desktop control. - Screenshots + background desktop automation is a big flex people are sharing. - Popular for personal productivity bots that read/write Apple Notes or handle reminders natively. 3. Creative & Media Generation Pipelines - Combining image/video gen (ComfyUI, Manim, p5.js, pixel art) with music (Suno/HeartMula) and ASCII/video tools. - One popular pattern: "idea โ†’ comic strip โ†’ animated explainer โ†’ social media post" all inside one Hermes session. - Lots of shares showing quick HTML prototypes, Excalidraw diagrams, and infographics. 4. Research & Knowledge Workflows - arXiv paper hunting + blog monitoring + Obsidian/Notion integration. - Building personal LLM wikis or running literature reviews with structured output. - People are sharing "daily research agent" setups that summarize new papers and save to their vault. 5. DevOps, Github & Code Review Automation - Github skills for issues, PR reviews (inline comments via gh), repo management. - Kanban administration for breaking down big tasks. - Several devs posting about replacing parts of their manual review process with Hermes. 6. ML/AI Tooling & Experimentation - MLOps/Model management, vLLM serving, evaluation harnesses (lm-eval) and DSPy programs. - Some niche but growing shares around abliteration (removing refusals) and local GGUF inference. Quick takeaway from this week's posts: The standout theme is "agentic orchestration" โ€“ people love how Hermes lets them chain skills. Delegate specialized sub-agents (especially for coding + creative work) while staying deeply integrated with their local machine and Apple ecosystem. Want me to dig into any specific use case or look for examples in a particular category (e.g. coding agents or creative workflows)? 1:46 PM

    Deep Dive into Use Case Examples

    โ€œ(No spoken dialogue โ€” High-energy sweep/riser intensifies, culminating in a significant sub-bass drop/impact, marking a transition. Music continues with a more pronounced beat.)โ€
