Dev Shares Hermes Agent Workflow: Background AI That Handles All the Busywork
ayushtweetshere · x · 2026-09-01
The author runs Hermes on his VPS as a background agent: it reads newsletters, scans competitors, curates articles into daily Kindle books, downloads Zoom recordings, uploads them unlisted to YouTube, pulls transcripts, and turns them into TickTick action items.
His thesis: the best AI agent isn't an app you open every morning, but one that quietly works in the background and surfaces only what needs your attention. Extending this to email — the ideal agent reads everything first, filters noise, ranks importance, and hands you the few things that matter, not a Gmail-style inbox you keep checking (which Google is ad-incentivized to do poorly).
