The author told Hermes, a locally-run AI agent, that he was procrastinating on bookkeeping. The agent scanned his entire system — other computers, email, hard drives — and surfaced 90% of what he needed in 5 minutes, all running locally over Actual.
A striking demo of local agents combining cross-device search with contextual task completion, no cloud involved.
