Developer alexcovoeth demoed a fun setup: his Grok bot "Ricky Bobby" now runs its own Hermes agent on a dedicated VM with 24/7 uptime, powered by grok-4.6 and built in just four minutes.
The agent handles long-running jobs (research, drafts, dashboard watching), stays reachable via Telegram, and passes work back and forth with a second agent on his Mac plus an outside reviewer agent over existing bridges. The bot introduces the upgrade in its own words—a playful showcase of nested agents and personal multi-agent teamwork.
