5 days, 5 agents. day 1: vega, my ai chief of staff. my inbox is sorted before i'm up, anything urgent lands on my phone, and every evening tomorrow's prospecting messages are drafted. what would you want done before you sat down?

i already struggled to keep up when switching between tools. with ai i'm even more overwhelmed by notifications. i'm trying to build something custom for myself to centralize it. has anyone found a way that works?

When the hermes agent that makes update to the app is accessible within the app 🤯

the hard part of writing is the blank page. starting from an idea i already saved and adding my angle is so much easier. do you start from a blank page or from something you saved?

i didn't want an app that writes my posts. i wanted an agent that interviews me. so i built one and called her plume. 19 posts in 8 days, a few failed, still fixing. would you use an agent like that?

What I love about Hermes is that you can build anything on top of it. I prefer custom UIs to terminal but the desktop didn't work the way I wanted in terms of profiles. Here is my custom version.
Friendly reminder that Hermes was never built or intended to be exclusively for the "personal assistant" agent that can just read your emails and nothing else. I fully intend and have plainly stated many times that I always built hermes to be the most powerful AI Agent. "Normie" consumers can leverage that and we do what we can to make it an experience they can approach (the mobile app will be almost exclusively focused on consumer) - but they are not our only demographic. I want the scientists, the cybersecurity engineers, the developers, the knowledge workers, the creatives, and everyone else to be able to have an agent that they can leverage that is maximally useful to them too. Not just your mom. (She called btw you need to make your bed)

i keep using the same agent whether codex or claude is behind it. the model is the part i swap, the system is the part i keep. what's the part of your setup you'd never swap?

everything looks like "AI did it" when you only look at the result. most of the workflow was probably just code. what's the step in yours that never needed AI?

Quels canaux vous utilisez pour parler à vos agents? - J'avais tout sur slack et j'ai détesté Sur l'ordi: - Hermes desktop Pas d'ordi: - J'ai ma gestion de VPS sur telegram et je vais surement y mettre mon Dev - création de contenu et admin sur iMessage (deux profils différents) C'est quoi votre setup?

i never decided to become an entrepreneur. i caught it from my clients. who did you catch it from?

your agent won't get it right on the first try, and that's normal. how many rounds did it take before you did?

I'm talking to Hermes who spawned a Paseo agent through CLI who is using Railway's CLI to set up a DB + CMS 😆

one agent = one role. what does your AI team look like?

Most people will enjoy AI when it becomes available through channels they already use. A lot more of iMessage app are coming. Also what happened to modelcontextprotocol.io/exte…? chat + this would be dope
I'm becoming so MCP-pilled that I'm really starting to question... do we need an interface anymore? For SaaS products that are essentially plumbing / routing, there will come a time where the UI is optional.

We have a portuguese poutine in Montreal and its 🔥
He's right, the only good Portuguese food is grilled fish and it's just a fish on a grill with some salt put on Portuguese that stay in Portugal have low standards and they don't have the money to travel far so they're in this vicious cycle where they think their food is great but they don't have anything to compare it with International food is okay to bad here especially in Lisbon due to a shortage of workers so most of the kitchen is Nepalese and usually unskilled There's a few exceptions like Honest Greens but it's by foreigners If Portuguese food was so great, there'd be Portuguese restaurants around the world but it's not and there's not. Just like how there's no Dutch restaurants, it's just not good food

I spent a week building: - an agent I can iMessage - a nugget library connected to a publishing platform - a system to turn ideas into posts I’ve published two posts. The system works. Technically.
