I use #Hermes as a personal AI chief of staff and automation layer. It manages my Todoist tasks, priorities, reminders, and follow-ups; researches current news, products, apps, sports, and investments; helps monitor and run my self-hosted servers, Docker apps, backups, and media stack; organizes my bookmarks, notes, and documents; and builds workflows across APIs, webhooks, MCP servers, and scheduled jobs. It can also process things like lottery tickets, track personal data in my systems, draft messages, and handle technical troubleshooting—so I can manage a lot of personal operations through a single chat.
