Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Marc installed Hermes Agent from Nous Research as a chat interface. He added more than 50 capabilities himself, such as email triage, daily briefings, calendar and task planning, meeting notes, and research radars. He built a custom MCP server that gave the agent direct interaction with his task, project, client, and invoice system rather than treating it as disconnected data.

  2. How it went

    The agent became an operating layer across Marc's work, research, personal organisation and family life within 15 days. He documented the day-by-day changes in a public timeline.

  3. Worth knowing

    The full day-by-day timeline link is included in the original post.

Example prompts

Try with Hermes Agent
Set yourself up as my personal assistant. First, triage my inbox each morning into [urgent / needs reply / FYI], then write a short daily briefing with today's calendar and a suggested plan for my time. Finish when I have a working morning briefing for [my email and calendar], and show me any reply or calendar change before you send it.
