#68 How I Hermes

I share how I use Hermes Agent daily as a customizable, always-on assistant that lives on a remote server and talks to me via Telegram. From coding on the go and reactive reminders, to job monitoring, calendar automation, flight search via a CLI, writing prep, and early stabs at fitness coaching, I explain why Hermes clicked for me—especially its cron-based reminders and automatic skill creation—while acknowledging the tinkering and security trade-offs.
