The Hermes Agent Series
This is the complete Hermes Agent series, in the order I recommend reading it. Start at number 1 and work your way down, or jump to whatever interests you. Each article builds on the ones before it.
The Series
- Why The First Thing You Should Do With Hermes Is Let It Interview You – The entry point. Why the best first step with an AI agent is letting it get to know you, not tweaking settings.
- How Hermes Skills Turn Your AI Agent Into A Self-Improving Assistant – What skills are, how to create them, and why they compound over time.
- Set It And Forget It: Automating Tasks With Hermes Cron Jobs – Scheduling jobs, where results go, and how to make them smarter.
- Never Start From Scratch: How Hermes Persistent Memory Remembers Who You Are – How memory works and why it means you never repeat yourself.
- How I Use Hermes Cron Jobs To Automate My Weekly Reports – A real world example: turning a Saturday chore into an automated pipeline.
- Your Hermes Journey: A Four-Part Series On Getting The Most Out Of Your AI Agent – The roundup that ties the core series together and points to what comes next.
- How I Use Hermes Agent To Run My WordPress Site From Chat – Managing this entire site from chat: posts, media, caching, and more.
- How To Keep Your Hermes Setup Safe: Backup, Checkpoints, And Recovery – The practical safety guide. Backups, checkpoints, and what to do when something breaks.
Where To Go From Here
If you are just getting started, start with article 1. If you have been through the series already, the best next step is trying something real: pick one task you do every week and let Hermes automate it. That is where the whole thing clicks.
