Hermes Agent is an open-source personal agent from Nous Research, designed to learn from the way you work and use tools. The useful split is simple: use a prompt for a one-off job; use a standing agent when the same job needs to run again with the same rules.
These are free starting points. Give the assistant the source material, the output you want and a boundary it must not cross.
Sort new messages into reply now, delegate, schedule and archive. Ask for a one-screen queue with the sender, topic, deadline and suggested next step.
Turn the calendar, open tasks and deadlines into a realistic plan. Ask it to protect focus blocks and call out anything that cannot fit.
Collect the agenda, prior notes, recent messages and open decisions into a short briefing.
Compare options using named sources, dates and a clear decision table. Tell it to separate facts from assumptions.
Create a first draft from your facts, audience and goal, then tighten it to match your voice.
Turn promises and next steps into an owner, due date and follow-up queue.
Move approved information into a Sheet or Doc with a fixed schema and a change log.
Summarize what moved, what is stuck, decisions needed and the next week’s priorities.
Each link below opens the matching ready-made agent. Every agent includes a skill file, setup prompt and usage prompt. The price is $19 once, not a subscription.
