Hermes Agent Automation Blueprints: Build ANYTHING!

**Julian Goldie** (0:00)
Hermes Agent have a brand new Automations Blueprint setup that means you can turn scheduled tasks into clickable, fillable conversational workflows in like one single click. So this is a new automation blueprints update for Hermes Agent. This just dropped a few hours ago, as you can see. And essentially what this means is there are separate templates that you can build directly with Hermes Agent. So we actually tested out one today, set up in like one single click, you can see over here. And you can also organize them with different agents.
And basically what this means essentially is with automation blueprints, a scheduled task becomes a workflow that anyone can build, which is pretty amazing in itself. So for example, we could say Monday 9am, Hermes is going to create this. And then it's using the automation templates, which you've got on this section. And they're super easy to set up. So I'll show you an example of what we actually did today using what I call the Hermes automation engine. So you can set up an engine and an agent that works for you 24-7, even whilst you're not online. And so for example, what we've got here is set up where we can take a schedule task, like you can see, and then plug it into our AI agents.
And so for example, there's all sorts of development workflows you can get with this. So we've got a trigger for a schedule nightly, and then you see the setup, you can literally just copy and paste this into your Hermes agent, and then set up the workflow. And anything that needs to configure, for example, like an API, it will just quickly come back to you. So the one that we actually set up, which I think is actually probably the most useful, was the research and intelligence workflow. And there's two down here. So there's one where you can actually monitor your competitors, and the other one is the AI News Digest. So that's something that I do every single day. And so one it does essentially is we copy this text, and we can use this blueprint, and then we plug it into Hermes agent. So if we go to Hermes agent here, you can see inside the chat, we can plug this into any of our different profiles, which is pretty amazing in itself. And then if we go into, for example, the manage section here, and we check the schedule tasks that we've created, you can see here that we have that weekly AI Digest, the one that comes from the Hermes blueprint templates. So the benefits of this is that it saves you time, it's easy to get custom made templates, you can easily organize it and set it up. And then also if you want to customize it, you can tweak and change it just by going back and forth with Hermes inside the chat. You can also edit it, quickly delete it, you can pause it if you want to. If you don't pause it, then it will run at the set time. So for example, this is running out weekly on Monday. And so the cool thing about this is you don't need to create the templates yourself, these are just running the background and they turn just like raw schedule tasks into something that you can quickly schedule. So how does it work? Well, basically automation blueprints before, you know, an automation in Hermes meant you have to like add it yourself, set up the triggers, think about which APIs you need, and sometimes it wouldn't work properly. Now what you have is just a copy and paste setup where you can copy and paste the blueprint into Hermes Agent and go from there. Now you might say, you know, cron jobs, they sound technical, actually no, because you don't even need to do this, right? You don't write any syntax or code for this. You just give the recipe from the automation blueprint section on the setup here, as you can see, and then plug those into Hermes Agent and they're ready to go and the setup. And I'll show you an example of what actually came out as.
But basically, here's a whole pipeline. So essentially, you've got the blueprints, then we turned it into a weekly digest, which you can see here is a markdown file. And this is something the agent writes for us directly into our Obsidian Vault. So the cool thing about this is it's going to take the schedule note and then it plugs it into our memory system so that it can retrieve those notes and help us come up with, for example, like social media content ideas or content ideas or different things that we could build each week. So you can see, this is the full research report, and it's actually pulled in the latest news. So for example, Claude Fabel 5, Mythos 5, they just came out and it's already given us the link and found the research. How did it do that? Because he got the notes from the automation blueprint, from news research, and then we could quickly plug in, which is pretty cool. And also if you need to adapt it, like for us, for example, we actually changed the search API to Firecrawl, because it's a free way for agents to search the web, and we got the API there.
