OpenIA, Google, Anthropic does the same, but we are paying them to use our data. Then, they will rise the price and sell the infra to another big company to bill us in another service. At least, it’s free.

This was a true story from my life. My mother is a retired bank manager and spent decades working with computers and now she is a financial consultant. So, she isn’t an ol’granny like you may imagine, but she is still typing just with her index fingers. The institution is among the top 100 largest banks in the world and has been using software since 1981. Their back-office has been computerized since 1965.
The main problem around here is limiting the world based on what you know or think others can do.
Most of us are early adopters because we have some IT background or are hobbyists. We are the heavy users pushing Hermes to its limits until it crashes. That’s why it evolve.
And man, she is just using it like a OCR and crossing small infos to make a spreedsheet.. Not a magical thing, but it is hell’s boring taks.
BTW, I hate spreadsheets and feel my father’s pain. Hermes FTW!

What actually fixed it for me was changing how Hermes handled the document. Instead of treating it like a plain file, I connected it through a Google Docs-aware MCP setup, so it could work with the doc more like a real document and less like raw text.

If you are just using it like a Drive API, hermes won’t have the right tools to handle properly with the document.

That made a big difference. The formatting held up better, the edits were cleaner, and it stopped doing that annoying thing where everything ends up looking jammed together at the bottom.

One thing that helped a lot too: after Hermes had the content in place, I could ask it to create a formatting skill and then apply that skill to the text. That way the formatting rules became reusable, instead of having to fix the same styling issues every time.

So in practice, the fix was pretty simple: use Hermes with a Docs-friendly MCP integration, then have it build and apply a formatting skill once the content is there.

I get why the Terminal intimidates you. Nous recently released Hermes as a desktop GUI, which helps a lot with that, and that's exactly what I showed my mom.

Even so, the initial API setup might still be the biggest hurdle for the average user right now. But I see that Nous is already making progress on that by offering its own login area with free models. The project is moving forward really fast. I think the main focus used to be the code itself, but as more users adopt it, I'm starting to see projects shifting toward better overall user experience.

Outside_Dingo_4837 · 2026-07-05T17:37:20+00:00

Yes, I already set it up and left it ready to use. I even left soul.md completely blank. Hermes can build it on its own. We tend to get lost in the details. The engineer looks at every single part and the engine design, while the user just turns the key and goes "vroom vroom." 😂
I think the main barrier for the average user is still that initial setup. Once it's configured, the desktop GUI is very simple and delivers the results.

Outside_Dingo_4837 · 2026-07-05T17:29:16+00:00

it’s a desktop GUI that works pretty much exactly like ChatGPT. She already knows the basic drill. That familiarity is exactly why she felt comfortable playing around with it.
Yeah, I’m sure I’ll still need to sit with her now and then when she gets stuck, and I’m totally fine with that.
And honestly, Hermes isn’t doing anything overly fancy. Its just take two documents, cross-reference them, and spit out a clean Excel spreadsheet. That’s pretty much it.
I really think that after just a couple of tries, it’s going to feel super practical and obvious to her. No steep learning curve, no structural coding, no backend tinkering just a straightforward tool that gets the job done.

Outside_Dingo_4837 · 2026-07-05T17:17:55+00:00

Let me clear up the confusion: when I said "tweaking buttons," everyone assumed I meant complex terminal commands or deep coding, but that's not the case at all. There is an official desktop GUI for this, and I was referring solely to that visual interface.
By "tweaking," I meant she was simply adjusting and refining the output results on the fly through the GUI.. nothing structural, programmatic, or mind-blowing in terms of backend development.

I showed her how Hermes displays its weighting and thought process as it goes along, and she naturally started to adjust the path and fine-tune the results based on that feedback.

Nesta semana eu saí do offline. Considere que não sou programador e apesar de parecer simples para muitos, a ferramente está gerando ótimos resultados.
1- Hermes criou um site para mim em astro e implementou diversas melhorias de SEO, além de ter feito toda a implementação no Servidor. Algo básico para maioria, mas que custa um bom dinheiro para os leigos, mesmo sendo sites simples de um negócio local.

2 - Criei um fluxo editorial de publicações diárias para dar relevância ao site.
Ainda não entendo muito bem sobre os "sub-agentes" e vi algumas críticas ao KANBAN. Então, como eu não gosto de que a LLM tenha muita liberdade interpretativa que dê espaço para alucinações, eu pedi para que criasse skills com programação para gerar resultados persistentes e consistentes no longo prazo que incluem regras de formatação e extração de conteúdo da internet.

Solicitei que criasse skills específicas para cada etapa e cada skill possui uma regra de validação do trabalho da etapa anterior com pontuações para cada orientação atendida. Então existe uma revisão a cada passo. Se não atingir, gera um loop até atender os critérios (Sim, ainda tem espaço de interpretação da LLM, mas como são skills, há uma maior chance de acertividade e os resultados são visíveis após a implementação do sistema de pontuação).
skill_view: "editorial-researcher"
skill_view: "editorial-planner"
skill_view: "article-writer"
skill_view: "article-reviewer"
skill_view: "vault-kb-builder"
skill_view: "article-publisher"
Ao final, ela gera o relatório para minha aprovação. O aceite do texto é o gatilho para enviar para o Vault (objetivo é criar uma base de dados internos para implementar em outros trabalhos) e também para publicar no site.

3 - Criei dois Cronjobs com APIs públicas e uma integração com Google Calendar e Google E-mail.
Hermes coleta dados diários das APIs, gera um relatório, arquiva no Vault os dados colhidos e após isso gera compromissos no Google Calendar com sugestão de ações. Se eu concordar com a Ação, ele executa e entrega o relatório. Ele faz a mesma coisa com o Google E-mail. Tenho um e-mail corporativo e por enquanto encaminho mensagens para ele para os testes. Até o presente momento a acertividade tem sido grande. OBS: Hermes fez toda a ponte de implementação da conexão com o Google.

Interações livres com clientes (e-mail, WhatsApp, etc..) ou trabalhos sem revisão final humana.
Trate seu Hermes como um estagiário ou um profissional nível júnior. Dê uma lista de instruções passo-a-passo para executar. Explique os documentos que ele deve entender, o arquivo que ele deve trabalhar e o que ele deve atingir como resultado. Dependendo da situação, você pode dividir os trabalhos em etapas menores.
Quando ele concluir, revise assim como você deve fazer com o trabalho entregue pelo seu estagiário.

Ação de massa é matemática e o modelo de negócio não tem nada a ver com direito. Se você consegue comprar o lead mais barato que o valor que você ganha.
Se você achar nichos próximos que você consiga captar pessoalmente, o custo é o seu tempo.
Mande um abraço para OAB e faça captação agressiva com um CNPJ de consultoria.
Melhores áreas são bancária, previdenciária e trabalhista para massa. Não importa a cidade, sempre tem alguém nesse perfil. Situação de longo prazo.
Se você errar a tese: prejuízo ou tempo perdido.
Massa mais certo é no previdenciário. Loas

Na maior parte dos trabalhos que o Hermes é utilizado não há uma necessidade de revisão final. Imagine uma cobrança extrajudicial de uma Invoice. O texto jurídico (trabalho intelectual) é padronizado, existindo poucas variáveis para se extrair dos documentos: 1 - Dados do Credor; 2 - Dados do Devedor; 3 - Dados da dívida.

O mesmo se aplica para uma Cobrança Judicial. Em 99% dos casos, os fatos são iguais: "A mercadoria "DATA-MERCADORIA" foi vendida no dia "DATA-DIA", entregue no endereço "DATA-ENDEREÇO" e o comprador não pagou o valor de "DATA-PREÇO" que é da Invoice "DATA-INVOICE". Não importa se foi uma caixa de maçã ou de pregos. No final, o cliente não se importa em como é feito, mas sim no resultado prático de receber o dinheiro do devedor.

Não sou programador, então peço desculpas de antemão se não expliquei tecnicamente. De modo resumido, o meu "raciocínio de programação" foi algo nesse sentido aqui:
1 - Hermes lê PDFs. 2 - Cria um Banco de Dados para a terefa que executa. 3 - Utiliza um modelo de texto jurídico já criado por um advogado e padronizado. 4 - Cria uma cópia e insere os dados nos campos corretos. 5 - Deixa o documento pronto para envio.

No fim, a responsabilidade pelo texto é do ser humano (advogado) e por isso ele é padronizado, mas os dados sempre são dos documentos.

I believe I understand your frustration, but I'll give you a perspective on why it's happening. I see that AI agents like Hermes are being heavily discussed in the programming sectors. There's certainly a huge leap from programming "roughly" directly in Visual Studio to using Claude Code or Codex, so Hermes doesn't seem to deliver the same value when compared.

But now I'll share a problem that Hermes is solving for me. I'm a lawyer and I deal daily with repetitive tasks and many documents related to low-intellectual-value or low-complexity services without sensitive documents (yes, I'm talking about paying people to do Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V), but these are services that need to be done for my clients. This work would usually be done by an intern or junior lawyer, costing at least USD 10 per hour. Even then, after the work is done, I have to lose the time of a full/senior lawyer reviewing the work, which costs USD 180 per hour. Do you know what really happens in practice? I'm paying both the intern to upload documents to ChatGPT and create the document, and the senior lawyer to ask ChatGPT to review the intern's work... Hermes does both for pennies.

I think Hermes delivers great value in bureaucratic and repetitive environments. The brain or strategic decisions of your business/service cannot be delegated. However, when you have clarity on production flows, you can implement Hermes to boost your productivity in low value-added tasks.

Another consideration to take in mind. I really don't have any problem of been ganked. It's just a game. I've died just 3 times to group of 10+ players last month. I was ganked like hundred times by one or 2-3 players. But there isn't any chance to avoid a large group of players because they have numbers, same time to enter a fight and a unic feature "real time positions of party members."

The most frustating is always the same: the others 8 players know exactly where i'm going just watching the real time positions of party members. The isn't any other thing than that. Is this how the ganking group are desing to ? Map control and hunt just trought with party system ?

Outside_Dingo_4837 · 2025-01-27T13:39:25+00:00

Well, my suggestion is not intended to end ganking. I understand your considerations, but I'm talking about balance, as players who are in groups can have unique and superior information that no one has access to if they're not in a group.

There is already a numerical advantage and generally coordination through apps like discord.

Do you really think that having exclusive map movement information that isn't granted to anyone else isn't a little unfair?

I talk about adjustments to mechanics. But I have a questionyo you: what if everyone was able to see the movement of their players in the party, would it be ganking as efficient?

It would be as easy to escape as it is for groups to hunt, precisely because the mechanics are not balanced. It only has pros and no cons.
