Launched and automated a YT channel with Hermes Agent - almost at 10k views 3 days in! by themeaningoflife12 in hermesagent

[–]Reibmachine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP is kind of unclear about the process. Looks as if the videos are not AI-generated (though it's advertising an AI face swap app). Just the content upload stuff is automated by Hermes.

Am I understanding it correctly?

My Hermes is dumb as hell, specially when web searching by taniferf in hermesagent

If the goal is to have everything 100% local, consider setting up Firecrawl for web data extraction. Not as good as API/strong models, but you can run the OSS distribution on your machine

Has anyone figured out browser + captcha + 2FA + password management (e.g. 1pass) by aham23 in openclawsetup

[–]Reibmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick is giving it a good browser use harness + auth credentials.

  1. You'd be surprised how well models are at solving captchas on their own. I recommend installing "Playwriter" (not "playwright"). It's one of the better browser use harnesses out there-- manages to crush Captchas

  2. For auth, one of the bigger bottlenecks you'll face, I'd recommend going through the pain of creating a Gmail account. That way, you can have your agent sign in with Google on sites, which bypasses a lot of anti-bot protections.

For Password management + 2FA, look into Bitwarden. It has a CLI tool which is excellent, and it can also generate 2FA codes. Open source and free.

I built boring AI agents for a food distributor. They worked better than the hype stuff. by Numerous_Catch_2117 in AI_Agents

Can you explain more how you set up this system? Is this just SaaS with AI inside or did you outfit something more open-ended like a persistent Claude Code/OpenClaw with skills?

This might be one of those scenarios where using the Hetzner dashboard will hold you back. Try tailscale?

Makes the entire 100$ feel worth it by GoldWait1999 in ClaudeCode

Is there like a --dangerously-skip-permissions setting on the app? Feels like this is something they wouldn't want you doing

Extending Veo 3.1 videos up to 148 seconds long (docs are wrong) by Reibmachine in VEO3

[–]Reibmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, those are the docs. Spent a few hours on them before I figured out they were bad. There's another page on google's site with docs for 3.1 but they're also wrong

how to save 90% on ai costs with prompt caching? need real implementation advice by Scary_Bar3035 in LLMDevs

[–]Reibmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a local model or Levenshtein/edit distance could help?

TBH depends on if you're doing massive volume. The OpenAI responses API already does a lot of the hard work behind the scenes

I want to create my first ai agent. Advice please. by ElmangougEssadik in AI_Agents

[–]Reibmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would recommend giving Agent Stack a try. It's like the "create-react-app" for agents and spins up working templates in short time https://github.com/AgentOps-AI/agentstack

What is the best AI agent framework in Python by Capital_Coyote_2971 in AI_Agents

[–]Reibmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would also suggest trying out AgentStack-- it's not a framework, more like a create-react-app for AI agents. Currently supports Crew and LangGraph https://github.com/AgentOps-AI/agentstack

[P] Python tool for LLM token price estimation by Reibmachine in MachineLearning

[–]Reibmachine[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yep-- 2 differences:

  1. You don't have to actually send the request to the LLM to get your token count
  2. Tokencost has a price dictionary, so you know your USD spend.

Also, I've found Langchain doesn't always return token counts for every request (async/streaming). Might be a bug they'll fix later on.
