Real use cases

These are workflows I actually run with Hermes Agent in complete offline mode (Ollama + open-weight model on my laptop). Copy, adapt, and iterate.

Use case index

Use case	What it does	Offline?
File assistant	Organize, search, and edit local files	Yes
Private research & notes	Summarize local docs, build notes	Yes
Code & dev helper	Refactor, debug, scaffold offline	Yes
Daily briefing via Telegram	Scheduled local scan + mobile delivery	Hybrid
Repeatable workflow	Turn one-offs into skills	Yes

What makes these "real"

Each use case includes:

• The problem I actually had.
• The exact prompt I use.
• What Hermes does (tools involved).
• What I learned (including failures).

Before you start

Make sure offline setup is complete and tool calling works. Every use case below assumes:

• Ollama running with 64k context.
• Tool-capable model (e.g. qwen3.5-64k).
• approvals.mode: manual for shell commands.

Pick one use case, run it end to end, then move to the next.
