Have Hermes Agent compile a themed research briefing

They used Hermes Agent to collect papers, sort them by theme, and turn them into a markdown briefing in a few minutes.

Done with Hermes Agent· Intermediate

What they did
The author installed Hermes Agent using the Nous Portal setup, which already included web search. That meant they did not need to add separate API keys before giving it a task. They asked it to investigate 2025–2026 work on multi-agent LLM coordination and save the findings as a structured markdown file. The agent searched online, pulled abstracts, arranged the results into themes, and drafted the briefing. It then created a reusable skill on its own, and later the author connected Telegram so they could send jobs from a phone.
How it went
The whole briefing finished in about 6 minutes and saved around 35 minutes compared with a typical 45-minute task. The draft still needed light editing because some citations were duplicated.
Tips
Check newly created skills after the first week, since the agent can make them too narrowly focused. Browser automation may also need another run on sites that load heavily with JavaScript.

Try it yourself with Hermes Agent

Look up [topic] and produce a short research briefing for me. Find [number] relevant sources from [date range], review the abstract or main section of each, and sort the findings into a few clear themes. Save the write-up as a [length]-word markdown file with links to every source and a short note on any disagreements or missing pieces. Before you do anything irreversible, such as sending, submitting, deleting, or paying, stop and ask me to confirm. If possible, also save the workflow as a reusable skill for later.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
