Log meals by message and organize trips from email

A person used Hermes to add meals from texts and photos, and to turn forwarded booking emails into a trip plan.

What they did
They linked Hermes with a calorie app and used it as a text-in, log-out helper for meals, including iMessage photos. For vacations, they sent booking confirmations to Hermes’s own email address, which they set up through AgentMail and logged into for the agent. Hermes collected the travel details and arranged them into an itinerary.
How it went
That setup was handy enough that Hermes spotted a train reservation dated for the wrong day. The commenter did not report any other measurements or problems.
Tips
If you want the email side of this workflow, start by creating an AgentMail account for Hermes and sharing the login. Add a check that pauses before any message is sent, any booking is changed, or anything is posted to a shared calendar.

Try it yourself with Hermes Agent

You are helping with two jobs. When I send you a meal photo or a brief text, estimate the calories and enter the meal in [calorie tracker] with the timestamp. When I forward travel confirmation emails for [trip name], pull the details into a travel plan in [document, spreadsheet, or calendar] and flag anything that looks off, such as mismatched dates, times, or places. Stop and ask for my approval before you send any email, modify any reservation, delete anything, or add events to a shared calendar.

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