What you get
One agent in three places that answers questions, keeps a file on each regular and gives you a reward queue to approve.
You end up with one hermes gateway daemon in your Discord
server, Slack workspace and WhatsApp group. It answers support questions with
data it fetched, keeps a notes file on each member, and every Friday proposes
rewards that only happen if you approve. Below is a mock of the
community pulse it DMs you each morning.

Each part maps to something this plan sets up: the pulse is a cron job, the notes are a skill the agent wrote, and the buttons are your approval. Here they only toggle. You approve by replying “approve” in a DM.
A day with it
- 07:30: the
daily-pulsecron job searches past sessions withsession_searchand DMs you the pulse. - 10:12, Slack: a partner asks when the v1 API shuts down.
The agent runs its changelog skill, answers with the
version and date, and adds a line to
dana-l.md. - 15:40, Discord: petra asks her webhook question for the third time, according to her notes file. The agent answers and flags the gap in the docs to you.
- Friday 17:00: the
weekly-shoutoutscron job proposes up to three rewards with evidence. You reply “approve”, and the agent assigns the Discord role throughdiscord_adminand posts the shoutout.
What it won’t do
- No moderation. It never deletes, mutes or bans. Punishment stays with people.
- No built-in member memory. Hermes’s own memory is two small markdown files about you and your setup. The member files above exist because this plan has the agent build a notes skill (see Architecture).
- No filler. It doesn’t post “great question!” or count streaks. The pulse shows unanswered threads and quiet contributors, and what you do about them is up to you.
