Real use caseEmail & work

Ask your agent whether a new AI tool is worth adding before you install it

The poster, who isn't a programmer and runs one agent for office work, pastes the link of every new AI tool into Hermes Agent and asks if it's useful for them. The agent reads the site and checks the same three things each time: is it only useful if you run many agents, can it reach the apps they actually use (their work email only works in the desktop app), and does the agent already do this. The last tool they asked about got a "not now". They also had the agent list the changes they'd made to it, and found some of their fixes would have been wiped by the next update, so now they only change settings and skills.
