Turn years of saved messages into a library

The poster saved things to his Telegram Saved Messages for 7 years, the way many people bookmark posts to read later. He now has his Hermes Agent sorting nearly 14,000 of those messages into an organized knowledge base inbox.

Copy this prompt

Here is an export of my saved messages. Sort them into topics, with a short title and one-line summary for each item and the original link if there is one. Put duplicates together. Flag anything that looks like a password, ID number or bank detail and leave it out of the summary. Start with the oldest 200 so I can check the topics.

Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.

Watch out for

  • Saved messages often include private details. Check what you export before you give it to an agent and the AI model behind it.
  • Large exports use a lot of model credits. Try a small batch first.

When your agent says it's done, go and look

After eight months and thousands of Hermes Agent sessions, the poster says his number one lesson is simple: the agent often says a job is finished when it isn't. His rule is to always go and look at the real result yourself, whether that's a file, a sent message or a changed setting. In earlier posts in the same series he adds two related habits: use plain, repeatable checks to confirm work instead of trusting the agent's summary, and never let it change everything at once. Back up first and try the change on one item.

PromptWhen you finish a task, don't just tell me it's done. Show me proof I can check myself: a link to the file, a...

A viral video checked frame by frame

A viral post claimed an AI tool had found thousands of hidden photos on someone's Android phone, with a screen recording as proof. The poster asked Gemini to look into it using a Task in the Gemini app. It pulled out all 423 frames of the clip and read what was on screen. The last few frames showed a lock screen with the date "Thu, 19 October" and "No SIM", and October 19 was a Thursday in 2023, not 2026. The scrolling text turned out to be phone startup logs, and the clip matched a YouTube Short posted on October 19, 2023. A handy way to check a dramatic video before you share it.

Turn saved articles into short e-reader books

The poster saves X threads, Reddit posts and articles to Readwise Reader, but reading them on a screen at night gave him headaches. He bought a Boox e-ink reader, and connected his Hermes Agent on a Mac mini to his saved reading. He gives it a topic, and it uses his saved items plus other sources, such as the original research paper, to make an illustrated book of about 20 minutes, with diagrams and links to the sources. The agent sends the file straight to the e-reader. He uses it to catch up on saved items and to learn a topic properly.
