The short version

Kept by Clip'd

Alex Finn demos six practical Hermes Agent workflows you can set up today: long-running /goal jobs unlocked by metaprompting, an autonomous Kanban that assigns tasks to agents, automated competitor research, a personal memory wiki, a Tailcale-backed multi-device admin, and a daily morning-priority prompt that lets the agent self-improve. The video mixes concrete prompts, a live demo of a game built with /goal, and a free HubSpot cheat sheet to help you pick tools and starter prompts.

Use these when you want consistent, improving assistance across days. Avoid relying on ephemeral chats; the frequent mistake is not giving agen

Use Tailcale when you need file access, localhost testing, or to run heavy workloads on a specific device remotely. Do not use this as a substitute for proper security practices; people often skip access controls
