The catalog is organized by what a project is. This page is organized by what you're trying to build. Each use case is a cross-category stack — the specific repos you need, in the order the decisions matter — with the real community posts that prove people ship it. 12 use cases, 62 cited stories.

use case

stack

An always-on personal ops agent

I want Hermes running 24/7, handling my inbox, calendar and daily errands without me prompting it

Hermes in your pocket

I want to talk to my Hermes agent from my phone — mobile app, web UI, or a messaging bridge

A coding agent that actually knows your codebase

I want Hermes to understand my repo deeply instead of re-reading files and burning tokens every session

Cut your token bill

I want to know where my spend is going and run Hermes for a fraction of what it costs me now

A multi-agent build pipeline

I want several agents planning, coding, reviewing and shipping in parallel instead of one agent doing everything serially

A fully self-hosted, private stack

I want Hermes running entirely on my own hardware with local models and no data leaving my network

Your notes as the agent's second brain

I want Hermes to read and write my Obsidian vault as its long-term memory, not a black-box database

A content engine that writes in your voice

I want Hermes researching, drafting and posting content that actually sounds like me

A daily research briefing

I want Hermes to scan sources overnight and hand me a filtered briefing every morning

Run Hermes for a team or clients

I want to operate Hermes for a team or for paying clients, with isolation, oversight and cost attribution

Guardrails before it touches anything real

I want approval gates and sandboxing so my agent can't do something destructive on its own

See what your agent is actually doing

I want visibility into every tool call, session and decision instead of guessing from the output
