Vibe With Hermes Agent: builders, workflows, and a room full of context
Last Saturday, 13th June, we hosted Vibe With Hermes Agent, a co-build session at our HQ, with a simple motivation: if Hermes Agent was already becoming useful in our own workflows, it was worth bringing together others who were quietly exploring the agent too
We wanted a room where people could share how they structure context, talk through real workflows, build something personal, and leave with a clearer sense of what Hermes is good at today.
Setting the vibe
To kick things off, we had two sessions that helped builders get up to speed before the co-build.
Nimit Savant spoke about why Hermes is novel at self-learning. The core idea was simple: every task can become a reusable skill. Hermes captures what happened during a run, turns it into something reusable, and improves the next run with memory layers between sessions.
Veesesh (Yes, that's me :D), then showed how we use Hermes at Devfolio, including a support triage workflow that helps sort and draft replies for repetitive emails, and Devfolio Times, a playful newspaper editorial page that pulls from sources like Tech Twitter, Slack, and platform APIs. It was a good reminder that agents are most interesting when they turn messy context into something readable and useful.
Siddarth B from the Nous Research team joined us next and brought a grounded, builder-first perspective. He spoke about PR triage, a bot that goes through Hermes PRs and gives an initial review, making it easier for Sid and other members of the team to review contributions with more context. He also shared a degen bot that lists Polymarket bets, more as a fun, hacker-y experiment. The point was the spirit behind it; playful systems that show how agents can be useful, weird, and experimental all at once. He also answered a bunch of questions from the crowd, ranging from agent-to-agent workflows and their tradeoffs, to cybersecurity concerns, to how people can customize agent personalities for their own workflows. During the session, he helped builders during the co-build and kept the conversation grounded in practical usage rather than hype.
What hackers built
The projects in the room were personal in the best way. Some were about research. Some were about personal productivity. Some were first-time agent experiments. Others were built by people who were already using their own systems and wanted to push them further.
A few themes kept showing up:
Personalized workflows, research copilots, tools that make private context easier to work with, and experiments that solved problems specific to the builder who made them.
Some Demos that stood out:
- Research Pulse, built by Amey Muke:
Use Hermes to turn scattered context into something structured, useful, and shareable. - Dee — LLM Ensemble Eval, by Vince D'souza:
Soul.md file that ports Freaky Nikki from Obsession film into a Hermes agent.
During one of my conversations with a builder, I learned that they had actually found and signed up for this event through a Hermes system they had built, one that scraped events happening around them based on their interests.
How cool is that?
To me, that says a lot about where this space is right now. People are not waiting for permission, perfect tools, or a clear playbook. They are already building small, personal systems around things that genuinely matter to them.
What the meet-up meant
By the end of the day, the room had produced the thing we were hoping for: ideas that turned into demos, and demos that made people want to build more.
If the talks gave the room its Knowledge.md, and Siddarth's session gave us a closer look at the Skills.md behind Hermes, the co-build session was the Soul.md of the event. Builders took the ideas from the morning, shaped them around their own workflows, and left with something personal to them.
In the end, that felt like the best way to understand Hermes too: learn it, use it, make it yours.
We’re glad we hosted it. More than that, we’re glad people showed up and built!
A huge shoutout to everyone who came through, shared what they were working on, exchanged insights, and built in the room. That’s the energy we wanted, and that’s what made Vibe With Hermes Agent feel alive.
Until the next one, Never Stop Building!!
