If I was starting Hermes from zero, these are the 9 workflows I'd build first (to make it a real Chief of Staff):
1. Daily Brief
Every morning at 7am, Hermes pulls my calendar, top 3-5 urgent emails, weather, and 3 headlines from my interest feeds, then drops it as one scannable message in Telegram.
Replaces my old shitty ritual of opening 5 apps before coffee.
2. Viral Swipe File (self-improving)
A nightly cron checks every post I've published across X, LinkedIn, and Threads.
Anything that crosses my engagement threshold gets auto-extracted into a structured swipe file with the hook, structure, topic, opening line, and stats.
It gets better every week. Over time the swipe file builds a precise fingerprint of what works for me, calibrated against real data.
3. Trending Workflows Radar
Every morning Hermes scans Reddit, X, and AI forums, identifies what workflows are gaining velocity in the last 24 hours, and delivers a ranked list of 5 content angles.
This helps me stay on top of the hottest workflows people are cooking in AI.
4. Meeting Prep Briefing
30 minutes before every Google Calendar meeting, Hermes pulls the attendee list, fetches their LinkedIn/company context, summarizes my last email thread with them, and sends a one-page brief to Telegram.
I walk into every call sounding prepared without digging through threads.
5. The Humanizer
A skill that audits any text against 30 known AI writing tells (em-dashes, "delve," "tapestry," tricolon structures) and rewrites them into natural prose.
Lets me accelerate first drafts with AI without sounding like I did (probably my most used workflow in my entire stack)
6. Bookmark Inbox
Hermes monitors my X bookmarks automatically. Anything new gets fetched, summarized in 3 bullets, auto-tagged, and filed into my Obsidian vault by topic.
Saved stuff becomes searchable knowledge instead of digital clutter.
7. Customer Support Cron
Every morning Hermes scans my inbox for support tickets, categorizes them by issue type, and logs everything to my company Discord.
Weekly report surfaces the top 5 recurring issues so I know what to actually fix in the product.
8. Weekly Business Report
Every Monday morning Hermes pulls Stripe revenue, newsletter subs, content views, follower growth, churn, and refunds.
Then drops it as a single dashboard in Telegram with this-week-vs-last-week.
9. Obsidian LLM Wiki Second Brain
A single Obsidian vault that becomes the source of truth for everything in my business / life (Karpathy-maxxing)
I have Hermes writes a daily report on everything that happened across my Discord and Telegram, then add it to the vault.
Over time it becomes a deep knowledge base I can point any model at.

If you want to build these, simply paste this post into your Hermes agent and tell it to build the ones you want.
It'll ask you which integrations to connect (Gmail, Stripe, Telegram, etc), pull your business context, and set them up for you.
What workflows do you love that should I add??
