Hermes Agent Tutorials & Use Cases

Currently Playing: Hermes Agent + Webhooks: How to Actually Build Automated Workflows

"Cool tools, but what do you actually do with them?" — webhooks are the answer. Here's how I wire Hermes Agent into the real internet in three live demos.

This video walks through webhooks in both directions (world-to-agent and agent-to-world), then builds three complete real-world examples: a Beehiiv new-subscriber Telegram ping with an hourly cron stats digest, a GitHub auto-PR-review that reads the diff and drops a review comment, and a full app enrichment flow where an agent analyzes RSS news feeds and posts structured JSON to my live production site via a cron job. ✅ Full inbound setup: webhook route in config.yaml, .env secret generation, ngrok tunnel, and registering the endpoint with Beehiiv and GitHub. ✅ Full outbound setup: agent-to-app via a cron job + Python RSS poller + structured JSON post to a Next.js API endpoint running on a live production site. ✅ Real gotchas called out: ngrok URL rotation on free tier, GitHub CLI in WSL, secret matching between Hermes and the receiving service, and gateway restart after config changes. 💻 Tonbi's GitHub: https://github.com/tonbistudio 🌐 Portfolio: https://www.tonbistudio.com Resources: 🔗 Hermes Agent (Nous Research): https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent 🔗 ngrok: https://ngrok.com/ 🔗 Mentioned! : https://www.mentioned-app.com 🔗 GitHub Webhooks: https://docs.github.com/en/webhooks Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro: What do you actually do with AI agents? 1:19 - What is a webhook?
