What is Hermes Agent?

Hermes Agent is an autonomous AI assistant built by Nous Research. It runs on your laptop, a VPS, or serverless hosts, connects to 20+ chat platforms, creates and improves skills from experience, and takes real actions — including drafting and scheduling social media through OpenQuok. See the Hermes Agent integration and agent setup guides.

How do I install the openquok-core skill in Hermes Agent?

Install @openquok/auto-cli, add openquok-core under ~/.hermes/skills/, and authenticate once. See the Hermes agent guide and CLI getting started.

What can Hermes Agent do with X on OpenQuok?

Hermes Agent can draft and schedule X posts, upload images and video, apply per-platform settings, and pull platform and post analytics for your connected X account. The openquok-core skill documents integrations:list, posts:create, posts:status, analytics:platform, upload, and more — every command returns structured JSON for the agent to parse. See Hermes Agent + X and the X humanizer tool for channel-specific workflows.

How does Hermes Agent schedule X posts?

Connect your X account via the X setup guide or the X channel landing. Install openquok-core on Hermes Agent with the Hermes Agent agent guide. Message your assistant to schedule — Hermes Agent uses integration UUIDs from openquok integrations:list to target your X account. Every post lands as a draft or scheduled item until you approve on the calendar or kanban. Browse X playbooks and X building blocks for format ideas.

Does Hermes publish immediately or wait for approval?

Posts created through the CLI land in your OpenQuok workspace as drafts or scheduled items. You can review on the calendar or kanban, move posts through draft and review, and approve what should publish.

Does it work with other AI agents?

Yes. OpenQuok is CLI-first — any agent that can run shell commands can use openquok, including OpenClaw, Cursor, and custom automation. This page focuses on Hermes Agent plus the openquok-core skill; pair it with Skills Hub workflows, MCP servers, or cron for richer pipelines. Browse agent hosts and MCP clients.

Why use Hermes Agent instead of an MCP client?

Cursor and other MCP clients fit editor sessions — see MCP setup guides. Hermes fits always-on chat from Telegram, Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp. Pick Hermes for messaging and scale; pick MCP for in-repo workflows. Many teams use both.

Can I run Hermes on a VPS or serverless host?

Yes. Run on a VPS, Docker, or serverless backend with a persistent ~/.hermes/ volume, install openquok-core, and authenticate once. See the Docker Compose self-host guide.

Yes. Create an OpenQuok account and start a 7-day free trial on Pricing, connect your channels, install openquok-core on Hermes, and begin scheduling from chat.

Schedule X from Hermes Agent then you approve

Message Hermes Agent from Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack. Add the openquok-core skill so it schedules X posts while you review on the calendar or kanban.

Built for X with Hermes Agent

Who schedules X with Hermes Agent?

Creators & founders

Stay visible on X without living in the app. Ask your agent to schedule tweets and threads while you ship product. Message Hermes Agent to draft X posts from chat — you approve before publish.

Social managers

Batch a week of X posts. Control reply settings per tweet. Track engagement with your other channels. Hermes Agent queues X drafts at volume — your team approves before publish.

Developers & agents

Pipe X drafts from your backend via the public API, CLI, or MCP. Configure thread replies and reply settings per post. Run Hermes Agent per client workspace so X drafts stay isolated.

How it works

Connect once

Choose a workspace, connect with OAuth2 — approve in your browser, and credentials stay on the host. Message Hermes from Telegram, Discord, or Slack to draft and schedule without opening another app.

A strong tweet deserves a conversation. You do not need another tab open on X. Add follow-up replies in the composer with delays. Preview text and media before you schedule. Chain the full thread from one draft.

Hermes Session 2

What performed best on my channels over the last 7 days? Break down impressions and engagement.

Pulled platform analytics (7d)

Top post: 12.4k impressions, 842 reactions — carousel on product tips.

Facebook Page leads with +24% impressions vs last week.

Compare that post on TikTok vs Instagram Reels.

TikTok: 48k views, 2.1k likes. IG Reel: 31k plays, 312 saves. TikTok wins reach; IG leads on saves.

Scale what works

when a format hits, scale by adding workspaces and parallel sessions

Spot a winner in analytics, then cl a dedicated workspace for the next client or brand while Hermes queues the next wave in parallel — credentials, channels, and agent context stay isolated as you scale.

Parallel CLI sessions

# Workspace A — launch (client brand)
openquok posts:create -c "…" -s "…" -t draft -i "<uuid>"
openquok posts:status <post-id> -s schedule

# Workspace B — another client (isolated credentials)
openquok posts:list --status draft

# Same workspace — metrics in parallel
openquok analytics:platform <integration-uuid> -d 7
openquok analytics:post <post-id> -d 30
