I am happy to share something I have been working on for the past few months: an open-source agent orchestrator for knowledge work, built on Hermes Agent.

It's now become the set up that I use for work every day and it has significantly increased my productivity. I wanted to have an easy and intuitive way to interact with Hermes Agent without having to use the CLI. Then one thing led to another.

I nearly got phished earlier this year. 24+ years in software engineering, I know exactly how phishing and spam work and what to look out for, and it still almost worked on me.

Or maybe we just need something new and open alongside SMTP that meets our modern-day needs but can bridge and interoperate with SMTP as well. I'm not saying I have all the answers,…
