Hermes Flightplan #1: The Ultimate Zero to Always-On Telegram AI Agent
A complete, copy-paste path to a Hermes Agent you message from your phone over Telegram — one that keeps running after you close the laptop and comes back on its own after a crash or reboot. Written from two real builds: a cheap Hetzner VPS and a Mac Mini M4. One route, with the box only changing two things: the install command and the layer that keeps the gateway alive. Verified against Hermes Agent v0.16.0.
The 15 Levels of Hermes Agent Usage
A complete roadmap of Hermes Agent mastery, from your first one-shot prompt to a multi-profile system that runs your business without you. 15 levels across three phases — foundation, leverage, and autonomy — each with what it unlocks, how to set it up, and the mistake that trips people up. Plus the token economics that keep it affordable. Verified against Hermes Agent v0.17.0.
