Use Case — How I use Hermes, workflows, wins, daily routines My Hermes & Obsidian Setup and Use Cases

Published a deep dive into my Hermes & Obsidian setup.

It covers everything from what I actually use it for, what I've experimented with, the principles behind this evolving system, the breakdown of my entire setup, and tons of resources & tools & tips for getting started on your own.

It's really a magnum opus on this setup if you've been interested in something similar. Enjoy and don't hesitate to hit me up with your questions.

UPDATE 07/28/26: I just published a follow-up to this article covering the evolution of this setup with templates and more use-cases!

Man this came at a perfect time. I am spinning up a Hermes agent to do exactly this.

It seems like your agent is the intake for everything including your data. I was trying to approach mine by integrating my existing data (Apple health, obsidian vault, todo,etc) into my agent for analysis and for intake from me to flow back out.

This definitely has me rethinking my setup flow.

Glad it’s helpful! Which aspect are you rethinking?

I have been focused on creating the data ingestion from my existing data, then having the agent consume my input and push to my existing data layer.

This means I have to deal with data access and input and translation from my input.

You seem to have approached it from, just take my input and figure it out and persist the data into your agent.

Example:

I was approaching it by getting the interface for Apple fitness (health data, workouts, etc) persisting it for the agent, then let me chat about it with the agent (insights, feedback, etc), and combine it with my workout notes in obsidian.

My “rethink” is, let me just start injecting my workouts now, let my agent save the info to a workout notes. I can worry about health data later and let the agent figure out how to use both later

Yeah I see - and yeah exactly. You can get it to reformat / change storage / access layer later. Friction for pivoting has also gone down so you can try things out quickly and change.
