Use Hermes to collect, summarize, and stage candidate information while humans keep approval control.
Use 5 to 10 known URLs or RSS entries and ask Hermes to produce a reviewed candidate list, not a published article.
Use case Needs human review
Information collection and review
Use Hermes to collect candidate materials, summarize them, and keep a human in the approval loop.
Why this should be tried early
It turns Hermes into a practical assistant without requiring a complex production system.
A reviewed list of candidate sources with summaries and human approval status.
Suggested timebox: 45 to 90 minutes for the first source-list dry run.

Human review first Prompt to start with
Help me use Hermes for a beginner-safe information collection dry run. I will provide a small list of sources. Do not publish anything. Normalize each item into title, URL, source, summary, tags, risk notes, and review status. Deduplicate obvious repeats and write the result to a review file that I can inspect.Use this as the starting instruction. Then attach or link the documents listed below. Do not let AI invent unsupported requirements.
Before you start
- At least one source list is prepared
- The user knows where generated files should be stored
Safety notes
- Do not let Hermes copy long passages from sources.
- Keep every generated summary linked to its original URL.
- Treat social posts and unstable sources as review queue items.
Runbook
Beginner-safe flow
- Prepare a small source list instead of asking Hermes to search the whole web.
- Define the output schema before running collection.
- Run collection as a candidate queue, not a published feed.
- Review duplicates, summaries, and risk notes manually.
- Promote only a few reviewed items into a curated resource list.
Success criteria
- The output file has clear source URLs and review statuses.
- Duplicates are flagged instead of silently deleted.
- The human editor can decide what to keep without re-reading everything from scratch.
Stop and review if
- Generated summaries make claims that are not visible in the source.
- The result has no review status or source URL.
- Hermes treats low-quality sources as final recommendations.
Human review checklist
- Does every item have a URL and source name?
- Are summaries short and non-copying?
- Can I reject, archive, or publish each item separately?
Next steps
- Connect this queue to a curated resources file only after schema validation is in place.
- Add source-specific adapters gradually: RSS first, then YouTube or other stable feeds.
