How to use Hermes Agent to make illustrated reading EPUBs
@ProvableMat gives Hermes Agent on a Mac mini a topic, saved Readwise documents and other sources. He reports illustrated EPUBs taking about 20 minutes to read that the agent can send to his Boox Go7, including a Gaussian splatting explainer.

- @ProvableMat reports an illustrated Gaussian splatting EPUB built from saved demos and the original paper, with source links and diagrams, for his Boox Go7. About 20 minutes describes reading length, not generation time.
- Human involvement
- @ProvableMat saves source material, chooses the topic and configured the reading setup. He does not describe checking the generated book for factual accuracy.

How the agent did it
- @ProvableMat saved posts and articles in Readwise Reader and installed Reader on his Boox Go7.
- He connected his reading setup to Hermes Agent running on a Mac mini and supplied a topic.
- Hermes used saved Gaussian splatting demos and the original research paper to prepare an illustrated EPUB with source links.
@ProvableMat saves X threads, Reddit posts, articles and RSS material in Readwise Reader. He installed Reader on a Boox Go7 so he could read saved material on e-ink and sync highlights back to Readwise. He then connected that reading setup to Hermes Agent running on his Mac mini.
For a new reading project, he supplies a topic. Hermes uses his saved documents and other sources to prepare an illustrated EPUB with diagrams and source links. The poster describes the resulting books as taking about 20 minutes to read. That is a reading-length estimate, not a claim that generation takes 20 minutes.
His example is Gaussian splatting. After saving 3D demos, he asked Hermes about the technique; it used those posts and the original research paper to produce a short explanatory book. He says the agent can send files straight to the Boox, ready for evening reading.
The attached image diagrams the workflow rather than exposing the EPUB's contents or a generation log. It is therefore supporting illustration, not independent proof of the book's accuracy. The post does not specify the file-transfer mechanism, underlying model or a human fact-checking stage. His live profile bio identifies a software background and a zKorp co-founder role, with no Nous Research or Nous community affiliation stated.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 20-minute figure mean?
It is the poster's estimate of how long a generated book takes to read. The post does not give a generation duration.
Which sources supported the example book?
The poster says Hermes used saved Gaussian splatting demos and the original research paper, with diagrams and source links in the EPUB.
How does the file reach the e-reader?
The post says Hermes can send files straight to the Boox Go7. It does not name the transfer service or protocol.

Remaining steps
- The poster says Hermes can send the files directly to the Boox for evening reading.
About this account
Hermes combines saved documents with other sources to prepare a topic-specific illustrated EPUB and can send the file to the e-reader.
Opened the original X post and its available replies directly on 2026-10-28; checked the author bio and attached media where present. Opened the live @ProvableMat profile before drafting: bio says software background and co-founder @zKorp_, with no Nous Research or community @NousResearch tie stated. The attachment is an explanatory diagram and the post is marked Made with AI; neither is a factual accuracy check of the EPUB. No replies were displayed.
