Kintu reports a Hermes pipeline that researches Reddit topics into Google Drive, waits for his approval, and prepares scripts, thumbnails and titles.
Reported by Percy KintuHow the agent did it
- Connect Reddit and Google Drive through Composio.
- Research community discussions and place ranked ideas in Review.
- Move selected ideas into Approved after human review.
Where a person stepped in
Kintu selects ideas by moving them from Review to Approved and discards unsuitable subjects. The personal workflow delivers ready material to him.
Percy Kintu describes a content pipeline he runs with Hermes, Composio, Reddit and Google Drive. The agent researches trending discussions in Hermes and AI communities, then organises possible YouTube topics in Drive. Ideas are ranked using engagement and the questions people are asking, rather than being sent straight to publication.
Kintu reviews the ideas in a dedicated folder. He discards subjects he is uncomfortable discussing and moves suitable ones into an Approved folder. A scheduled Hermes job checks that folder, performs deeper research and creates a script, thumbnail material and title. It then messages him when the project is ready. Used material moves to Archive; the connected YouTube account also lets the agent see what has already been posted.
The reusable detail is the folder transition: approval becomes a visible state change that a later agent run can inspect. Research, selection and production therefore have separate checkpoints without requiring the creator to supervise every tool call. Kintu says he runs this process himself, but provides no measured quality or conversion benchmark. His article also markets integration services, so the outcome remains a provider’s firsthand report. Readers should review factual claims and creative assets before publishing their own version.
