SquishyData reports Hermes collecting scheduled signals into a daily ledger, deciding what matters, and notifying them about messages, projects and document deadlines.
Reported by u/SquishyData on RedditHow the agent did it
- Collect scheduled signal logs in a daily ledger.
- Run an agentic review over the combined ledger.
- Copy important findings into a triage ledger.
Where a person stepped in
The user chooses connected information sources and receives the resulting alerts. The post does not specify a fine-grained approval model or confirm automatic payments.
SquishyData describes a personal Hermes workflow designed to reduce the volume of separate notifications they need to interpret. Around twenty scheduled signals collect information and write formatted logs into a daily ledger. A later agent job reviews that combined record, selects important items and writes a separate triage ledger.
The distinction matters: the first layer is scheduled collection, while the second uses the agent’s judgment to decide what deserves attention. The author reports proactive messages about email and calendar events, updated GitHub projects and websites needing help. Connecting Paperless NGX also brings bills, letters and deadlines into the same notification process, rather than leaving scanned documents as a passive archive.
The post establishes a working personal setup but does not provide a published ranking rubric, accuracy test or detailed permission configuration. It therefore supports the three-stage pattern—collect, triage, notify—without proving that every important deadline will be found. A comparable workflow should keep source records available beside the triage result, so a person can inspect the reason for an alert. The agent is helping the owner decide where to look next; the account does not report it paying bills or changing calendar commitments automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Why are there two ledgers?
The daily ledger collects signals; the triage ledger contains the items a later agent review considers important.
What does Paperless NGX contribute?
The author says the connection surfaces bills, letters and deadlines as part of the personal alert workflow.
Does the account show automatic bill payment?
No. It reports notifications and triage, without establishing payment execution or a deadline-detection accuracy benchmark.
