- What they did
- The poster says they scraped all conference participants from the event app, enriched that list with Exa, and wrote a runbook covering cadence, channels, and messaging for outreach to about 200 people. They then set up an automation that woke Hermes each morning to execute that runbook autonomously over the two weeks before the conference.
- How it went
- They report Hermes booked 30+ meetings across two conference days, with meetings getting scheduled throughout the lead-up. The Reddit post itself gives only the high-level flow and points to a blog post for the fuller walkthrough.
- Worth knowing
- Their stated cadence was a daily automated run for two weeks before the conference, targeting roughly 200 people.

Follow the runbook in [file] and track replies and booked slots in a log. Before sending any message, show me the batch of drafts and wait for my approval, and stop each day when the day's batch is sent and logged.
