Log meals and build trip itineraries by text and email
Hermes logs food from texts and iMessage photos into a calorie tracker, and builds vacation itineraries from forwarded confirmations, catching a train booked for the wrong day. ·
Done withHermes Agent
- What they did
- One commenter wired Hermes to a calorie-tracking app so they can text it or send iMessage food photos and have meals logged for them. They also use Hermes’s own email address to receive forwarded travel confirmations, after which it assembles the vacation itinerary; the only setup detail they added in comments was making an AgentMail account and giving Hermes the login.
- How it went
- They say the travel workflow was useful enough that Hermes caught a train booking on the wrong day. No metrics, accuracy rate, or other failures were given for these two workflows.
- Worth knowing
- To copy the email workflow, they said to create an AgentMail account for Hermes and hand over the login.
