Monitor Resy and book date night tables
Brian built a Hermes agent that watches Resy for openings at favorite NYC restaurants and books tables, but it had no rate limits and got his account suspended.
Done withHermes Agent
- What they did
- Brian spun up a Hermes subagent inside his personal agent Hannah (which used Obsidian as the brain and Telegram as the interface) to monitor Resy for openings at a few favorite NYC restaurants and book tables for date nights. The subagent ran checks on its own with no rate limits configured. It operated by repeatedly querying the site whenever it detected availability.
- How it went
- The subagent secured openings effectively until Resy suspended the account for hammering their system and violating TOS. After repeated support requests he received a one-time reinstatement.
- Worth knowing
- No rate limits were set on the subagent's Resy queries, which caused the immediate suspension.
