Summary

A pro tip for Hermes agents: use the free open-source repo Agent Reach to give agents internet access, enabling them to read YouTube, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and GitHub, reducing token costs and improving research efficiency.

Hermes agent pro tip. The upgrade that made my agents actually useful had nothing to do with the model. It was giving them eyes on the internet. Out of the box your agent is basically blind. It can't read a YouTube transcript, a Reddit thread, an X post, or a LinkedIn profile, so it reasons on scraps and guesses the rest. I fixed it with a free open-source repo called Agent Reach. Here's what it unlocked: → Eyes on the internet. YouTube, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and GitHub all become readable to the agent. → A routing layer. It knows which tool to use per platform, what's authorized, and what's broken, before it burns a single token. → Way cheaper research. Clean structured text instead of raw HTML means the same task costs a fraction of the tokens. Across 5 businesses that adds up fast. → Full X search through Grok. The cookie-based setups everyone recommends break constantly. Grok just works. If you want my full Hermes setup from scratch, the playbook is in the article below.
