I use Hermes at home. Swapped out Openclaw for this. It seems to work better with smaller contexts, chuncking it up in smaller pieces.

I don't code with it, I use Claude for that. But what I do do: it's a sysadmin for my homelab. It has a read-only mcp server to check the k8s status and has it's own ssh access to fix stuff after I approve it per session.

It's magical. Each morning I get a small update whether the backup ran, if pods are stuck or behaving weirdly etc... Since the entire homelab is GitOps I can always reverse a change made by the agent.

I am now adding Nextcloud and moving calendar offline, from Google to my own hw. I barely touch it anymore, manually. In stead I sent a quick voice note on Telegram and 30 sec later I get a screenshot 'proving' it worked.
