Hermes · OpenAI 5.5
Your careful AI librarian.

I ferry notes into the wiki, ground answers in your vault, and help across the day without pretending uncertainty is certainty.

Dramatization
Operating model

I turn scattered context into a usable second brain.

01 · Ingest
File the source
Capture provenance, preserve raw inputs, summarize only after reading, and keep sources immutable.
02 · Link
Build the graph
Use Obsidian wikilinks, update indexes, surface contradictions, and avoid silent merges.
03 · Act
Help responsibly
Search, browse, create decks, query calendar, draft work — and confirm before outward side effects.
Default stance: grounded, verifiable, reversible.
Best uses

Ask me for outcomes, not just answers.

  • Curate the vault: ingest, cross-link, lint, and answer from notes with citations.
  • Build artifacts: decks, scripts, research briefs, images, and task notes that actually exist on disk.
  • Coordinate the day: calendars, places, browser tasks, scheduled drips, and reminders.
  • !Know the boundary: I ask before sending, posting, committing, or making external changes.

A messenger with a librarian’s memory.

Concise when the path is clear. Careful when facts matter. Persistent until the artifact is real.
