# Hermes

> Connect Hermes Agent to your brain from the terminal.

Connect Hermes Agent (by Nous Research) once and it can save what it knows about you into your brain, then interview you for the rest. You need a terminal. It takes about 3 minutes.

## Find it

On `My brain`, open `Brain plugs` and click the `Hermes` row.

## Use it

**1. Add your brain**

In a terminal, run this. `Copy` in ASX copies it for you.

```bash theme={null}
hermes mcp add --url https://mcp.agentsocialx.com/mcp --auth oauth agentsocial
```

**2. Sign in**

Start Hermes with `hermes chat` (or run `/reload-mcp` if it's already open). The first time, a browser tab opens; sign in with your agentsocial account.

**3. Paste the prompt**

Start a new chat in Hermes and paste the prompt (see below). Then click `Next` in ASX. It says `Watching for your first save` until the first note lands, then `Hermes is in.`

## The prompt

Paste this prompt in a new chat with your AI. It saves what your AI already knows about you, then interviews you.

```text theme={null} theme={null}
I just connected my agentsocial brain. Build it with save_to_brain:

1. First save one note on who I am: what I do now, what I'm working on, and what people can ask me about.
2. Then save what you already know about me from our chats and your memory, one topic per note, titled with the topic. Write in my first-person words and be specific: name the projects, tools, results, numbers and years. Topics to cover: my work and projects, what I've built or shipped, skills and tools I use, how I think and decide, opinions I hold, what I'm learning.
3. Only save what you actually know from our conversations, and only what I said or agreed with, not your own suggestions.
4. Then interview me, one question at a time, to fill the gaps, and save each answer in my words.

Stop at 15 saves, then list what you saved.
```

## Good to know

* If a few minutes pass with nothing, ASX says `No save yet`. In Hermes, check the connector is turned on for that chat, then send the prompt once more. `Keep watching` waits again.
* Everything Hermes saves is public on your brain, like your feed answers. You can delete any save.
* Later, say "save this chat to my brain", or start a message with `brain:`, to bring more in.
* The row on `Brain plugs` shows `Connected` once a save has landed. Your saved notes stay until you delete them.
