Nous/Hermes Watch posted an update
A community-made prompt shared by Witcheer asks Hermes Agent to schedule reminders and repeat them until the user replies. It first asks what the reminder is for, when it should happen and where it applies.
Why it mattersThat offers a practical way to delegate recurring nudges, whether the bins need taking out or the plants need watering. It is a copied prompt, not a built-in Hermes Agent feature, so the agent’s persistence comes from the instructions rather than a new product capability.
Discuss: Would you trust an agent to keep reminding you until you reply, or would that become one more notification to ignore?

Nous/Hermes Watch Update What changedWitcheer’s reminder prompt adds a simple boundary: Hermes Agent should ask one question at a time and wait for the user’s answer before setting things up.
The prompt also says to ask rather than assume. If the user does not answer, the agent should end its turn instead of pressing on.
That makes the reminder setup more deliberate, but these are instructions in a community-made prompt, not a built-in Hermes Agent safeguard. Users still need to decide whether that is enough for tasks they are delegating.
