Hermes Agent Challenge Submission: Build With Hermes Agent
This is a submission for the Hermes Agent Challenge
What I Built
Well we are always in a hurry in the morning catching up on that favourite mocha and toast in our hand. Realising the need to give time to the news at that time of the day sounds unrealistic for the professionals in rush and struggling to make time for themselves even. Recognising a typical physical newspaper to read and mug up the information to find insights would be time-consuming and AI news apps to the least demand subscription and display detailed summary.What do I bring among you all is Daily Digest Agent a self-hosted, fully autonomous AI agent that researches the news on your chosen topics every morning and delivers a structured briefing straight to your inbox.
This is not a usual news digest tool which has a fixed prompt and hardcoded URLs. Hermes Agent runs a real multi-step loop — it plans its own searches, decides which articles are worth reading, fetches and extracts full article content, spots cross-topic patterns, and writes a clean digest. Then it emails it to you. Every single day, automatically, for free.The agent also gets smarter over time. After each run, it updates a skill memory log — tracking which topics returned rich results and which ran dry. By run 5, it's already adjusting its own search strategy without any input from you.
