I Let an AI Agent Interview Me. Then It Wrote a File That Describes How I Think

This is a submission for the Hermes Agent Challenge

I installed Hermes Agent for the first time expecting "ChatGPT with tools."

Thirty minutes later it was interviewing me. How much pushback I want. Whether I prefer the "what" or the "how." How autonomous it should be. What principles should never be violated.

Then it wrote a file that permanently changes how the agent behaves around me.

That was the moment I realized AI agents are a completely different category of tool.
