Sam Altman envisions a shift toward "always-on" personal AI assistants that maintain continuous context across your digital life by monitoring screens, meetings, and communications, all could become a reality within six months.

Is anyone already doing this in the truest sense? like Hemres monitoring your screen and learning about you and also doing some browsing work on its own? Hermes monitoring your other devices and connecting to you through proactive voice updates and screens?

I am still new to Hermes, using it for less than a week. I am looking for comments which can expand my thinking on what Hermes can do and what smarty people here are already using it for! Please enlighten me.

When I first read this comment of Sam Altman, my first thought was, some smart people here might already be having this setup using Hermes. Or am I overestimating what can be done using Hermes? Pardon me if this is very naive or stupid question, I am new to Hermes and AI in general.

Looking forward to hear from you all!

So, I really want to share this, and I think this will help some people. Sometimes we do feel a need to seek medical help for dealing with mental health, but searching for the right psychiatrist who listens, understands your issues, systematically pins down the root causes, and helps with medication and other non-medication suggestions—that's the most difficult part.

I was searching for a good psychiatrist in Ahmedabad, Gujarat two months back. I always sort of knew I had ADHD over the last three years, but I kept delaying a formal diagnosis. I finally reached out for help now because the next few years are absolutely critical for me, and I can no longer ignore how much ADHD is affecting my life. I was searching a lot and also had a few shortlisted. During that searching process, I came across a Reddit post about the GMERS Sola Psychiatry department which was very positive about their experience. So I thought, why not try this option first? I have a firsthand review from someone on reddit. So I went to GMERS Sola.

My experiences in detail: ( I wont share much detail about my treatment or name any person here because of privacy reasons, I will try to keep it as abstract as possible)

The first session: There were two doctors listening to me and taking notes. It was almost a 1-hour session. I went there around 3 PM and there was no queue at all. Even when I was returning home, I noticed there was hardly any queue—some 2-3 people in the sitting waiting area, that's all. The doctor listened to me with empathy, and she made clear the plan she will follow and what she will first eliminate before a proper ADHD diagnosis, and it felt very systematic. She gave some meds for helping with my symptoms in the first session. And I am inherently a very curious fellow (it is my ADHD!!!) and she answered all my questions with utmost patience and detail. Also, the notes taken by the second doctor were very detailed based on my explanation of the issues. For any next visit, I had to visit the same primary doctor who heard me in the first session. There were always two doctors attending me, one was primary interacting and the other doctor took detailed notes, took tests and observed. This was the same setup in every next session. Even the building security guard was super helpful in guiding me to the psychiatry dept as it was my first time going there.

The second session: It was after 15 days. She took the updates and took a few self-evaluation tests including ASRS v1.1 and VADRS. She discussed some ADHD-friendly techniques which I should try, and as part of the evaluation, she asked me to bring my parents to the next session as it is very important for a psychiatrist to verify the traits were also present since childhood for an ADHD diagnosis. It is part of international standards like DSM-5 recommendations. She was following international standard procedures!
(By this time the medication was having a positive impact especially the rumination and anxiety)

The third session: My father came with me this time. There were two doctors. One doctor took the response of the NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment Scale (Parent Informant) based questionnaire from my dad in a separate area while the primary doctor was taking updates from me. The doctor explained to my dad all the questions one by one in detail and marked his responses. And after that, the primary doctor herself interacted with my dad, confirming traits in my childhood right from 5 years of age. She also suggested I read a book, Mastering Your Adult ADHD: A Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment Program, Client Guide by Steven A. Safren, Susan E. Sprich, and Carol A. Perlman. I have started reading it and it seem really helpful and systematic, also I read some positive posts on reddit about it. Also, as always she answered my questions in detail and in easy to understandable way. I requested her if she can explain to my father about adult ADHD and ADHD in general, and she beautifully explained to my father in detail. That really helps when a doctor explains especially to our parents because their generation don't know about ADHD and many other neurodivergence.

Next session will be after 15 days, with other pending tests. By the third session, she seemed certain I have the inattentive ADHD type. I think she kind of knew it was ADHD but I think she wanted to eliminate some things to be sure of, anyways, the doctor was following international standard procedure for ADHD diagnosis.

My experiences in brief:

1. The doctors are super helpful, listen with empathy, and they guide you with good techniques apart from medication. There were always two doctors attending me. One primary doctor always remains the same for all subsequent visits. The notes taken by doctor for each visits are well recorded and you have to bring them with you. The doctors were professional and very helpful, they always make sure you are comfortable expressing your issues and you feel heard. They also make you understand what and how the medicines will help and in which area you have to put some effort and they will help with that also with tips and techniques. She even suggested to me some really good resources to read about managing my ADHD and help improve my focus. Also, the medications are really helping!
2. Generally, niche topics like adult ADHD are not well studied and known in India, but here I was surprised. My doctor not only knew but understood it well, as if she herself has it (I have no idea if she has or not), but she heard with empathy, and during discussions, it always felt like she knows ADHD inside out. And the most important thing for me, she answered all questions in detail and with patience. She always gave enough time in every session. And the other doctors who were along with her were also very attentive and responsive, listening with empathy. They know what they are doing!
3. If I open ADHD India sub on reddit, it seems from many posts and comments that there are not many doctors in India who really understands adult ADHD, and if you are from Ahmedabad or Gandhinagar in Gujarat, you guys have highly competent doctors in your city government hospital!

If you are living in Ahmedabad or Gandhinagar, and you are confused about which psychiatrist you should approach, I think GMERS Sola (Ahmedabad) has very good doctors, all services free of charge, and medicines also for free. So, I would strongly recommend taking the maximum benefit of our government services. They have exceptional doctors and great service!! Right from taking a token (very small queue because of the ABHA application, it does not take much time and two out of three times I did not face any queue at all) to visiting the doctor, discussing, till the collecting the medicine (from the ground floor), the entire experience is so smooth.

I hope this post helps anyone who is thinking about seeking professional help for mental health.

Thank you for reading the post.

I am new to Hermes and Copilot, and I recently got my GitHub Student Developer Pack activated. I know some programming, and I am looking forward to using it to make something useful for myself and others with AI.

(Anyone who wants to directly read my questions can scroll down to the end of this post.)

I am a student studying in a non-technical field for a non-technical career profile, so I am not looking to build my CV around technology. However, I want to learn programming and AI tools as a hobby and build meaningful products for me and people with ADHD. I am a heavy Arena AI agent mode user who taught me so much about programming and upsetting my hermes agent, I learned a lot about CI/CD pipeline, cloud hosting, networking, hosting, memory search algorithms, technical architecture planning, where to and where to not use LLM models etc... from Zero to some shallow technical knowledge, atleast I know how some basic things are working and which part is for what purpose and Hows and whys of every code script (I cant help, my adhd curiosity just makes me go deep down into rabit holes)

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and my psychiatrist suggested I read Mastering Your Adult ADHD: A Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment Program, Client Workbook (this book is well researched and highly highly appreciated on ADHD sub of reddit, and my therapist strongly recommended me to just once read it and start using it) so I am confident that this workbook is worth converting into a good user friendly product) and apply its lessons and exercises to everyday life. There are two parts to this book: one is for the client (the individual with adhd) and the other is for the therapist/adhd coach/psychiatrist. I think my psychiatrist will follow her version of the book, and she will use my bi-weekly updates based on my notes from the client workbook during our sessions. The book mentions a 12-to-14-week plan with good researched techniques that help manage ADHD and find unique, individualized ways to work around specific weaknesses of adhd

Now, naturally, as someone with ADHD who is currently hyper-focused on tech and AI, I want to build a Hermes AI agent (by Nous research) setup that helps both the client and the therapist. I am currently using one hermes agent setup (with chromium, searxng, hindsight, and other various open source tools) with Deep Seek V4 flash APIs for myself helping with my studies and some traits of adhd like body doubling, focused sessions, day and task breakdown etc...

Afcourse I will add other customization and layers on top of Hermes agent and also add some custom skills to it. The primary user will be the client, and relevant data can be shared with the therapist. I am currently in the planning phase, figuring out how to build an AI-powered product that serves the best interests of the people with adhd, helps manage ADHD, and adds value to therapy sessions.

If this works for me personally, and after making some improvements based on the advice of my therapist, I plan to make it open-source if I am satisfied with its quality and utility. That way, anyone can use it, benefit from it, improve it, or customize it however they want in consultation with their therapist, also later I may think of making its setup non technical friendly so basically anyone without technical knowledge can customize it. Afcourse privacy will be an issue, I am still thinking a solution for it.

How can I make the most of Copilot and the student benefits I just received? I am completely new to this. Up until now, I have been using VS Code and Arena AI's agent mode for coding help.

I was planning to buy a Claude Code subscription, but since I am a student, I would prefer to save that money. I want to know if there is anything within my current GitHub Student benefits that can give me access to powerful AI models for coding help and guidance. I have done some preliminary work on the technical architecture and use cases and am still developing them. Right now, I haven't finished reading the book yet, but any suggestions are welcome.

Questions/suggestions needed:

1. How can I use hermes agent setup for this project?
2. I am not sure if I should build this adhd setup on top of my current agent or should build a new Hermes agent or just make a different profile in current setup. I am not sure because I want to later make this open source for people(people with adhd and/or therapists/professionals) to add/improve it and use it. Any suggestion is welcomed here.
3. How can I use my student package benefits to access decent AI models for coding for free, without the hassle of constantly hitting daily limits? (Hitting one or two daily limits or switching models is completely okay and manageable for me.)
4. I am primarily looking for a "vibe coding" setup. How can I use Copilot for this? Are there better AI coding harnesses, agentic coding tools/platforms like Claude Code or OpenCode that I can use?
5. What are the best AI models and coding setup tools included in the GitHub Student Developer Pack that I can use to build a complex project like the one described above?
6. Any suggestions, help, or guidance would be highly appreciated.

I am myself searching for these answers and have read the some reddit content and some Github website content for student package benifits, some content from hermes website, talking help from Arena AI agent mode etc... (Honestly, it is overwhelming for a non technical person to see so many tools available and understand what each of those tools/platforms does and figuring out how they can help me), but I want to make sure I do not miss the full potential of Hermes and Copilot and student benifit package so I thought to seek advise of much more experienced and technical people here. Please forgive me for any naive question or unnecessary details or comments I have consciously or unintentionally wrote. This is my first time posting here. Thank you all.

The workbook I was talking about.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. Thank you for everything!

I am new to Copilot, and I recently got my GitHub Student Developer Pack activated. I know some programming, and I am looking forward to using it to make something useful for myself and others with AI.

(Anyone who wants to directly read my questions can scroll down to the end of this post.)

I am a student studying in a non-technical field for a non-technical career profile, so I am not looking to build my CV around technology. However, I want to learn programming and AI as a hobby and build meaningful products for me and people with ADHD. I am a heavy Arena AI agent mode user who taught me so much about programming and upsetting my hermes agent, I learned a lot about CI/CD pipeline, cloud hosting, networking, hosting, memory search algorithms, technical architecture planning, where to and where to not use LLM models etc... from Zero to some shallow technical knowledge, atleast I know how things are working and which part is for what purpose and Hows and whys of every code script (I cant help, my adhd curiosity just makes me go deep down into rabit holes)
