Hey everyone,

I recently stumbled across Hugging Face again, and it got me wondering how people are actually using it in their day-to-day workflows.

I haven't integrated anything from Hugging Face into my projects yet. Partly because I haven't found a compelling use case for my needs, or maybe some of the AI tools or agents I'm already using are leveraging Hugging Face behind the scenes without me realizing it.

I've done some research, but most of the examples I've found don't really match the kind of projects I'm building.

For those of you who actively use Hugging Face:

-What do you use it for?

-What real-world problems does it solve for you?

-Which Hugging Face models or services have become part of your workflow?

-Was there a point where you thought, "This is exactly why Hugging Face is useful"?

For context,so far my work in progress is related to RAG ,trading ,TTS,etc

Thnx in advance

Hey guys, just wanted to share something.

New to RAG thingy here.

I think I've built about 60% of my RAG product. The idea is simple, help people learn faster. Cut through the noise and get straight to what matters.

I won't go into the specifics of what I built, but I've generated close to 30,000 chunks of content. All of it designed to help people make better decisions. Because let's be honest, nobody has unlimited memory.

So with this RAG system, people can ask questions and get instant answers. Even if they forget a month later and ask the same thing,same answer, no hallucination. At least that's what I've seen so far. If I'm wrong about something, tell me.

The real question I have: how do you actually sell a product like this?

What's the right packaging? My goto is a landing page with a pricing table. But after that—how do customers get the product? One-time purchase? Subscription? Or do they install it locally on their own machine?

Thanks

Hey guys,

Just got Claude Pro today. Finally.

Thing is, I've got like 5 different things I need to design:

- Landing page for my ICT Vault project

- Mobile app UIs

- A dashboard

- Regular websites

- And somehow learn Claude Design on top of that

I keep finding cool GitHub repos, UI libraries, MCP servers, component collections — and I know most of them are probably useful, but I also know myself. I'll click one link, then another, then another, and suddenly I've burned half my weekly usage watching tutorial #12 and still haven't shipped anything.

What I actually want to know:

1. If you could go back to day one, what's the ONE thing you'd focus on first?

2. Which repos/resources actually saved you time vs just looked impressive in a README?

3. Any tips on Claude Design specifically? I don't want to burn 50% of my quota figuring out why it keeps making text too small and spacing weird.

4. How do you handle designing a landing page + app + dashboard without rebuilding everything from scratch each time? Design system? Templates? Copy-paste?

I'm not a designer. I can tell good design from bad design, but making good design happen is a different story. Would love to hear what actually worked for real people, not the "5 tips to supercharge your workflow" blogspam.

Thanks.

I am from Malaysia

Been running OpenWA (self-hosted WhatsApp API) + Hermes Agent for a few days. Here's what it does for me now:

11 construction WhatsApp groups. Tower crane updates, QA/QC reports, manpower tracking, safety alerts. Hermes reads all of them and summarizes everything I need to know.

Example from yesterday:

"L970 Tower Crane: 52 lifts, TC 2 dominant. Jacking postponed to Monday — hydraulic machine issue. QA/QC: 23+2 workers, Block A L6-L7 vent block ongoing."

That's 82 WhatsApp messages boiled down to 3 lines.

It also sends messages for me. Told it to text my bar bender at 7:50am tomorrow to check rebar balance. And follow up with MJN Body Paint about my Honda insurance at 8:30am. All scheduled, all automated.

The stack:

- OpenWA (self-hosted on my laptop, localhost)

- Hermes Agent (connected via REST API)

- Cronjobs for scheduled messages

- Telegram as the control interface

The part I like most? I just talk to it in Manglish on Telegram. "Check L970 groups ada apa update hari ni." It knows exactly what I mean.

No vendor lock-in. No monthly SaaS fee. No cloud dependency. Everything runs on an 8GB laptop.

AMA about the setup if you're curious.

Been working through the Inner Circle Trader back catalog on YouTube. 679 videos, 30+ playlists, mentorship content from 2016 through 2026. I wanted all of it searchable, not just saved to a playlist. Actually transcribed with timestamps so I could search for any concept across the whole library.

Hermes Agent handled the orchestration. I set up a trading profile called Robin that managed the pipeline.

The stack:

- Hermes Agent (Robin profile)

- faster-whisper tiny model, CPU-only

- YouTube Transcript API + yt-dlp

- Local markdown wiki at ~/wiki/ict-library

- Cron jobs for overnight batch runs

Results so far:

- 335 transcripts in the wiki

- 428 hours of content

- 368 out of 679 videos on the channel

- All the major playlists: 2025/2026 Lecture Series, 2023/2024/2022 Mentorship

What went wrong along the way:

Rate limits were the biggest headache. The YouTube Transcript API would fly through 50 videos in 2 minutes, then lock up for hours. yt-dlp had its own separate rate limit that'd kick in after 10-15 downloads. Three tools, three different cooldown timers, no way to know which one was usable at any given moment.

The laptop situation didn't help. 8GB RAM, no GPU, a 112GB drive that was basically full before I started. faster-whisper on CPU takes about 6-9 minutes per hour of audio. Anything over 70 minutes would OOM halfway through. I ended up chunking long videos into 3-minute segments. Hacky but reliable.

Some YouTube formats served DASH manifests instead of actual audio. The av library would hang with no error message. Took a while to figure out that switching from m4a to webm fixed it.

Disk space was a constant dance. 1-2GB free at any time meant I had to delete audio the second a transcript finished. One video at a time, clean up after yourself, don't get greedy.

Oh and some video IDs have underscores in them. split('_')[0] truncates the ID. Spent an embarrassing amount of time wondering why transcripts I just created weren't showing up in the count.

Was it worth it? Yeah. I set cron jobs to run overnight and woke up to 30+ new transcripts more than once. Now I can search "FVG" or "killzone" or "order block" and get every instance across 428 hours of content with exact timestamps. All on a laptop that was already running 24/7

Hello dearest Hermes Agent User,

Anybody here already integrating Hermes Agent and cheap /tweakable camera/CCTV?

Guys i am new here.

Can i know which websites/opensources/githuh/etc that i can explore so that i can start automate trading forex , commodity or Indicies?

Basically i trading smart money concept/ICT and adding few simple indicators.

Passed propfirm for 2 times,but unable to reach payout during livr account. My biggest problem is emotion,no doubt and i CANNOT control it

Is there any other alternative you guys using instead of Google Calender API? It kept saying access block when i set it up.

​

TQ

Anyone using an AI/Telegram agent (like Hermes) for trading, backtesting, custom indicators, or emotion-free execution?

I trade manually with a solid plan and strict entry criteria, but emotion keeps sabotaging my execution. Passed 3 prop firm challenge, yet only hit payout twice in 5 years on live accounts.

Looking to connect with anyone who's built or used an AI agent to automate backtesting, indicators, or trade discipline. Would love to swap notes.

Hey everyone,

Just trying to be straightforward here , has anyone actually built a custom indicator based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts that holds up?

I'm not looking for a full automated bot. I just want a solid alert system ,something that flags potential setups based on ICT concepts (order blocks, FVGs, liquidity sweeps, etc.) so I can manually decide whether to hit buy or sell myself. No auto-execution, just signals.

Doesn't need to be anything fancy — just a reliable, "classic" style indicator with a win rate around 55%+. That shouldn't be an unreasonable bar for something built on solid ICT logic.

If you've built one, used one, or know of a good resource/dev who has, would appreciate any pointers. Thanks in advance

Hello guys,

​

Been experimenting with cutting token usage on Hermes Agent (open-source, Claude Code/Codex-lite). Running DeepSeek V4 Flash — cheap model but context bloat still adds up.

​

What I stacked:

​

1. LLM Wiki (upgraded)

Karpathy-style markdown wiki → ChromaDB vector search + ONNX MiniLM embeddings (all local, zero API)

Knowledge graph (SQLite) for entity relationships & timeline queries

Auto-backlinks, health monitoring, 6 agent profiles sharing one wiki

Auto-reindex every 6h, git auto-commit daily

​

2. RTK (Runtime Token Reducer)

Intercepts terminal output — git/ls/test output shrunk 60-90%

Plugin installed for Hermes, zero-config

​

3. Context-aware Auto-save + /new

Agent monitors context % injected every turn

<50% → normal + auto-save important info to wiki

50-69% → "Context at 55%, save & /new?"

70-84% → "⚠️ Heavy, suggest /new"

85%+ → auto-save + force /new

After reset, just "check wiki about X" → semantic search brings results in ~5K tokens vs 150K history

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

So was thinking what you guys did to reduce token usage.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

And also is LLM wiki good?whats the hype with Obsidian anyway?

Hey everyone, .I've been running Hermes Agent on a my laptop accessed via Telegram gateway and I'm sitting on a pretty decent stack of providers right now:

xAI Grok — X Premium+ / SuperGrok OAuth (so Grok 4.3 access)

DeepSeek — V4 Flash, V4 Pro (balance $5)

Google Gemini — Free tier API key (Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, Flash, Pro, 3.5 Flash)

My question is: is there a clean way to set up automatic provider/model switching in Hermes?Like, instead of manually doing `/model` every session, I want Hermes to intelligently route tasks to the right model automatically.

I know i can just ask AI about this. But curious to know how you guys set up multiple AI providers.

Thnkx in Advance.

My hermes agebt behaving weirdly. There is repetitive answers that keep shown in its responses based on previous older chat in that topics. Even tho i only asked with very specific question, it anwers by adding responses based on previous question as well.

My original brain for my Hermes was grok 4.3 (Xoauth),

Just recently i switch to Deepseek V4 Flash and V4 Pro.

Anybody having same issue?

Hey everyone,

I've been running my Hermes Agent locally on my laptop (not on a VPS), and it's been working well. However, I'm planning to migrate it to another machine in the future, whether that's another PC, laptop, or a VPS.

My question is how do I safely migrate everything over?

This includes:

-Memory files

-Contact data

-Markdown files

-basically everything

Any other files generated by the Hermes Agent

I want to make sure nothing gets lost in the process. Has anyone done this before? I just want if this agent reinstalled at other machines,it wont lose anything and i can continue as usual.Would appreciate any tips or a step-by-step guide if possible.

Thanks!

&#x200B;

I'm using OpenCode but through Hermes Agent, directly via Telegram as the messaging gateway.

So my question is: how do I make the most of this setup? Because I'm connecting Hermes Agent to Telegram, but also to my home computer.

When I'm out, I just access everything through Telegram, which stays online even when my laptop lid is closed.

So regarding OpenCode, is there a way to unlock its full capabilities? Maybe expand what OpenCode can do from this setup. I just started, I literally just installed it.
