Set up personally by Doston · Tashkent
I install Hermes Agent or Grok Bot into your system. Then a workshop so your team knows what to hand it. Then I keep it running.

One morning on the desk — click around
Example Tuesday
While you were in the other room
47 threads down to 6 that need a human. The rest filed or drafted.
Two collisions flagged. Holds suggested. Nothing moved.
12 accounts scored. Contacts pulled. Review list on your desk.
Receipts matched to policy. 3 exceptions, follow-ups drafted.
Supplier sheet entered in the portal. Submit still locked.
A morning of work is waiting on your yes. Nothing left the building.
The GTM write-up, playing as a bot team: connectors, meeting prep, inbox drafts, Granola follow-ups, overnight sheet, then 2 pairs before the batch.
Watch it work. Click a bot to take over.
Voice note in. Laptop shutting. Prep Tuesday.

Before the full batch
Email: subject + 3–4 sentences. LinkedIn: shorter, same hook, never mentions that you emailed them. Your style profile. Drafts only.
SSO first, then seats
Same hook · no mention of email

One bot per strategic account
New content only. State file so it doesn’t repeat. Podcasts and talks actually consumed. If a transcript can’t be obtained, it says so.

Auto-updates so forecast calls aren’t a scavenger hunt. Next steps from the call, not invented.

Gong · external calls only
Watches the call. What went well, what to fix. Not a transcript dump.
“Cursor 10x engineer”
Connected to the repo (or Glean). Customer-facing answer, not a stack trace.
Safari 18 spinner is a known staging bug in checkout. Production is untouched. We can show the repro on staging this week — no production change required for SSO.
Warehouse · book usage
Who’s using, who’s hitting plan limits. Limit hits are a first-class expansion angle — same signal the prospecting sheet uses.
Weekly manager sync
Meetings Granola’d so you can hand off what you discussed and set reminders. Not a recap dump.
Not a chatbot I wrapped. A working agent in your system, a workshop so people use it, and someone who keeps it from rotting.
Approval rules go in before it can send or spend.
Workshop What is it allowed to read?
Inbox, calendar, files. The supplier portal. Not the bank.
Rule Draft. Never send. Ping only for money, a complaint, or a yes.
And if it does not know?
Rule It checks with you. That is the product.
Login expired overnight. I renew it. The routine keeps running.
Site changed. Skill went stale. I rewrite it from a recording.
New “never send to this domain.” Added to the skill, not a Slack thread.
One deployment, start to finish
Example files, not a client testimonial. Four days, one window — scroll to walk it.
01 / 04
We pick the stack and write down what it may touch. Mail, calendar, files, the supplier portal. Not the bank.
02 / 04
You and whoever assigns the work agree where it stops. Draft, never send. Ping only for money, a complaint, or a yes.
03 / 04
Cron at 01:00. Laptop shut. It works the pile and delivers to you — not to your customers.
04 / 04
01:14. A morning of work is done and nothing left the building. You approve it over coffee.
22:47. One talks. One already did the work and stopped.
Clear the inbox. Draft replies.
Sure — here’s a draft you can copy and paste.
Just send them.
I can’t open your mail. You’ll need to send each one yourself.

You approve anything that sends, pays, or publishes. That is the point.
A person to run this desk is a salary. I stay on for the install, the workshop, and the upkeep.

Install waived for the first 3 this month. If it doesn’t save time in week one, nothing owed.
Three setups at a time.
Install waived for the first three this month. No contract — if week one doesn’t save you time, you owe nothing.

No. ChatGPT answers in a box. Hermes Agent and Grok Bot have a computer — browser, files, terminal, memory, schedules — and they stop for your yes before they send or spend.
The pile on this page: inbox, calendar, research, outreach, expenses, forms, hiring packs, overnight watches. If the job lives in a browser, a file, or a mailbox — and you will approve the last inch — it belongs on the desk.
Hermes lives on your server and reaches you in the apps you already message. Grok Bot is a cloud teammate that signs into office tools and keeps working when the laptop is closed. We pick from the work you have, not from a feature list.
A session with you and whoever will assign the work. What the agent should own this month. What it must never do unsupervised. How to give it a job so it uses the tools, not a paragraph.
Updates, logins, skills, routines, approval rules. When a website or a workflow changes, the agent goes stale unless someone minds it. That someone is me.
Hermes can stay on your machine; model calls go only to the provider we choose together. Grok Bot runs on its cloud computer under your account. I tell you the difference before we pick. It is not used to train anyone else’s assistant.
Four days from now there is a morning of work waiting on your yes. Nothing sent, nothing spent, nothing left the building.
