Send one clear message to each Bot

Start in individual Bot chats. After you approve a result, paste it into the next Bot’s chat with the message shown below. This gives you a clear handoff and keeps the order predictable.

Overall request

Prepare a three-item morning briefing from the approved source list. Explain why each item matters, link every source, and mark any fact that remains uncertain.

Use this as the project brief. The step messages above tell each Bot which part to complete.

Decisions for a person

  • Choose the topics and sources
  • Approve any recurring schedule
  • Decide whether to share the brief
First test

Try the workflow with low-risk material

Use five approved sources to produce a three-item brief. Open every link and check every key claim.

Set it up in Hermes Desktop

Begin with individual chats, then add a group when the handoffs work

  1. Open each linked starter page and follow its manual Hermes Desktop setup steps.
  2. Run each step in that Bot’s own chat and review the result.
  3. Pass the approved result to the next Bot with the provided step message.
  4. After the sequence works, create an optional group with the same Bots.
  5. In a group, @mention the Bot you want. Membership order does not control who responds.
