Before you begin

Gather the information the Bots need

Confirmed launch objective and target date
Available people and budget
Known requirements, risks, evidence, and audiences

Run the first version one step at a time

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

Create a launch plan from this confirmed objective. Separate open ideas from approved work, list milestones, owners, dependencies, decision dates, and risks, then build a message map from the approved facts.

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

Decisions for a person

Confirm priorities, owners, and dates
Resolve budget, capacity, and risk decisions
Approve the message and every public claim

First test

Try the workflow with low-risk material

Build a plan for a small internal launch and review every assignment with the named owner.

Set it up in Hermes Desktop

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

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