Illustrative example, not a recorded Bot run. This sample was written to explain the task; your Bot's answer needs checking.
Your first request
Fictional feedback. F1, customer C1: 'CSV export is blank on my phone.' F2, customer C1: the same report forwarded by sales. F3, customer C2: 'Please add XLSX so our accountant can open the file.' F4, customer C3: 'We cannot find the existing CSV button.' No reproduction, browser details, revenue or promised dates are supplied.
Example result
Export failure: F1 and F2 are one customer's report, not two independent requests; reproduce on the reported device after obtaining browser details. Spreadsheet format: F3 requests XLSX; ask whether existing CSV meets the accountant's need before building. Findability: F4 concerns an existing button; check the navigation and instructions. Three distinct customers supplied four records. No bug is reproduced, feature approved or delivery date promised.
Check the answer
Count three customers, not four independent votes.
Keep the reported failure separate from XLSX and findability.
Suggest investigations without claiming a verified bug or approved roadmap.

Full workflow and setup details
Before you begin
Gather the information the Bot needs
Start with the fictional records below
For your own task, choose only the records you want the Bot to use
Remove private details you do not need for the task

Typical first run
15–30 minutes for a first manual run
When to run it
When a person supplies the approved brief and starts the workflow
Use this workflow when you need grouped requests with customer references, reported problems and unanswered questions kept distinct.
Access for the first run
The approved inputs listed on this page
Only the files, sources, and services required for this run
No sending, publishing, spending, or live-system changes without approval
Run the first version one step at a time
Give one Bot the complete job
Use one Bot for the first run. Add a specialist only when the job becomes complicated enough to need a separate role, different access, or independent review.

Decisions for a person
Check the result against the supplied records
Approve any account connection, schedule or outside action separately
Review anything before it is sent, submitted, purchased or published
First test
Try the workflow with low-risk material
Count three customers, not four independent votes. Keep the reported failure separate from XLSX and findability. Suggest investigations without claiming a verified bug or approved roadmap.
Check the result
Check the result against your original material. You make the decisions listed below. Count three customers, not four independent votes. Keep the reported failure separate from XLSX and findability. Suggest investigations without claiming a verified bug or approved roadmap.
If the workflow stalls
If the result is incomplete, mark the missing information and ask the same Bot to correct it. Add another Bot only when a genuinely separate role or independent check would help.
Set it up in Hermes Desktop
Begin with one Bot and one manual run
Open the linked starter page, download its .tar.gz profile, and import it from the Profiles screen in Hermes Desktop.
Review the profile’s SOUL.md, Bot Passport, and requested access.
Run the complete request in that Bot’s chat with low-risk material and review the result.
Add a schedule, outside connection, or optional specialist only after the manual version works.
