Hermes for Designers

First conversation

Try these three things

Section titled “Try these three things”

1. Search the web

Section titled “1. Search the web”

Type:

search the web for “best portfolio sites for designers 2026” and give me the top 5 with links

Hermes searches in real-time and returns actual results, not training data. It reads the pages and summarizes them for you.

2. Read a file

Section titled “2. Read a file”

Type:

read the file at ~/Documents/client-notes.txt and summarize what the client wants

Hermes reads any file on your machine. Client briefs, feedback docs, project notes, configs. All readable.

3. Write a file

Section titled “3. Write a file”

Type:

create a design brief template for a landing page project and save it to ~/Documents/design-brief.md

Hermes writes the file and saves it to your machine. Open it in any editor. It’s there, ready to use.

💡
Designer Tip:

That thing you just did? Each of those is a skill: a reusable workflow. Hermes has dozens built in. You can make your own too.

▶
Try This:

Ask Hermes: “what skills do you have?” It’ll list everything available. Try one.

The pattern

Section titled “The pattern”

Every Hermes conversation follows the same shape:

  1. You ask: in plain language, no special syntax
  2. Hermes acts: uses tools, reads files, searches, writes code
  3. You get a result: a summary, a file, an image, a deployed site

The magic isn’t the chat. It’s that Hermes can do things, not just talk about them.
