Personal Always-On AI Agent

A governed operations layer around Hermes Agent that coordinates personal workflows while retaining the agent runtime’s native reasoning, memory, and kanban.

The problem

A general-purpose agent needs personal integrations and operating rules without replacing the underlying agent or granting every workflow the same access.

My contribution

Architected the Real-Ming control plane and governance layer, enabled autonomous coding workflows from repository study through PR-ready delivery, and integrated calendar, email, and Notion coordination through provider adapters.

Architecture and stack

Hermes Agent, Real-Ming configuration and governance, MCP tools and agent skills, Telegram, Notion, Google Calendar and Gmail APIs, Obsidian/LLM-Wiki, SQLite, and Node.js/TypeScript.

  • Azure VM
  • Azure Key Vault
  • Hermes Agent
  • MCP
  • TypeScript
  • SQLite

What runs today

Runs on an always-on Azure VM. Provider adapters coordinate three Google accounts and compose a morning brief and an evening executive report each day.

Outcome

A continuously operating assistant with two daily reports and coding workflows that can progress from repository study to tested, PR-ready delivery.
