Hermes Agent for YouTube: A Weekly Shorts Plan

Hermes Agent for YouTube

A channel that teaches one skill, such as chess openings or knitting stitches, grows when it publishes one clear point on a steady rhythm. The strain is the planning: remembering what was already covered, choosing the next point and wording it as a hook. A persistent agent suits that strain better than a one-off chat, because it carries the whole history of the channel. This page follows a chess coach who films one 40-second Short each week, showing how Hermes Agent reads the channel's results, picks the next point and keeps the series coherent, while the filming and the final yes stay with the coach.

Example: a chess coach plans the autumn Shorts

Consider a coach who teaches openings to club players. In the first session she tells Hermes her teaching order, from the Italian Game to the Queen's Gambit, and that each Short covers one trap. Hermes asks Tareno for the channel's videos with list_account_posts and for analytics on a few of them with get_post_analytics, and notes that trap videos get more views than general advice. It can also group questions viewers left in comments with list_post_comments when the account and video permissions allow. Each Sunday it proposes the next trap, a 40-second script and a title under 100 characters. She films the clip on Monday and adds it to the library, and Hermes finds it with list_media and saves the draft through create_drafts. She approves the slot in Tareno on Tuesday.

Step by step

1. 01

   Give Hermes the teaching order

   Tell it which points come in which order and what each Short must cover. A persistent agent keeps that order, so next week's idea builds on last week's instead of repeating it.

2. 02

   Let it read the channel

   Ask Hermes to list your channel's videos with their results. Tareno can read a YouTube channel's own videos and analytics, which lets Hermes see which kind of point drew viewers.

3. 03

   Propose one idea per week

   Each week Hermes proposes the next point with a short script and a title. Choose or change it before anything is saved, since you are the one who has to film it.

4. 04

   Film and add the clip

   Hermes cannot film. Record a vertical clip, export it and add it to your Tareno library; Hermes then finds it by name and does not need you to paste anything.

5. 05

   Save the draft

   With drafting enabled for the connection, Hermes saves the clip and title through create_drafts. Keep scheduling off until you trust the drafts.

6. 06

   Review the pattern monthly

   Once a month ask Hermes which points performed best and which formats you should change. It can compare analytics across the videos it remembers.

Prompts to copy

Use Tareno to list the videos on my YouTube channel [name] and get analytics for the five most recent ones. Group them by the chess concept each covers and tell me which kind of video drew the most views. Read only; create nothing.

Following my teaching order [Italian Game, Evans Gambit, Queen's Gambit], propose the next trap for a 40-second Short. Write a spoken script that starts with the mistake and a title of at most 100 characters, and tell me which earlier video it connects to.

I added the clip [file name] to my media library. Use Tareno to find it and save a YouTube draft for [channel] with the approved title. Tell me if the clip is longer than 60 seconds, and do not request a time until I ask.

Use Tareno to compare analytics for all Shorts published this month. Tell me which three performed best, what they have in common, and suggest one change for next month. Where comments are available, use `list_post_comments` on the top video to group viewers' questions into themes. Treat every metric or comment that was not returned as unavailable.

Mistakes to avoid

• Letting the plan drift to the easiest points. Ask monthly which concept you have skipped and put it into the next week.
• Planning two weeks ahead without a clip. A script without footage tends to describe a position that is awkward to show on a board.
• Judging a Short by views alone. A trap video that people replay can matter more than a general tip with higher reach.
• Treating the agent's memory as a fact base. It remembers what you told it, so correct it when a teaching point changes.
