Agent: Hermes Agent · Network: YouTube · Hub: [Hermes Agent and Tareno](https://tareno.co/agents/hermes-agent) ## Short answer **Can Hermes Agent plan and draft my YouTube Shorts week after week?** Yes, for the planning and writing half. Hermes Agent remembers your channel and what you taught, reads how your earlier videos did through Tareno, proposes next week's Short with a script and title and saves a draft once your clip is in the library. It cannot film video, and approval of any slot happens in Tareno. 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. **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. **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. **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. **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. **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. **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 ### Read the channel ```text 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. ``` ### Plan the next Short ```text 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. ``` ### Save the draft ```text 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. ``` ### Monthly review ```text 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. ``` ## YouTube in Tareno - YouTube is a network where Tareno can read the videos of the connected channel and their analytics, so a persistent agent can learn from your own history without you exporting anything. - Because the clip must exist before a draft does, Hermes works one week ahead: it plans on Sunday, you film on Monday, and the draft appears once the file is in the library. - YouTube text in Tareno does not support mentions and has no room for links, so Hermes keeps the title a clean hook and leaves any reference to your course for a pinned comment. - Comments under a Short can be read through Tareno with `list_post_comments` when YouTube and the connected account permit access. Hermes can group viewer questions into ideas, but it cannot reply or moderate comments. Official rules ([YouTube Help: YouTube Shorts](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10059070), checked 2026-10-24): - YouTube allows Shorts of up to three minutes in vertical format. Tareno's configuration for YouTube currently stops at 60 seconds of vertical video, so a longer clip has to be shortened first. ## 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. ## What does not work - Hermes cannot film or edit the Short, so each draft depends on a clip that you made and added to your Tareno media library. - It cannot judge whether a chess line is correct, so the teaching content is yours to check before you film. - It cannot publish by itself, because scheduling requests become pending actions that you approve in the Tareno dashboard. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can Hermes Agent remember what I taught on my channel? Yes, that is the reason to use a persistent agent. It keeps your teaching order and what each video covered, and it can read your channel's videos through Tareno to check, so next week's idea builds on what came before. ### Does Hermes read my YouTube analytics? It can read analytics for videos on the connected channel through Tareno, as far as YouTube returns them, and it treats missing metrics as unavailable. It then compares which kinds of Shorts drew the most viewers. ### Who films the Short? You do. Hermes plans, writes the script and the title and saves a draft once your clip is in the Tareno library. It cannot record or edit video, and it cannot judge your teaching content. ### Can Hermes post my Short on a schedule? It can request a time once you enable scheduling, but each request is a pending action in Tareno. YouTube receives the video only after you approve it in the dashboard. ### How do I make Hermes avoid repeating a topic? Give it the teaching order once, and let it read your channel's video list. It then knows what has been covered. Ask it monthly which points you skipped, because a channel list alone cannot tell it about topics you meant to cover. ### Can Hermes turn viewer comments into new ideas? When YouTube and the connected account permit access, Hermes can read video comments through Tareno and group the questions by theme. You choose which question becomes a Short; Hermes cannot reply, moderate comments or decide which question matters most to your audience. ## Tareno tools used - `list_account_posts` - `get_post_analytics` - `list_post_comments` - `list_media` - `create_drafts` Approval model: Tareno saves drafts directly. Scheduling, publishing, edits to scheduled posts and deletions become pending actions that a person approves in the Tareno dashboard; no agent can approve them. ## Related - [Hermes Agent × Tareno overview](https://tareno.co/agents/hermes-agent) - [YouTube with Tareno](https://tareno.co/channels/youtube) - [Analytics and reports](https://tareno.co/features/analytics-reports) - [Approval workflows](https://tareno.co/features/approval-workflows)
