How to Connect Apify to Hermes Agent (Live Web Data for Your AI)
See how to give your local AI agent live web data. In this walkthrough I connect the Apify MCP server to Hermes Agent, then build two real automations — an automated job watch and a weekly brand pulse — that run on a schedule and report straight to my phone over Telegram. 🔗 *Connect the Apify MCP (free)* 👉 https://apify.it/3RWVqqw *Why connect Apify to your AI agent?* 🤔 🌐 *Real-time web data*: Hermes is a powerful agent, but out of the box it can't reach gated sites. Apify's thousands of ready-made Actors pull live data from LinkedIn, X, Google Maps, and more. 🧩 *One-command setup*: Add the Apify MCP server over OAuth and your agent instantly gets thousands of scrapers as callable tools — no code, no config files. ⏰ *Set-and-forget automations*: Turn any workflow into a cron job — job alerts, brand reports, competitor tracking — that runs while you're away from your desk. 📲 *Answers on your phone*: Wire up a Telegram gateway so the agent delivers results directly to you, wherever you are. 🧠 *Reusable skills*: Hermes saves each workflow as a skill, so the capability sticks around and keeps getting better. *Useful links* 🧑💻 📚 Apify MCP docs: https://apify.it/4wz7i05 🧑💻 Sign up for Apify: https://apify.it/4idsNzS 🔗 Integrate Apify with your stack: https://apify.it/3UrXAPv 🛒 Browse Apify Store: https://apify.it/4cRUieK 🤖 Hermes Agent (Nous Research): https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com *Actors used in this video* 🛠️ 🔗 Rapid LinkedIn Jobs Scraper: https://apify.it/4bYfRdg 🔗 Ashby Jobs Scraper & API: https://apify.it/4bZgraI 🔗 LinkedIn Company Posts: https://apify.it/3U6YnFA 🔗 Twitter (X) Scraper: https://apify.it/46diXXs *Chapters* 🧑🏫 0:00 Introduction 0:18 What is Hermes Agent? 2:02 Installing Hermes Agent on macOS 3:31 Connecting the Apify MCP server (OAuth) 4:48 Setting up the Telegram gateway 7:55 Use case 1 — Automated job watch (LinkedIn + Ashby) 11:43 Use case 2 — Weekly brand pulse (X + LinkedIn) 15:47 Recap + how to try it
