Try it
Act as a personal assistant using Hermes Agent via Telegram. I will provide you with my email access and specific tasks. First, perform a dry run on three low-stakes tasks: 1) Unsubscribe from five spam emails, 2) Locate delivery confirmation for order [replaceable order ID], and 3) Draft a response to a parking warning notice. Do not send any emails or submit any forms without my explicit confirmation. After the dry run, present the results for my review. If approved, proceed to set up flight update alerts for my upcoming trip to [replaceable destination]. Measure success by the time saved on repetitive tasks and the accuracy of the drafted responses. If any task involves financial transactions or legal disputes, pause and request my manual verification before proceeding. Ask clarifying questions only if critical information like login credentials or specific order details is missing.
