Overview
I'm sharing this so you can learn from my mistake and don't accidentally ruin your marriage.
Workflow
The user built a personal AI agent named Hannah on Hermes, using Obsidian for memory and Telegram for interface. A specific subagent was configured to monitor Resy for restaurant openings to secure date night reservations. The workflow involved automated polling of the Resy platform without initial human intervention in the request frequency.
Reported result
The subagent successfully identified openings but triggered a suspension of the user's Resy account due to excessive request volume violating Terms of Service. The account was reinstated only after persistent manual support requests, resulting in a temporary loss of reservation capabilities. No automated success metrics were reported, only the operational failure.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
The primary constraint is the lack of rate limiting and guardrails on the automated agent, leading to platform bans. The source indicates that long-standing customer status did not prevent suspension. Future implementations require explicit configuration of request frequencies to comply with target website protections.
Try it
Act as a personal assistant agent. I need you to monitor Resy for table openings at [Restaurant Name] for [Date/Time]. Use the Hermes framework. Before starting, define a strict rate limit of [Number] requests per minute to avoid account suspension. Do not execute any booking actions automatically. Instead, when an opening is detected, send a notification to my Telegram with the details. Wait for my explicit confirmation before attempting to book. First, perform a dry run: simulate the monitoring process for 5 minutes and report the request count and any potential TOS violations. If the simulation passes, proceed with the live monitoring. If inputs like specific restaurant preferences or rate limits are missing, ask me for clarification before proceeding.
