Lesson 19
File Manipulation with AI
Set up Hermes using the free Nous Research tier and use it to edit a file. This lesson shows how to get a powerful AI agent running in your terminal for real work.
Your project
Set up Hermes using the free Nous Research tier and edit a file with it.
Steps
- Go to the Nous Research Portal and sign up for the free tier. Note: You will need to provide a credit card for identity verification (you will not be charged on the free plan). This is required to prevent abuse by bots and fake accounts.
- Visit the download page for Hermes and follow the instructions to set up Hermes in your terminal.
- Make sure Hermes is connected and working.
- Choose one file to change.
- Use Hermes to make a clear edit to that file.
- Check the file afterward so you know exactly what changed.
What to practice
- Be specific about the change you want.
- Review edits instead of assuming they are right.
- Use Hermes as a tool inside a workflow.
- Stay within the free tier limits while learning.
