AI Learning Period

The AI requires approximately 7 to 20 days of consistent use to fully understand your life context before it can effectively build an automated dashboard.

Advantages of Obsidian vs Telegram

Avoid storing your dashboard in Telegram as it will end up looking like an unreadable 'wall of text'. Obsidian provides a much cleaner layout and is easily accessible on mobile.

The Importance of Metaprompting

For now, you need to perform 'metaprompting' or provide specific instructions at the end of an interaction to ensure the AI organizes information according to your preferred dashboard structure.

Daily Dashboard Generation

Target: Hermes Agent
Based on my activities and tasks recorded over the past few days, generate a structured daily dashboard in markdown format. Create a file named 'home.md' with the following sections: 1. Important Updates for the Week, 2. Today's To-Do List, 3. Upcoming Travel, 4. Work Projects, and 5. Personal Tasks. Keep the language concise and the layout clean for Obsidian.
Step by Step

Setting Up an Automatic Obsidian Dashboard with Hermes Agent

  1. Start by installing Hermes Agent on your device.
  2. Use Hermes Agent consistently every day for all your personal and work tasks for at least 7 to 20 days.
  3. Develop a habit of 'defaulting' to Hermes Agent for every workflow so the AI can collect data regarding your routines, projects, and schedules.
  4. Open the Obsidian app and set up a dedicated vault or folder to store your markdown (.md) files.
  5. Instruct Hermes Agent to convert your interaction data into a structured markdown format.
  6. Use a 'Meta-prompt' at the end of your session to ask the AI to automatically update the 'home.md' file with specific categories such as 'Upcoming Travel', 'Work', and 'Personal'.
  7. Open the 'home.md' file in Obsidian on your mobile or desktop to view your AI-updated personal dashboard.
