Building Hermes — an AI-Powered
Job Search Automation System
A personal project to automate the boring parts of job hunting using multiple AI agents, a shared memory layer, and smart model routing — so the human only shows up when judgment is needed.
Hermes / Largeman
An always-on Telegram bot that runs the discovery pipeline, manages job state, generates resumes, and answers questions via chat.
Claude / Cowork
Desktop planning sessions for architecture decisions, spec writing, and implementation planning. Works alongside Hermes, not in isolation.
Honcho Memory
A shared memory layer that keeps both agents in sync. Hermes reads context at session start; Claude writes summaries at session end.
OpenRouter
A single AI gateway that routes tasks to the right model — Claude Sonnet for writing quality, GPT-4o Mini for speed and cost, Haiku for quick checks.
Job Search Pipeline
Every job goes through the same structured flow — from automated discovery to final application. The human steps in only at the Approve stage, spending a few minutes per day reviewing what the system surfaced overnight.
