Monitor Resy and book date night tables
From the linked report, brian spun up a Hermes subagent inside his personal agent Hannah (which used Obsidian as the brain and Telegram as the interface) to monitor Resy for openings at a few favorite NYC restaurants and book tables for date nights. The subagent ran checks on its own with no rate limits configured. The subagent secured openings effectively until Resy suspended the account for hammering their system and violating TOS.

It is one of 196 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 99 by interest), and one of 21 involving Hermes Agent.
