Summary

The creator used Hermes, his personal AI assistant, to write a bank authorization letter for his sister, which then only needed a signature. It's a practical example of personal-agent use, and the post links to his coaching and livestream site.

Key points

• A personal AI agent can draft everyday documents such as authorization letters
• The human still reviews, signs and sends the document
• Example of a practical, non-coding use for a personal agent
