Here ye, here ye! 🗣️
Just shipped SQS Chat — a tiny, self‑hosted dictation app powered by @OpenAI#Whisper. Speak your ideas, drafts, or prompts and turn them into text, right in your browser.
Looking for AI tinkerers and creators to kick the tires:
Runs in your own stack (open source, self‑hostable)
Great for notes, brainstorms, and long prompts
Web mic → Whisper → clean text
Try it here: https://t.co/KPX9Bp7K7j
Repo: https://t.co/i482nJ7hFp
If you test it, I’d love feedback on:
Mic flow (does dictation feel smooth?)
Accuracy with your voice/accent
Entry for the @NousResearch Hermes Agent Plugin Hackathon: ProofOps — a Hermes plugin that makes an agent prove “done” with a sealed receipt of what was verified, and what wasn’t.
Plugin: https://t.co/9TU25yn3hP

ProofOps: a Hermes plugin that checks whether “done” is true.
CI caught it catching itself: a check that passed on one machine, failed on another. Every run leaves a sealed receipt — what was verified, and what wasn’t.
74s: https://t.co/IxHf4SeQ04 #HermesAgent
The numbers ship with the tool: a row-count plan catches 3 of 22 injected defects. Checksums catch 13 of 22 — and raise 3 false alarms on files that were only reformatted.
116 tests, CI green. @NousResearch catalogue PR: https://t.co/O4YOHYpHOU
At 40, you may be behind on energy. But you've got something they don't: 15+ years of experience, the discipline to grind through the boring parts, and the courage to start over in a new field. That's your superpower.
The Hermes Agent Plugin Hackathon starts now!
It runs for 7 days, with $20,000 in cash prizes and more.
Plugins are the most powerful way to extend Hermes Agent, and we want this hackathon to show what they can do. A plugin can change anything from the model Hermes runs on, where it stores its memory, where it runs commands, which messaging apps it works in and what Hermes Desktop shows. Plugins in the marketplace already let Hermes do things like control a phone or turn a photo into a printable 3D model.
Every kind of plugin is eligible, so build whatever functionality you want Hermes to have. We'll list accepted entries in the new Hermes Marketplace, where every Hermes user can install them.
Prizes
1st: $10,000 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds
2nd: $5,000 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds
3rd: $2,500 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds
4th: $1,500 + merch + $500 creds
5th: $1,000 + merch + $500 creds
Runners up (x5): merch + $250 creds
Submissions are due 5PM EST on Nov 11th. To enter:
1. Open a pull request that adds your plugin to the Hermes plugin catalog: https://t.co/mXvYukJ0mZ
2. Post a demo video on X and tag @NousResearch
3. Submit both links through the form: https://t.co/jlduHHW3dr
Your entry is the plugin itself. Judges score it on usefulness, reliability, polish and creativity, and they favor plugins that do more than a prompt or a skill could. Keep the demo under 90 seconds and show the plugin working.
The developer guide shows how to build and test a plugin: https://t.co/FVGjSgjNoV
When submissions close, we'll open a thread for every entry in the Nous Research Discord, so you can browse all the plugins and talk to the people who built them.
You can submit the form as soon as your pull request is open. The catalog checks run once a maintainer starts them, and we review entries every few days.
If you have any questions stop by the Nous Research Discord: https://t.co/qxek9haYeb

Enough of living in your head and in your fears and second guesses and insecurities .. it’s time to throw darts 🎯 … to many yappers and not enough practitioners .. be a practitioner ❤️
The people winning with AI didn't start with a plan.
They started with a small, annoying problem and typed it into a box.
That's it. That's the whole strategy.
$20/month. Start today.
