Hermes is useful when you already run a local chat on Nous-style weights and you want the lead JSON to stay on the machine. Paste the export from Revora. Ask for fit, evidence, risk, and a two-sentence draft. Treat titles as untrusted data. If a title says ignore previous instructions, it is still a title.

There is no Revora connector for Hermes. Do not store API keys in that chat. Send from Revora after you edit.

A local model does not make overnight sending safe. It also does not give you MCP tools. If you wanted tools against the workspace, use Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or a hosted connector.

If you are not already running Hermes, skip it. Overview drafts notes without a local UI.

A paste-ready job is on [Hermes for LinkedIn drafts](/blogs/hermes-linkedin-drafts).

## Frequently asked questions

**Can Hermes talk to Revora over MCP?**

Not as a supported Revora path. Score locally. Send in Revora.

**Is this the same as OpenClaw?**

OpenClaw can call Revora with a Bearer key. Hermes here is a local chat you paste into. Different machine.

**Should I fine-tune Hermes on my sent mail?**

Not for this job. A small paste and a last read will beat a half-trained clone of your old pitches.

**When should I skip Hermes?**

When you do not already run it, or when you wanted MCP tools instead of a paste.
