Plow on Hermes

Connect your Hermes AI agent to Plow — so you can message it over iMessage and let it read your Gmail, Calendar, and Slack.

GitHub

Install in your terminal with command:

$curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plow-pbc/seed/main/install.sh | bash -s -- https://github.com/plow-pbc/seed-hermes-plow/blob/main/SEED.md

What this seed does

This seed wires a Docker-backed Hermes AI agent to the Plow messaging platform, letting you chat with your agent over your own iMessage/SMS line. Once set up, anything you text to your Plow number reaches Hermes, and Hermes replies back — no app to install, just your normal messages app.

Beyond messaging, an optional add-on lets Hermes access your Plow-connected Google (Gmail and Google Calendar) and Slack accounts using the same credentials, so your agent can read your email, check your calendar, or post to Slack on your behalf without any extra login steps.

The whole setup is designed to run with just curl and standard shell tools on the host — no Python, no Git, no Hermes CLI required. A pair of shell scripts handle plugin installation and the one-time phone-number activation flow, then you start the Docker container and you're live.

When to use it

I want to text my AI assistant from my iPhone using my regular messages app, not a separate chat interface.
I'm setting up a personal Hermes agent on a home server and want to reach it over iMessage without installing anything extra on the server host.
I want my AI agent to be able to check and reply to my Gmail or look at my Google Calendar when I ask it to over chat.
I want my agent to post messages to Slack on my behalf when I tell it to via iMessage.
I'm building a multi-profile Hermes install and need each user profile to have its own Plow chat line and credentials.
