Delegate to It

Description:
What happens when you give an AI agent an actual job?
In this video, I take a real Client Support Specialist job description and use it to create a **Hermes AI agent with a real role, responsibilities, workflow, and workspace**.
Instead of giving Hermes a single task, I’m giving it a job.
We’ll walk through how I:
- Take a real job description and turn it into a Hermes agent “soul”
- Create a **Customer Support AI agent**
- Give the agent its own workspace and documentation
- Teach it how to triage and route customer support tickets
- Let the agent work through multiple tickets with minimal instruction
- See how it handles resolution, investigation, and escalation
- Compare an AI employee/agent with a traditional human hire
- Look at the potential business value of deploying an AI agent for customer support
The interesting part isn't just whether Hermes can complete a task. It's whether we can give an AI agent an actual **role** and have it operate within the systems and processes of a business.
I also break down the economics of an AI associate versus a traditional employee, including compensation, ramp-up time, coverage, key-person risk, and portability across businesses or portfolio companies.
If you're interested in **AI agents, Hermes, AI employees, AI automation, or using AI to improve business operations**, this is an experiment worth watching.
