Months of daily logs, and Claude found lactose may be fogging their brain
Mood, food, habits and sleep, logged daily for months. A Hermes agent writes end-of-day reports (they miss a lot), but asking Claude for correlations surfaced a pattern they'd never noticed.

What they did
They have been logging their day in a markdown file for months: mood, food, activities, nootropics, and wake time. They set up a Hermes agent they talk to over Telegram, with cron jobs checking in multiple times a day, to pull in other data and generate an end-of-day markdown report. They then upload the accumulated log file to Claude and ask it to look for correlations.
How it went
They admit the daily Hermes reports miss a lot, like a clean breakdown of hours spent on different things. But asking Claude to find correlations across the log did turn up a real pattern: lactose seems to give them a bit of brain fog, something they say was never strong enough to notice on its own.
Try it yourself with Hermes Agent
Keep a daily plain-text log of things like mood, food, sleep, and habits. Set up an agent on a chat app with a scheduled check-in to help you fill in the log and generate an end-of-day summary. Periodically upload the accumulated log to an AI and ask it to look for correlations between what you log and how you feel.

An unwieldy pile of Claude chats sent the writer looking for an organizer extension, but the only one they found was Chrome-only. Claude built one from scratch for Firefox instead.
Apple's built-in capture can't record the Mac's system audio, OBS felt clunky and Kap seemed untrustworthy. So they asked Claude to build a native app that did exactly what they needed. It took 4 minutes.
It built the game from his description and kept adding his ideas. Then the file got too big, edits broke in a loop, and the parent had to step in: split the code into several files.
Alarms and reminders are easy to ignore. Claude built a Twilio script that calls before important appointments, reads out the message, and won't stop until they confirm. Set up in plain English.
Messaging notes to yourself is easy; finding them later isn't. The Hermes agent sorts every dump into lists and reminds them of to-dos morning and evening. Useful, if a little buggy.
