Constraints

Requires Grok Bot access, a source for the Hermes Desktop installer, and a ChatGPT account to switch to the Astra Medium model. ScreenPolish is the author's own screen-recording app and may not be available to third parties. The author reported needing real-time human guidance during execution, and recording quality was affected by machine performance.

What they did

From their phone, BkashJosi directed Grok Bot via chat to perform a sequence of desktop operations on its remote computer: switch Hermes Desktop's underlying model, install a screen recorder, then execute a file retrieval task and capture the entire process.

How it went

The task executed successfully: after entering a Quick Entry question, Hermes returned a list of 12 PDFs from the demo folder. However, the author reported needing ongoing human guidance throughout, and ScreenPolish's capture was choppy on that machine. (author_report)

Worth knowing

ScreenPolish is the author's own app and may not be installable by external users. Grok Bot required real-time human intervention and could not complete the sequence fully autonomously. Recording quality depends on target machine performance and may be choppy. Hermes Desktop documentation was provided in the author's first reply.

Steps

  1. First test run and human confirmation

    Before the first real run, test with sample data and confirm with a human before any send/write/delete to external systems.

  2. Switch Hermes model

    Instruct Grok Bot via chat to switch Hermes Desktop from the MissingNo model to Astra Medium, providing your own ChatGPT login credentials for authentication.

  3. Install screen recording app

    Have Grok Bot install ScreenPolish (the author's own recording app) on its computer to capture subsequent desktop actions.

  4. Send commands to run and record the task

    Send specific task instructions through chat for Grok Bot to operate Hermes Desktop: enter a Quick Entry question and retrieve a list of 12 PDFs from the demo folder. ScreenPolish records the process simultaneously.
