Inbox Triage Agent with Hermes

Hermes brings an open-model foundation to a task that is mostly judgment: does this belong to finance or legal, and is it urgent by your definition or merely loud. It reads the sender, the subject and the thread, then picks from the list you wrote and nothing outside it. Where it cannot tell, your fallback label catches the email and the forward says so plainly.

Live demo

Watch it work before it's live

Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.

All 34 stores offline since 09:40

Our tills stopped syncing at 09:40 this morning and all 34 stores are taking cash only. We restarted the local gateway in two stores with no change, so it looks like the problem is on your side. Saturday is our busiest day and we are losing roughly 40,000 kroner an hour. Please call my mobile, I am reachable all day.

What you'll need

Set up in minutes

Using this template drops you into a guided setup. It asks exactly this, nothing else:

  1. Connect Gmail

    One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.

  2. Connect Slack

    One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.

  3. Routing rules

    Your categories, the exact Gmail label for each one, who owns it, and the fallback label and owner for mail that fits nothing. The agent never invents a label or sends to anyone outside this list.

  4. Urgent criteria

    What genuinely cannot wait, such as the senders, deadlines, amounts, or phrases that should interrupt someone, plus the channel that has to hear about it. Everything else is labeled and forwarded without a Slack ping.

  5. Runs on Hermes

    Preselected for this page — connect your Hermes account during setup, or switch to NoClick's built-in models with one click.

  6. Watch it handle a test run

    A staged conversation against a simulated world — then it’s live.

A considered pairing

Why Hermes for this agent

Open models on a closed decision

The category list is yours and finite, so the job is matching rather than inventing. General reasoning is enough for that without depending on one vendor's model.

Urgency is the real call

Deciding what genuinely interrupts a person is the part people get wrong. It applies your urgent criteria instead of reacting to an alarming subject line.

Good to know

Before you fork

Will an open model classify accurately enough?

The honest answer is to test rather than take a claim. The staged emails cover a real emergency, a routine invoice and a personal sick note, which is exactly where a weaker model slips by paging Slack about somebody's chest infection. If it holds on those and on a week running alongside your current process, it is good enough for your inbox.
