Here’s another real world example of what I’ve been using Hermes for. I was watching an NFT collection on OpenSea and catching myself opening the collection page every few minutes. You can babysit that tab yourself, but it takes almost no setup to have a Hermes agent check it on a schedule and just serve you up a notification on your phone so you can quickly see it.
So in this walkthrough I point Hermes at a collection link and ask it to check about every thirty minutes and tell me the floor price. You will get short floor alerts, plus an optional note when the floor dips under a price you care about.
Hermes is running on a NameHero VPS for this, so I can go about my day while it’s working and not worry about my computer being open or timing out. I can also access it cross-device very easily which is nice.
What we’re doing
We are watching one OpenSea collection floor on a schedule. Hermes reads the page, messages you the floor, and adds a note when it dips under a band you care about. For this example that band was under $18.
This is read-mostly monitoring. Hermes is not buying or listing unless you explicitly ask and approve but it can do that as well.
What you’ll need
- Hermes already running on a NameHero VPS, with a working AI key so it can think. If you are still on the first hello, start with Your first conversation with Hermes. If the chat says it needs a brain, see Why does Hermes need a key from OpenAI or Anthropic?.
- An OpenSea collection link. Our example is Bold Anniversary Edition.
- The Hermes dashboard in a browser or connected to Telegram/WhatsApp
Ask Hermes first
Ask Hermes: Watch the OpenSea floor for this collection: [insert OpenSea collection link here]. Check about every 30 minutes. Message me the floor each time. Add a note when it is under $18. Do not buy or list anything.
Hermes can open the collection, read the floor, and keep reporting on that cadence. Watch the first couple of pings so the alert format feels right. Then stay off the collection page.
What Happens next
In my case, I connected Telegram so I was able to get push notifications to my phone. This made it easier to talk to my agent on my iPhone as well.
What I learned
You do not need a paid NFT analytics stack just to babysit one floor. If you are used to refreshing OpenSea yourself, a simple Hermes watch on a NameHero VPS saves a ton of time, and you still decide what to do with the number.
Hermes Agent Hosting comes with Hermes preinstalled on a NameHero VPS. NameHero support is available by live chat if you get stuck.
