Cron Job Scheduler

Hermes includes a built-in cron scheduler that lets you run tasks on a schedule using plain English. Results can be delivered back to Telegram, Discord, Slack, Email, or stored to disk.

What it is

A lightweight job scheduler inside the agent runtime. You describe the schedule and the task in natural language, and Hermes handles the rest — waking the right tools, running the workflow, and routing the output.

Who it targets

  • Anyone running daily reports, nightly backups, or weekly audits.
  • Teams that want agent-driven alerts without building a separate pipeline.
  • Users who prefer chat-style scheduling over crontab syntax.

Dependencies

  • Hermes Agent
  • Cron scheduler enabled
  • At least one connected channel or log target

How to install

The cron scheduler is built into Hermes core. Add a job with:

hermes cron add "every day at 8am" "Summarize my unread newsletters"
