## Short answer

**Can Hermes Agent remember my boards and avoid creating duplicate pins?**

Yes. Hermes Agent keeps your board structure in memory, reads the pins already on your account through Tareno, drafts a few new pins a week and flags any that repeat an existing image or topic. It cannot create boards or read comments, and every scheduling request waits for your approval in Tareno.

A Pinterest account is a library that keeps working for years, which means the main risk of an active account is repeating itself. A woodworking blog with three hundred pins and twelve boards cannot be managed by memory: which board gets the workshop-tour pins, which topic was pinned last spring, which image is already out there twice. Hermes Agent keeps context between sessions and can read the account's existing pins through Tareno, so both memories point the same way. This page follows a woodworker who adds a few pins a week, with the duplicate check at its center.

## Example: a woodworking blog adds three pins a week

Imagine a woodworker who publishes a project post every week. She tells Hermes once how her twelve boards are organized and what each is for. Each Monday she gives it the new post and its photos. Hermes reads the account's existing pins with `list_account_posts`, finds that a pin with almost the same title and a similar photo went live last April, and suggests a different angle for the new one: the jig rather than the finished shelf. It lists her boards with `get_platform_options`, drafts three pins with `create_drafts` and asks which of them goes to which board. She approves the Tuesday request.

## Step by step

1. **Describe your boards once.** Tell Hermes what each board is for and which topics never go together. Hermes keeps this between sessions, so you do not explain the structure every Monday.
2. **Give it the new post and photos.** Send the post and the photo names. Hermes drafts several angles for one post, such as the finished piece, the jig and the mistake, because one post can feed three different pins.
3. **Let it read what already exists.** Hermes calls `list_account_posts` for the account and compares titles and topics with the new drafts. Pinterest is a network where Tareno can list pins, including ones created outside Tareno.
4. **Resolve the duplicates.** Where a draft repeats an old pin, Hermes proposes a different angle or tells you to skip it. Correct its memory if it remembers a pin you have since deleted.
5. **Choose boards and save.** Hermes lists the boards with `get_platform_options`, asks you to confirm the choice and saves the drafts through `create_drafts`. A request needs a board; a draft does not.
6. **Request a rhythm and approve.** Ask for three slots across the week. The requests become pending actions, and you approve them in the Tareno dashboard.

## Prompts to copy

### Store the board structure

```text
Remember how my Pinterest boards are organized: [board names with one line each about what belongs there]. Also remember that I never post two pins for the same photo in one month. Tell me what you have stored, and which board you would use for a jig tutorial.
```

### Check for duplicates

```text
Use Tareno to list the pins on my Pinterest account [name] and compare them with the new post below. Tell me which existing pins have a similar title, topic or photo, with their dates, and suggest two angles for the new post that none of them already covers.
```

### Draft the pins

```text
Write three pin drafts for the new post, each with a title within 100 characters, a description of about 350 characters and a sentence of alt text, one per angle. Name the board you propose for each, and mark any that I should skip because of an existing pin.
```

### Save and request

```text
Use Tareno to save the three pins I approved as drafts with their photos and boards. After I confirm, ask for [Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 09:00] in the [Europe/Berlin] time zone and return the pending action IDs.
```

## Pinterest in Tareno

- Pinterest is a network where Tareno can list the pins of an account, including ones created outside Tareno, so Hermes has a real record to check against and does not depend only on memory.
- Tareno's configuration for Pinterest allows one image per pin and requires media, so three angles of one post become three separate pins, each with its own photo.
- Pinterest's API description sets titles at 100 characters and alt text at 500, and a board ID is required to create a pin.
- Tareno cannot read comments on pins or create boards, so a structural change to the boards is made on Pinterest first.

Official rules ([Pinterest API v5 description (OpenAPI 5.28.0): create a Pin](https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/api/v5/pins-create/), checked 2026-10-24):

- Every Pin is created on a board, so the request needs a board ID. The title may be up to 100 characters and the description up to 800.
- Alt text may be up to 500 characters and the destination link up to 2,048. Both are optional in the API.
- Tareno's configuration for Pinterest is stricter than the API: media is required, descriptions stop at 500 characters, and the link goes into its own field.

## Mistakes to avoid

- Trusting memory over the account. If Hermes remembers a pin you deleted, it will skip a good idea, so tell it.
- Posting the same photo with a new title. Pinterest users and the platform both notice repeated images, so choose a different photo for a new angle.
- Letting boards drift. If a board's purpose changes, update Hermes's memory in the same sitting.
- Scheduling all three pins on one day. Spread them, or the later ones compete with the first.

## What does not work

- Hermes Agent cannot create or rename Pinterest boards through Tareno, so a board that does not exist has to be made on Pinterest first.
- It cannot read comments on pins, because Tareno does not expose comments for Pinterest.
- It cannot publish a pin on its own, since a time request becomes a pin only after you approve it in the Tareno dashboard.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does Hermes know what is already on my account?

By reading the account's pins through Tareno, which lists pins including ones created outside it. It also remembers what you told it in earlier sessions. When the two disagree, the account is right, and you correct the memory.

### What counts as a duplicate pin?

A pin with nearly the same title, topic or photo as an earlier one. Hermes reports the matches with dates and suggests a different angle, but you decide whether a repeat after a year is acceptable.

### Can Hermes move pins between boards?

No. Tareno creates and schedules pins and can choose a board for a new one, but it has no tool that moves or edits a pin that is already live. That change is made on Pinterest.

### Why three pins from one post?

Because each pin can answer a different search, such as the finished project, the jig or the mistake. Tareno allows one image per pin, so each angle needs its own photo and its own title.

### Does it need the board before saving a draft?

A Pinterest draft can be saved without a board, but it needs one before it can be scheduled or published. Hermes asks you to confirm the board when it lists them, so the draft is ready to request.

### Will Hermes post while I am in the workshop?

Only what you approved. A scheduling request is a pending action in Tareno, and Pinterest receives the pin after you approve it in the dashboard. `get_action_status` reports the outcome.

## Tareno tools used

- `list_account_posts`
- `get_platform_options`
- `create_drafts`
- `get_action_status`

Approval model: Tareno saves drafts directly. Scheduling, publishing, edits to scheduled posts and deletions become pending actions that a person approves in the Tareno dashboard; no agent can approve them.
