## Short answer

**Can Hermes Agent remember what my followers ask on Threads and write answer posts?**

Yes. Hermes Agent keeps a running list of the questions followers ask, reads the replies to your recent posts through Tareno, notices which questions repeat and drafts a short answer post for the top one each week. It cannot reply to anyone, and scheduling stays pending until you approve it in Tareno.

A board-game café has regulars who ask the same questions in different words: is there a table free on Friday, do you serve food during games, can we bring our own. The answers are known, but they exist only in the owner's head and in scattered replies. Hermes Agent keeps context between sessions and can read replies through Tareno, which makes it a good fit for the unglamorous job of noticing what keeps being asked and answering it once in public. This page follows a café owner through a weekly routine, with the memory rules that keep a list of questions from turning into a list of people.

## Example: a board-game café answers its recurring questions

Imagine a café owner who tells Hermes once how the café works: opening hours, the booking rule, food policy. Every Monday Hermes reads the replies under the last week's posts with `list_post_comments` and updates its list of questions without keeping names. It reports that table availability on Fridays was asked six times this month, more than anything else. It drafts a post of 390 characters that explains how Friday booking works and when tables are released, and saves it with `create_drafts` for her Threads profile. She corrects one detail and requests a Wednesday evening slot.

## Step by step

1. **Teach Hermes how the business works.** Tell it the hours, the booking rule and the policies once. Hermes keeps them between sessions, so answers start from facts you stated instead of a guess.
2. **Set the privacy rule.** Tell Hermes to remember questions, not people. It stores the question and a count, and no usernames, so the list cannot be used to single anyone out.
3. **Read the week's replies.** Each Monday Hermes reads the replies under recent posts with `list_post_comments`. Threads is a network where Tareno reads replies, which is what makes this routine possible.
4. **Update the list and pick one.** Hermes adds new questions, raises the count of repeated ones and proposes the top question for this week's post. Correct it when it merges two different questions.
5. **Draft the answer from stated facts.** Ask for a post within 500 characters that answers the question using only the facts you gave it. If a fact is missing, Hermes asks you instead of inventing one.
6. **Save, request and approve.** Hermes confirms the profile with `list_accounts` and saves the draft through `create_drafts`. Give a day, a time and an IANA time zone, and approve the request in the Tareno dashboard.

## Prompts to copy

### Store the facts and the rule

```text
Remember these facts about the café: [hours, booking rule, food policy]. Also remember that you keep a list of questions with counts but never store usernames. Tell me what you have stored and ask about anything you would need to answer a question about Friday tables.
```

### Read and update the list

```text
Use Tareno to read the replies under my last five Threads posts. Add any new questions to your list, raise the count of repeated ones and show me the top five with their counts. Do not store or show any usernames.
```

### Draft the answer

```text
Write a Threads post within 500 characters that answers the top question using only the facts you stored. If a needed fact is missing, ask me instead of guessing, and end with a friendly invitation to ask the next question in the replies.
```

### Save and request

```text
Use Tareno to confirm my Threads profile [café handle] and save the approved post as a draft. After I confirm the wording, ask for [Wednesday 18:30] in the [Europe/Berlin] time zone and return the draft ID and the pending action ID.
```

## Threads in Tareno

- Threads is a network where Tareno reads replies, so Hermes works from what followers actually asked; on networks without reply reading, this routine would have no input.
- Meta's documentation limits Threads text posts to 500 characters and counts emojis by bytes, so an answer needs to be concise and a café's friendly emojis should be used sparingly.
- Links get an automatic preview on Threads in Tareno's configuration, so a booking link can follow the answer.
- Tareno has no tool that publishes replies, so Hermes writes a public post for the recurring question and leaves one-off answers to you in the app.

Official rules ([Meta: Threads API, posts](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/threads/posts), checked 2026-10-24):

- A profile is limited to 250 API-published posts within 24 hours; a carousel counts as one post.
- Text posts are limited to 500 characters, and emojis count by their UTF-8 bytes, not as single characters.
- Carousels need 2 to 20 items. Single images may be JPEG or PNG up to 8 MB, and videos MOV or MP4 up to 5 minutes and 1 GB.

## Mistakes to avoid

- Storing usernames with questions. Keep the list about questions only.
- Letting Hermes guess a policy. If a fact is not stored, it should ask.
- Answering the same question every week. Once answered, lower its priority and note the post date.
- Merging different questions. Check that table availability and table booking are not counted together.

## What does not work

- Hermes Agent cannot post replies to Threads, because Tareno reads replies but has no tool that publishes one.
- It cannot know a policy you did not tell it, so it asks instead of answering from general assumptions.
- It cannot make a post appear on its own, since a time request becomes a post only after you approve it in the Tareno dashboard.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does Hermes remember about my followers?

Only what you allow. Tell it to keep questions and counts but no usernames, and ask it to show you what it has stored. A list of questions helps you answer; a list of people would not.

### How does Hermes choose the question for the week?

By count across recent replies, adjusted by what you already answered. It shows you the top five with their counts and proposes one, and you can pick a different one for any reason.

### Can Hermes answer in the replies for me?

No. Tareno reads replies on Threads but has no tool that publishes one. Hermes writes a public post for the recurring question, and personal answers stay with you in the app.

### What if Hermes does not know the answer?

It should ask you. Hermes answers only from facts you stored, and a missing fact is a question back to you instead of an invention. Add the fact once and it stays in memory.

### How often should the café post an answer?

Once a week is a comfortable rhythm for a small business. Hermes tracks which questions it has answered and when, so it does not repeat one just because it was asked again.

### Will the answer post appear without my approval?

No. A scheduling request is a pending action in Tareno, and Threads receives the post only after you approve it in the dashboard. `get_action_status` shows what happened afterwards.

## Tareno tools used

- `list_post_comments`
- `list_accounts`
- `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.
