Transcript

Music, no speech. Below: what's on screen, beat by beat.

  1. At 0:00

    "Hermes now redlines your contracts." under a small "HERMES × OFFICE DESK PLUGIN" label, next to a Word document.

  2. At 0:01

    "Services Agreement.docx" opens: an agreement between Marlowe & Finch Bakery and Tidewell Studio. The "30" in the payment terms is boxed, with the caption "Make it 45 days."

  3. At 0:03

    "As a tracked change." The 30 is struck through and 45 inserted, and a Hermes comment reads "Marlowe & Finch asked for 45-day terms."

  4. At 0:07

    A red screen shows a request from You to Hermes: "Marlowe & Finch wants 45-day payment terms and a $4,000 photo shoot. Update the contract, the budget and the proposal deck."

  5. At 0:09

    Three file cards appear below it, "Services Agreement.docx", "Project Budget.xlsx" and "Proposal Deck.pptx", each tagged "edited".

  6. At 0:12

    "One ask. Three files."

  7. At 0:15

    "Budget:" In Excel, the Project Budget sheet gains a "Photo shoot" line of 4000.

  8. At 0:18

    "Budget: recalculated." The Total cell, =SUM(B2:B6), goes from 41500 to 45500.

  9. At 0:21

    "Deck: updated." In PowerPoint, the "Investment" slide changes from "$41,500" to "$45,500" and from "Payment: net 30 days" to "Payment: net 45 days".

  10. At 0:25

    "You approve every change." The Desk page in Hermes Desktop holds the pending change, and its review shows the contract's 30 replaced by 45.

  11. At 0:30

    The cursor clicks "Accept changes", the button turns to "Accepting...", and the contract now reads 45 days.

  12. At 0:36

    Red screen: "Ask once. Approve it. Done." The contract page beside it is stamped "accepted".

  13. At 0:40

    End card: "Office Desk" "for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files". The command "hermes plugins enable office-desk" types out, labelled "Community plugin · Hermes plugin catalog".

  14. At 0:46

    Closing card: "@HermesWatcher".

Hermes edits Word, Excel and PowerPoint files with tracked changes, recalculated formulas and in-place slide edits. Every write gets a backup and an undoable receipt you review in Hermes Desktop.

Excel recalculation uses your installed LibreOffice.

Okay, Hermes doing your paperwork is insane.One sentence and it edits the contract, fixes the budget and updates the pitch deck. Nothing changes until you say OK.It's called Office Desk, a plugin from the Hermes plugin catalog.What it does:
  • Word edits come back as tracked changes and comments, like a colleague's redline
  • Excel edits get the formulas recalculated, so totals stay right
  • PowerPoint slides get edited in place
  • You review everything on the Desk page in Hermes Desktop and accept with one click
  • Every change gets a backup and a receipt you can undo
  • It only touches the folders you put on the Desk
What you can do with it:
  • Change a client's contract terms and see exactly what moved
  • Add a line to a budget and get the new total without touching a formula
  • Update the price and terms in a pitch deck to match
  • Send one request that covers all three files at once
Ask once. Approve it. Done.
