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

  1. At 0:00

    The Hermes logo and the word "Hermes" appear beside a phone open to an X DM. The user has sent a photo of a parking sign and asks "can I park here right now?"

  2. At 0:02

    The headline completes: "Hermes now lives in your X DMs.", with the X logo for "X". Hermes replies "Yes. It's a 2-hour limit until 6 PM, so move it by 10:38."

  3. At 0:03

    A subline appears: "Send it a photo. It answers in the chat." The phone zooms in on the reply.

  4. At 0:07

    The text clears and the phone pulls back to show the whole DM thread with Hermes.

  5. At 0:08

    On a green background: "One of your DMs is your agent." The X inbox, titled "Chat", lists Hermes at the top, above the user's other conversations.

  6. At 0:11

    The phone zooms in and a group chat further down the list is selected.

  7. At 0:12

    On a dark screen: "Add it to your group chats." Under a photo of a $186.00 receipt, a member writes "I'm bad at math" and the user asks "hermes, split it 4 ways. Dev didn't drink, drinks were $44"

  8. At 0:13

    A subline appears: "Quiet until someone says hermes.", with "hermes" highlighted in green in both the subline and the message.

  9. At 0:14

    Hermes answers in the group: "Dev owes $35.50. Everyone else owes $50.17."

  10. At 0:17

    On a blue background: "Scheduled jobs land in your DMs." A phone lock screen reads 7:00 on Friday, October 23.

  11. At 0:18

    An X notification from Hermes reads "Your 7:00 brief: rain after 2 PM, your 9:00 moved to 9:30, and 3 new replies on your post."

  12. At 0:20

    A green lock icon and "End-to-end encrypted." appear, with the subline "Decrypted on your machine with X's official Chat XDK."

  13. At 0:22

    End card on a light page: the Hermes and X logos, "An official plugin from Nous Research." and a terminal line that types "$ hermes plugins install xchat".

  14. At 0:24

    "@HermesWatcher" on a dark background.
