Real document work exposes Hermes Agent limits
General office assistant work showed clear problems with document creation and formatting. OpenClaw and MiniMax could be used for tasks such as making a sales letter, proposals, and documents with tables, but the results needed constant correction and the document style often broke. After repeated fixes, some sales proposals with tables became usable.
A second assistant for nonprofit work made a staff alendar in HTML, and that result worked well. It also created staff timecards as files, but updates from chat messages with staff hours often went wrong. A Hermes and Nous did not produce a real usable document in this test.
Switching Hermes to MiniMax made document files, but they were very incomplete. was also tried after an AI recommendation, but it was not good for this office assistant use case.
