Is it safe to let Hermes post for you?

You stay in control of every account and every credit.

OAuth sign-in through your VidGuy account. No password or key pasted into a chat.
Hermes only reaches the brands and social accounts you connected in VidGuy.
Ask for drafts instead of publishing when you want to review first.
Your agent sees the credit cost before it generates, so there are no surprise charges.

Frequently asked questions

How does Hermes Agent work with VidGuy?

VidGuy runs an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and a CLI skill. Once Hermes is connected it can call more than 80 VidGuy tools: make UGC videos, carousels, memes and AI influencer posts for your brand, then publish or schedule them on your social accounts.

How do I connect VidGuy to Hermes?

VidGuy skill + API key, or the MCP link under Tools. Then approve the VidGuy sign-in (or set your API key) and ask for content.

Can Hermes really run my social media on autopilot?

Yes, within limits you set. Hermes can plan a calendar, make every post and schedule it. You can ask for drafts first, keep a human approval step, or let a VidGuy content agent post daily on its own. You can pause it at any time.

Is VidGuy just a social media scheduler?

No. Scheduling is the last step. VidGuy makes the content itself: UGC-style videos with AI actors, carousels, slides, memes and AI influencers, all in your brand kit. Then it posts them.
