AI Agent to create macros (Hermes Agent)

keyboard-maestro-macro-creation.zip (11.1 KB)

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned before, but you can use openclaw, or the like, to create macros, and even create macros to control other apps!

You can use the skill files I use (attached), or experiment on your own.

It makes the creation of macros so much easier. Macros are fun to use, not so much to create :sweat_smile:

Interesting use case, but I (and probably some others) might disagree about this part :slight_smile:

I find making macros to be extremely fun, and rewarding! (and i’ve learned a TON doing so, both from my own experimentation, and the folks on this forum)

If exploring how to optimize is your hobby, I understand that.

I brainstorm with ai, but once I know what I want to do I don’t want to fiddle around with the software to do it.

I have a stream deck, and a keyboard with 15 macro keys… I ain’t going to reprogram them by hand.

Hello @jackolantern,

Do you have a video or demo of you using this?

Thanks,

KC

It is interesting case that person which connected to the forum a few hours about (I see 7 hours and read time 12 minutes) now propose creating macros using ai. Remember that automate generating macros is also security topic :slight_smile: The trust is being important value for me.

Yea. I just created this account to share.

But I’ve read it from time to time, and I’ve been using KM for years.

If security is an issue for you, don’t use. All ai companies share data with Uncle Sam.

lol. That would require more work than I’m willing to do.

You can not use it if you don’t want. Up to you.

Got it. So you posted this, in the Tips & Tutorials section, without providing or willing to provide either. In the future, please respect this forum as it is a jewel.

Thank You,

KC

I don’t see all tips on here with a video. I didn’t know that was a rule?

I posted the skill files. They are text with the instructions for the ai. They are plain text!

I am offering something that I find very valuable and can save people a lot of time, and you want me to create a video as well? As if I were selling something or pushing this on to people. What is my benefit in all of this? Invisible points from strangers?

Getting to the point of thinking about making this has taken me a long time of working with ai, and KM I don’t see any mention of this anywhere online so I thought I’d contribute

I am not making anything from this, and it’s for those who want to try things out.

If you don’t want to try it, then respect my time by not asking for more than you deserve from a free tool

Could you at least post a macro that has been created with this tool, along with the prompt used? That'll help others to see its worth before they go to the (non-trivial) effort of setting up their own system.

Which is why I'm asking for an example. There's a lot of inefficiency in those -- always calling AppleScript via an "Execute a Shell Script" Action and osascript rather than through the built-in "Execute an AppleScript" Action, for example -- but I can see that might not matter if the system can one-shot a macro while I'm doing something else.

Here are some screenshots you might find relevant.
I just took a question posted in the Questions category, pasted into Hermes Agent, and this is what it came up with. I could ask it to create the macro, and set a key for it but for this purpose I won’t.
You can also see some other examples

As to this, I’m not sure what you mean, but here’s another example:
