Want Hermes to actually call you? Here's the setup. đ
Easiest way: let Hermes set it up for you.
The plugin ships with a setup runbook written for agents. Hermes follows it and only stops to ask for your number and a QR scan.
What you need first:
⸠Hermes on Linux or macOS
⸠A second WhatsApp number for your bot
⸠A Gemini API key in Hermes (the plugin reuses it)
The setup:
⸠Install the plugin and set your number
⸠Scan a QR from the bot's phone (Linked devices)
⸠Turn on the Hermes API server and start the voice line
Then just tell it: "Call me every weekday at 8am to go over my day."
Exact commands in the first reply. đ

Okay, Hermes making phone calls is unreal.
Hermes doesn't have to wait for you to check in anymore. It can just call you.
A new plugin in the Hermes catalog, hermes-whatsapp-voice, gives Hermes live voice calls over regular WhatsApp. No business account needed.
What that looks like:
⸠It rings you when something actually needs you, like an urgent reminder or a scheduled morning check-in
⸠You can call it back and have it handle things mid-call
⸠When you hang up, a recap lands in your WhatsApp chat
⸠It can only ring your number. Nobody else's
Notifications pile up and get swiped away. A ringing phone gets answered.
It's community-built and runs on an unofficial WhatsApp connection, so set it up on a spare number.
