Hi!

I would like a setup where I can do things like:

• Semantic search of file system:
  • “Can you find the ideas I had regarding <XYZ> a couple of years ago?(Search txt / md / docx / pdf files in file system)
• Conversation memory
  • “Please summarize the key points of the XYZ discussions I had with you last week. What were the next steps?”
• Multi-step automation.
  • “Please search my todo lists for all tasks related to <XYZ>. Create a markdown file with a title, short summary and source link for each entry.”
• File management:
  • “Please sort the files in my Desktop and Downloads folders into my file repository in <folder>. List suggestions and ask for permission before executing.”

Questions:

• Do people have setups like this working?
• Is Hermes a good conductor for tasks like this?
• Is this feasible with a local-only setup? (Privacy)
  • If so, which LLM models would you recommend?
  • Are they feasible on my M1 Max 64GB or M5 Pro 48GB?
• What's the recommended long-term memory system for these use cases?
  • Can / should long-term memory of conversations be combined with knowledge from the file system? Markdown wiki etc?
• How to do embeddings / vector db RAG / MD wiki etc. for semantic searches of files? How to automatically index appropriate folders continuously?

Any tutorials to follow?

Thanks in advance!
