Domain Customization

The bot is driven by a single YAML configuration file. Change the domain, sources, keywords, and delivery settings without touching any code.

domain:
  name: "Your Industry News"
  slug: your-industry
  cron_schedule: "0 22 * * *"           # 10 PM daily
  output_channels:
    - telegram
    - discord                           # optional
    - obsidian                           # wiki vault
  max_items: 5

How It Works

  Configuration
       │

  └───┬───┘

1. Fetch — Sequentially queries all enabled sources for the configured domain
2. Filter — Deduplicates by URL, applies keyword filters, scores and ranks items
3. Vault — Saves raw evidence and formatted digests to your Obsidian wiki
4. Format — Renders the digest in HTML (Telegram) or Markdown (other channels)
5. Deliver — Sends via Telegram Bot API or Hermes gateway (Discord, Slack, Email)

Delivery Channels

Every item in the digest carries a source tag — [Tavily], [RSS], or [YouTube] — so readers know where each finding came from.

Post-Installation Setup

After your Hermes Agent installation, your consultant will configure the Newsletter Bot for your specific industry. The setup process involves:

1. Domain configuration — Define your industry, keywords, and sources in a YAML file
2. Source registration — Add RSS feeds, YouTube channels, and search queries
3. Delivery setup — Connect your Telegram bot or gateway channels
4. Cron scheduling — Set your preferred delivery time (default: 10 PM daily)
5. Test run — Generate and review your first digest
