Hermes Agent + MagicSlides MCP

Turn a web page into a PPT with Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent runs all the time, so you can send it a link from Telegram and get a deck back later. Here a founder sent the Wikipedia article on Getting Things Done and got a 6-slide summary of the method plus a weekly routine.

Hermes Agent

Fetched the Wikipedia article on Getting Things Done (about 1,600 words)
Pulled the five workflow stages, the eight end points, the two-minute rule and the six horizons of focus
Called get_template_schema (creative-design, 6 slides)
Wrote the slot copy and called create_presentation_from_slots, then sent the links back in chat

Your GTD deck is ready, 6 slides: the core idea, the system in four numbers, the five-stage workflow, mind like water, and a weekly routine. Present link, PPTX and PDF are below.

FAQ

Can I send the link from my phone?

Yes. Hermes Agent works through messaging gateways like Telegram, so you can send a URL and get the deck links back in the same chat.

Can Hermes do this on a schedule?

Yes. Hermes supports cron and scheduled tasks, so it can turn a page you choose into a deck at a set time.

How do I connect MagicSlides?

Run hermes mcp add magicslides with the MCP URL and --auth oauth, then log in with MagicSlides.

Does this use AI credits?

No. Hermes writes the slide copy, so the bring-your-own-content path costs 0 MagicSlides AI credits.
