AI Signal Engine

What AI Signal Engine does

AI Signal Engine splits the work between an agent and a dashboard. A Hermes Agent, deployed on a Hostinger VPS through Docker Manager in the author's setup, scans sources, scores each finding and sends structured JSON events to POST /api/events with a bearer token. The dashboard never controls the agent and needs no LLM key of its own. It is a Next.js 16 TypeScript app with a JSON file store in ./data.

Events appear on a React Flow map as story nodes joined by typed threads such as competes with, supports, same trend and risk connection, grouped into sector territories. A Day Rail scopes the board to a single retrieval day, clicking a thread gives a synthesized take on the pair, and a live agent log streams over SSE at /api/stream behind a password gate. A deterministic brief engine produces angles, story bundles, talking points, a verification checklist and a do-not-overstate list. RSS sources can be scanned into draft events, and nothing is published automatically.

Key features

• React Flow relationship map with typed threads, entity nodes, filters and search
• Event ingestion by authenticated POST to /api/events
• Live updates over SSE and a password-gated dashboard
• Day Rail time travel that scopes the board to one retrieval day
• Brief generator with talking points, a verification checklist and a do-not-overstate list
• RSS scan endpoint that creates draft events, plus a demo simulator

When to use it

• Tracking AI industry news with a Hermes agent doing the research
• Preparing a creator brief with a list of claims to verify before publishing
• Screen-recording a live agent research session as it fills the map

Who it is for: Content creators and researchers who want an always-on Hermes agent to feed a visual news-tracking dashboard.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

Built around Nous Hermes Agent, which acts as the researcher and posts events to the dashboard, though any agent that can browse and send HTTP POST requests can feed it.

Requirements: A Hermes Agent, or another agent able to browse and POST HTTP events, to supply the data; the dashboard itself needs no LLM key
