agent-native scheduling, not another dashboard
Most social scheduler SaaS keeps you in a browser tab. OpenQuok is built for Instagram from Hermes Agent
Typical social scheduler SaaS
- Copy posts between your AI chat and a separate scheduling tool
- Siloed API keys and workflows that do not compose with your agent stack
- Always-on integrations that bloat agent context
- Locked to one vendor's models or automation layer
- One workspace mixing every context as you add channels and parallel sessions
- Autopilot publishing with no human checkpoint
OpenQuok + Hermes Agent
- Message Hermes from Telegram, Discord, or Slack to draft and schedule
- Eligibility is checked automatically — credentials stay on your host
- Skills load on demand, keeping the agent context clean
- Works with Nous Portal, OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and self-hosted endpoints
- Multi-workspace isolation — spin up a workspace per context so channels, and drafts never cross wires
- You choose publish-now, schedule, or draft — approve on OpenQuok when you want a review step

Frequently asked questions
Hermes Agent + Instagram,answered
What Hermes Agent is, how to install openquok-core, scheduling Instagram posts, human approval, and Instagram setup questions.
Hermes Agent is Nous Research's autonomous assistant with a unified messaging gateway, browser and terminal tools, Skills Hub workflows, and optional MCP servers. It runs on laptop, VPS, Docker, or serverless backends and connects to 20+ chat platforms. Add openquok-core to draft and schedule through OpenQuok. See the Hermes Agent integration and agent setup guides.
Hermes Agent fits self-hosted gateways and messaging-first scheduling. Choose Grok Bot or Dots when you want a vendor cloud computer instead. See the Grok Bot vs OpenClaw guide.
Install @openquok/auto-cli, add openquok-core under ~/.hermes/skills/, and authenticate once. See the Hermes agent guide and CLI getting started.
Hermes Agent can draft and schedule Instagram posts, upload images and video, apply per-platform settings, and pull platform and post analytics for your connected Instagram account. The openquok-core skill documents integrations:list, posts:create, posts:status, analytics:platform, upload, and more — every command returns structured JSON for the agent to parse. See Hermes Agent + Instagram and the Instagram humanizer tool for channel-specific workflows.
Connect your Instagram account via the Instagram setup guide or the Instagram channel landing. Install openquok-core on Hermes Agent with the Hermes Agent agent guide. Message your assistant to schedule — Hermes Agent uses integration UUIDs from openquok integrations:list to target your Instagram account. Every post lands as a draft or scheduled item until you approve on the calendar or kanban. Browse Instagram playbooks and Instagram building blocks for format ideas.
It depends on you. You can ask Hermes to publish now when the copy is ready, or save drafts and scheduled posts and approve them later on the OpenQuok calendar or kanban. Tell Hermes to use draft-only or not to publish when you want a review step first.
Yes. OpenQuok is CLI-first — any agent that can run shell commands can use openquok, including OpenClaw, Cursor, and custom automation. This page focuses on Hermes Agent plus the openquok-core skill; pair it with Skills Hub workflows, MCP servers, or cron for richer pipelines. Browse agent hosts and MCP clients.
Cursor and other MCP clients fit editor sessions — see MCP setup guides. Hermes fits always-on chat from Telegram, Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp. Pick Hermes for messaging and scale; pick MCP for in-repo workflows. Many teams use both.
Yes. Run on a VPS, Docker, or serverless backend with a persistent ~/.hermes/ volume, install openquok-core, and authenticate once. See the Docker Compose self-host guide.
Yes. Create an OpenQuok account and start a 7-day free trial on Pricing, connect your channels, install openquok-core on Hermes, and begin scheduling from chat.
Yes. OpenQuok offers one 7-day free trial per payment customer so you can run social media accounts on auto-pilot before you subscribe the plan. Create an account and start today — no credit card required. Canceling and resubscribing, or creating another workspace, does not grant a second trial. Plan limits are on Pricing and in the billing limits guide; trial rules are in the Cloud trial guide.
Connect channels, write in Creating posts, then pick a time on the calendar or kanban. Agents can use the CLI, agent setup guides, or MCP setup guides.
A channel is one connected social account (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and more). Connect channels in the dashboard. Browse networks on Supported channels.
Instagram Business uses Facebook Login and suits accounts linked to a Facebook Page. Instagram Standalone uses Instagram Login directly. Both share the same publish pipeline. Pick the option that matches how your account is set up in Meta. See the connect channels guide and Instagram per-channel settings.
OpenQuok publishes the video file you attach. It does not add tracks from Instagram's music library. Meta licenses in-app music mainly for personal, non-commercial use. Business and professional accounts face tighter rules on mainstream copyrighted audio. Edit royalty-free music into your video before upload, or add allowed audio in the Instagram app when Meta permits it. We offer Business and Standalone login so you can connect the account type that fits your setup. See how to connect Instagram.
Sign up for free, open a workspace, and choose Connect channel. Select the Instagram integration that matches your account type. Complete OAuth and, if Business login requires a Page selection, pick the correct profile in the connect flow. OpenQuok Cloud registers the Meta app for you. For self-hosted deployments, see the self-host Instagram setup guide.
On OpenQuok Cloud, you connect Instagram Business or Standalone with Add channel. You do not submit operator business verification for OpenQuok's Meta app. If you self-host, you use your own Meta developer app. Meta often requires business verification and App Review before Live publishing. See Meta business verification guide, OpenQuok Cloud, and the connect channels guide.
Yes. Attach a single MP4 for a Reel, 2–10 images or videos for a carousel, or one attachment with post type set to Story. Captions can run up to 2,200 characters on feed posts and Reels. Size assets in the Instagram photo editor. See media rules by platform.
Yes. Enable Trial Reel on a single MP4 feed post and choose manual or performance-based graduation. Add up to three collaborator usernames on single-media feed or Reel posts — not on carousels or Stories. See Instagram per-channel settings and Instagram CLI examples.
Yes. Add follow-up comment in the post editor (or pass instagram.replies via the API). Each comment publishes as text after the delay you set once the main post goes live. See follow-up comments guide and Instagram CLI examples.
Yes. Connect Instagram in our web dashboard, then follow MCP setup guides (ask your assistant in chat to list integrations and queue posts), CLI setup guides, the create-post API, or Instagram CLI examples. Pass providerSettings for post type, trial reel, collaborators, and follow-up comments.
Yes. Create & compose once in OpenQuok and publish the same idea to Instagram, Threads, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and other connected channels from one workflow. Per-platform captions, aspect ratios, and character limits are applied separately, so each destination gets tailored copy from a single schedule. See Supported channels.
Not today. OpenQuok schedules posts and scheduled text follow-up comments — not DM replies, keyword auto-replies, or Story link stickers. See what each platform supports for follow-ups.
See the self-host Instagram setup guide for redirect URIs, Meta app configuration, and backend environment variables required for OAuth. Browse Instagram playbooks for format ideas.
