I Built an AEO Writing Workflow with Hermes & Pangram. Here’s What Happened

Can an AI agent research, write, and publish articles for AI search? I tested an answer engine optimization (AEO) workflow on my own portfolio site using Hermes, a custom blog API, and Pangram. I walk through how Hermes uses my hand-written Substack posts as style references, picks topics from a queue, researches each article, and verifies that it went live. Then I open Google Search Console to show what happened with search visibility and clicks, and share why I put more weight on my own read of the articles than on a low AI-detector score. You’ll also see what happened when the Pangram integration stopped working and how I spotted the problem in the publishing logs.
