How I redact documents with Hermes Agent before any AI model reads them

Privacy-first AI means the sensitive part of the work happens locally, before any model sees the data. This is my end-to-end workflow: the original ledger, the secure Telegram intake, the redacted output and the private mapping file.

What you are seeing: only the redacted workbook is ever sent to an external model for analysis. The original ledger and the mapping file stay local, so re-identification stays under your control.
