Hello everyone,

Stop babysitting your spreadsheet enrichment, it's time to let an AI agent do the heavy lifting.

Line-by-line processing is a productivity killer that turns a 5-minute job into an all-day slog.

The Build: I built a zero-cost spreadsheet auto-enrichment system using TinyFish's free search and fetch endpoints, wiring them into a Hermes agent that fires concurrent requests. The agent deploys instantly on Railway via a one-click template, and its skill memory lets it improve over time.

Key Skills You'll Gain:

Step 1: Fire enrichment tasks in parallel — slash processing time by sending concurrent requests instead of row-by-row.

Step 2: Plug into TinyFish free search and fetch — pull live web data with zero scraping setup or payment.

Step 3: Activate Hermes' skill memory — let the agent remember successful strategies and reuse them automatically.

Step 4: Deploy on Railway via template — skip local setup and get a cloud agent running in under five minutes.

Why It Matters: Combining free data endpoints with a self-improving agent turns spreadsheets from dead data into live assets without recurring costs. It's ideal for quick enrichments that don't justify paid services, though handling messy or captcha-heavy pages still needs guardrails — Hermes' memory is only as good as the paths it's seen. Still, for the vast majority of straightforward lookups, this stack eliminates the manual grind entirely.
