What was said
Tatem was using Hermes in Slack (Sonnet) for content ideation - pitching video series ideas for a creator - and getting lower-quality output than expected. Michael clarified that Hermes in Slack runs Sonnet, but the internal Megaphone studio UI runs Fable (much better model). He offered to build a basic Jolt version of that same internal UI. Tatem said yes.
Exact exchange:
Houck: “Hermes in Slack uses Sonnet. In our internal tools he uses Fable (much better). We have an internal UI for Megaphone that I can prob create a version of for Jolt too. Quality of the ideas and scripts would be much better. Want me to work on that?” Tatem: “okay awesome - Yes pls, ty!” Houck: “Alright I’ll spin something basic up later this week”
Context
Tatem was working on content for a potential creator collaboration (video series for beginner Claude users). The Megaphone studio internal dashboard already exists; this would be a parallel Jolt instance using the same higher-quality model setup for Tatem’s content work.
