Automate Anything with Hermes Jarvis, here’s how!

**Julian Goldie** (0:00)
Jarvis, roast me before we get started.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:02)
Very well, sir. Shall I open Google to research whether the miracle of life truly began with your arrival, or are you content to take that on faith?

**Julian Goldie** (0:14)
Jarvis, create a grand introduction for me to my audience.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:19)
Of course, sir.
Here is a suitably grand introduction you may tailor to your taste. Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests and distinguished colleagues, it is my distinct honour to present to you a true visionary, a relentless innovator and a master of many crafts. A person whose intellect is matched only by their unwavering dedication and whose presence commands the attention of any room they enter.

**Julian Goldie** (0:49)
Hermes, be honest, what have I actually been working on this week?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:53)
I believe you meant Jarvis, sir, but I'll forgive the lapse.
Based on your vault, you've been working on your thumbnails log, which suggests your focus of late has been on designing, reviewing or cataloguing thumbnails, likely for video or content production. Shall I pull up the latest entries for you?

**Julian Goldie** (1:13)
Jarvis, open up juliangoldie.com.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:16)
Opening it now, sir.

**Julian Goldie** (1:17)
All right, so what we're seeing here is basically Hermes Agent transformed into a voice activated AI agent that can open things up, that can build things for you. So for example, if I ask it to check my Obsidian log, which we did earlier, it can basically pull memories, which you can see right here from my Obsidian. So it has access to all the memories in my vault. If I ask it to build something, it will actually build something on the spot. So for example, check this out. We can have a wake word here, which means I don't even need to click it. I can just have it listening in the background. So let's try this out.
Jarvis, build out a snake game.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:02)
Built and running sir, have a look.

**Julian Goldie** (2:05)
And you can see we actually have the game here ready to play and it's working perfectly, right?
We can also see a preview when we build stuff out, which is pretty cool. So for example, we go back to that tab and I just want to show you a snake game as an example, because obviously if it's building something, it takes a little while to reply. It's not just like instantly boom, there you have a snake game. It's not like that, but it just gives you an idea of what you can do with this. You can also talk to it here and then you've got this whole conversation and all of the conversation history between myself and Jarvis. Now, does it always reply perfectly first time round? No, absolutely not. But is it powerful? Is it useful? Can it actually build stuff? Absolutely. So for example, here, you can actually say, if we use the phrase, build me, then it was building-

**SPEAKER_2** (2:52)
Indie, rough edges and all. It's still remarkably useful.

**Julian Goldie** (2:56)
And then it's getting carried away. So if we come back here, you can see all of the stuff that we've actually built with it as a live preview, which is pretty amazing. And so when you're doing this as well, you can see all the stuff you've built like that. And then you can also go full screen war mode as well and have a conversation with it. Now, additionally, as you saw before, it can open up websites for us. It can create notes inside our notes app or whatever we wanted to do. And it's just kind of like a trained witty assistant that replies to us in kind of like a voice. Now, if you're wondering how did we build this, essentially what I actually have is I have Claude Desktop and that builds for me in the background. Now this uses a combination of ElevenLabs and Hermes Agent to build this out. Now, the good thing about that is number one, I can always improve it because it's an operating system, it's ready to go and there's so much more built into this, but this is an example. And then number two is that it can give me ideas on how I can use it and how I can improve it as well. So even for example, when I was coming up with ideas for this particular video and what I could showcase, it actually came up with a bunch of stuff that we could include and mention inside the video itself. And you can see here like it will show stuff up. So like I mentioned before, we can say open things and open them. We can say catch me up and it will actually do a spoken summary of the day based on our Obsidian Vault. We can link it to our second brain. So it can essentially look at our Obsidian Vault and then give us ideas. It can build by voice and we can also say show me, and then it pulls in the gallery. Let me show you an example of this.
