GPT-6 Astra + Hermes Agent is SCARY GOOD!

Today, I'm going to show you how to connect GPT-6 Astra with Hermes Agent. And the great thing about this is if you're already on like ChatGPT Plus, or if you're on one of the ChatGPT Plans, you've already got access to Astra, you can literally just plug it in to Hermes Agent and make Hermes Agent like literally have the most powerful frontier brain in the world. It's absolutely amazing. Bear in mind, you can't plug in your subscription from Claude into Hermes, but you can do it with GPT-6 and then you can take it one step further. So for example, you could have a new profile with a new Hermes bot inside there. You could use it with a voice agent like Hermes Apollo. We'll come on to this later. Hermes Oracle, Hermes Muse. And the fantastic thing about GPT-6 Astra is that you can literally just go into Codex and it can build whatever you want. So when you combine this with something like Hermes with Astra, it becomes unbelievable. In fact, we've got Codex over here, we can switch between GPT-6 Astra and we've got Hermes inside one place. I think that makes it much easier. So let's first of all talk about Hermes agent inside GPT-6. How do you connect them? Good question. So literally all you do, super simple and easy. And I'll show you an example of how we did this earlier this week when it first dropped. So literally all I did, and I think this is probably the best way to use it, is you go to Codex, make sure you're on Astra, as you can see right here. And then you can say, can you switch the model inside Hermes and set up a new profile as GPT-6? You might say, why would you have a new profile? I think it's much easier to manage that way. So for example, every time there's a new model that drops, we've got GLM 5.2, or we've got, for example, one with local models. We have Quen 3.7, KimiK 2.7. It's just like really easy to switch between the brains and the different models inside Hermes that way. And then we've got it all inside one chat here. And also that's great because also inside Hermes, as you can see right here, every time we add a new profile, we have that as a Hermes bot with its own set of routines, its own sole MD file, and also its own agent inbox. And so, you know, just like Groggbot, you can use the power of Hermes bot, and it's inside one beautiful place with G6Astro or 5.6, and you can switch between them and that sort of thing. You now might also say, okay, how does it perform or what can it do differently that you can't do inside Codex, which is a great question as well. So here's why I love Hermes. Hermes is open source, which means it's much more moddable. So for example, if you're using Codex, this is what it looks like and you can't really change the UI. You're kind of like fixed and there's going to be certain workflows or certain systems you want to set up that you want to customize completely, but you can't because Codex is stuck like that. So how do you fix that? Well, the way that I like to do this is I will create custom workflows. So for example, with Hermes Apollo, it's kind of like Jarvis, essentially. We can speak to Hermes. It's actually using Chat Cheapity Voice real time to build with that. And then we can see our conversation here. We can see everything we've built down here. We can speak to it. And also we've got, for example, at Hermes Oracle over here. Now with Hermes Oracle, this is really cool. So this is a custom UI we've built. Again, you can't do this with Codex. You can't do this with Chat Cheapity, but you can do this with this system with Hermes Agent. And so essentially what we've got here is a full workflow where it pulls in the latest trending topics. It runs on a 24-hour schedule. Bear in mind, like Hermes Agent is designed for stuff like this. Like Codex, it can create schedules, but it's kind of messy and it doesn't look as nice. So here's an example of a schedule inside Codex. Here's an example of a schedule inside Hermes. Which one looks more beautiful and interesting? For sure, it's the Hermes version, right? And so that's why I like this. So what this actually does is it pulls in the latest information, and then from here, not only can it create the schedule, but we have all these buttons that just connect to our system. So we can click on Publish to WordPress, and that will create four SEO articles to four different websites about that particular topic in one single click. You can't do that inside the schedules of Codex. Good luck with that.
