Today, we're going to be answering questions about the Agent Operating System, how to use it, how to get the most out of it. This is a powerful system where we combine a memory system. We take the latest updates. So for example, like Grok 4.5 just dropped, we've already created a Grok CLI inside the system where we've tested out loads of different core builds with this and it looks really, really impressive. And bear in mind, this is free if you already subscribe to Twitter, which is awesome. We've got, for example, like free Claude code plugged into HY3 and OmniRoot that just dropped over the last seven days. And then for example, with the new Grok 4.5 update, we've got Hermes Oracle plugged into it. We've got Hermes Astros. We've got a voice powered AI agent. This is by far the most powerful way to use AI agents. 99% of people don't know about how to use this or that it's even possible. And we've already created all these amazing systems around it. So we actually give this to AI Profit Board and members. And then we get a lot of questions daily about how to use these systems. So what I'm going to do today is just answer those latest questions. Let's get into it. So we've got a question here from Jean. And Jean was saying, you know, with Rough Flow, is it still worth using or is OpenClaude or Hermes better? And I would say Rough Flow was great. If you're not sure what Rough Flow is and you're watching this, by the way, Rough Flow is a system where you can have multiple sub-agents working with whatever agent you're using. So for example, with Claude Code, you could create like a full team of agents. I would say that Claude Code actually replaced it with UltraCode. So they created their own version of Rough Flow anyway. So you don't need it. And then also, if you go into Hermes, Hermes automatically has teams of sub-agents as one of their latest updates as well. On top of that, if you actually go inside the Kanban board of Hermes Agent, you can visualize the sub-agency you create. So if you want teams of agents, you don't need Rough Flow anymore because you can either do that with Claude and Claude UltraCode or with Hermes. But either way, you don't need Rough Flow. It was just really good a couple of months ago when none of those features were out for either Rough Flow or Hermes. So we have a question here from Andrew, and Andrew was asking like how to set up OpenSEO. So there's a full set of instructions on the GitHub right here. As you can see, this is a powerful system for rank tracking, for automating SEO, for having different SEO workflows, and then you can plug it into your Agent OS. So for example, we have this full SEO section for SEO inside the Agent OS here, and then we have OpenSEO there. But if I did, and this is what worked for me personally, because I had never set up Docker myself, is just get the details of the GitHub, paste that into Claude, make sure you're using either Fable 5 or Opus 4.8, and then get it set up for you. And then just keep it looping until it finally works. John is asking, has anyone attached Hermes to Abacus? So, I think Abacus actually have a Cloud hosted version of Hermes, and you can use that directly with Abacus.
But personally, I would just use it either self-hosted or on a VBS. And actually, Hermes have just released Hermes Cloud today, where you can actually host Hermes in the Cloud and use it directly there instead. So, I don't see the need for using it with Abacus unless you want all of their tools, but when I tested out myself, it was pretty slow. And I think there's better ways to use it when you self-host it yourself and customize it as you want. So, we have a question here.
Nick was like, you know, with the boom of AI and marketing becoming more saturated, and everyone having an AI agency, which I actually don't know many people who have a big AI agency. Like there's a few people implement it, but there's not that many people implement it consistently and sell it to clients. So, I still think it's wide open right now for most people. I haven't even seen any good white label options, but Nick has said, why not make the business yourself and implement it for yourself? Yeah, so we actually implement it in every single one of our workflows inside our agency.
