Hermes Agent OS is WILD!

Today, I'm going to show you a powerful system that I've set up with Hermes. And this basically automates every single part of Hermes, but also presents it in a beautiful UI, which is what you want when using Hermes. I will tell you now, using an agentic operating system like I'm about to show you now is probably the most powerful way to use Hermes Agent. And also you can plug in free models. So for example, we've just plugged in Step 5, which is a new free model we can use with Hermes Agent. Super fast, really awesome to use. You can get it free for the next week. And additionally, we've also plugged in Hermes Apollo as a pop-up voice agent. So what this means essentially is we can use Hermes inside the chat here. We can switch between different profiles. We have loads of different profiles built into the system, as you can see.
But then also we can also use and speak to our AI agent over here. So we can use two different versions of Hermes at the same time, one via voice and one via chat. Now, if we go into Hermes Apollo here, this is like a pop-up version and it stays persistent as we switch around. So that Hermes agent voice mode is just ready to go at every single step of the process. I can then close it or end it. I can minimize it if I need to. I can change the voice on that as well. So if we click over here, we can change the voice and I can say, hey, how are you?
SPEAKER_2 (1:14)
Very well. Thank you, sir. How may I assist?

Do you know what's been going on in Obsidian recently, my memories?
SPEAKER_2 (1:22)
Just a moment, sir. I'm checking. The latest notes mentioned questions about agent OS, but I don't appear to have you.

So you get the point. And then also you can see over here, what we have is this section called Hermes Oracle. Now, Hermes Oracle basically is analyzing the latest trends in our industry. It's finding the latest news. You can see it's pulling in here. And also we can see when it was last updated. Now it's re-scanning, scanning every, I would say every 10 to 12 hours, but you can scan it as much as you want. So it always consults the Oracle, tells us what's going on. We can also listen back to the brief if we don't want to wait.
And then we can see all these different pieces of news here. So we can actually click on these and see the individual trending news that's dropping. Now it's also scored by what's trending right now. So which topics are the most important, the most interesting. So you can see right now, this is the most important and interesting topic that's just dropped. And then additionally over here, we can also quickly turn this into a post or we can publish it to WordPress. So what this means essentially is I can create SEO articles, I can create Twitter content around this particular topic, and it even gives me an angle for the content I'm going to create. Now it pulls in the latest data from Grok, which Hermes agent is really good to do. If you already subscribed to Twitter, you can just plug in your existing Grok subscription, and then you're good to go on there. Now over here, we have Hermes Muse, and Hermes Muse is basically looking at my existing content and telling me exactly what content is popping up right now, what is hottest content right now, so we know exactly what to create next time.
So basically, this is analyzing all of my current content, is re-scanning on a scheduled task every single day, and then over here, it's pulling in the latest trending topics and what we should create content around next based on what's already worked. Now, we also have cool workflows like Hermes Astrost, which basically analyzes the latest trending news. And then if we go to, for example, Apollo, this is our voice agent in full screen mode. As you can see, all of our conversations, we can change the voice, we can switch between codecs or the API. Personally, I prefer to use the API. And then if we click into it, we can start talking. Hey, how are you?
SPEAKER_2 (3:27)
At your service, sir. What can I do for you?
Julian Goldie (3:29)
Hey, could you just give me some ideas on what happened in the AI industry today?
SPEAKER_2 (3:34)
Certainly, sir. Allow me to check that for you.
