Today, I want to show you one of the most powerful systems I've ever built with Hermes to automate competitor research and then also give you content ideas. And this is something called Hermes Astros. So it's a powerful system where we can use Hermes agent and then it can actually find us relevant competitor topics and it can give us new angles, unique new angles based on that particular topic. Plus, this is all plugged into our agent operating system. And every time we use it, it actually syncs directly to our obsidian memory so that all of our agents inside the system know what sort of content we're working on. So how does this work? Well, essentially, this is Hermes Astros. It's inside our agent operating system and we have it plugged in right here. Now, what we've actually got from there is Google Workspace API and we can use that to do content research. So if we have a look, for example, then we've got the different content ideas here. And this is set up on a schedule task, where it refreshes every 24 hours. And we can also re-scan it as well. We can change our watch list. So basically this means we can change the keywords that we're monitoring. We can add a new keyword to watch and we can also add a new competitor or a different topic that we want to watch. So if you have, for example, content creators, that you're like, okay, I should probably learn from them or I should study from them or they create great content that I like to create new angles around, well then you can plug it into this system. And Hermes Astros is just working 24 7 to find you new content ideas and new content angles based on what's actually trending. Now, if you want to quickly refresh it manually, you can just click on scan the skies and that will automatically start syncing and re-syncing again. And then from here, every star is a topic. So if you click on one of these stars, it will take you directly to the topic. So you can see, for example, here, this is the idea. It gives us a topic. It categorizes it in terms of what it's about. And then from here, what we also have is the signal. So where it comes from, how many, how much reach that particular piece of content got, and when it was from, so when it was actually published. Then from there, they've got the category, and we've got the score here. So this is score in terms of virality, and as she organizes all of the content, as you can see, in terms of which one is the most likely to take off for my niche. Plus, you can fully customize this to whatever niche you want, because you can add or delete different content creators or different keywords to watch, which is pretty amazing. So we could just delete that right here if we needed to, and then we can add new ideas in there as well. So for example, you can see here that we are watching the keywords, AISCO, Claude Code, et cetera. These are new keywords we're monitoring, and then this is monitor 24-7. Now if you want to see the link to the original piece of content, we've got that there. And then from here, we have the recommended titles based on this topic. Now these are unique titles, so it's not like you're just copying here. This is completely unique to the original, so that it finds a unique angle based on you. And again, you can customize this all to you, your industry, your topic, whatever you want. Then from there, we have the titles and we have the recommended angles. So the cool thing about this is it basically shows you, okay, what should you cover inside the topic? What's the hook you could use? It would actually be interesting. And then from there, you can automate the content yourself. So you can actually take that title and be like, okay, I'm going to create something manually with this. Or what you can actually do is you can take the title and be like, right, okay, from here, we're going to go to the video agent or we're going to go to Notebook Glam, or we're going to create SEO content based on that particular topic. So if we just click SEO content, that has now started writing an article for my website directly, right, using my SEO skill. And so it will publish your content directly to my website, completely unique, completely unique angle as well. So it's not fully automated, it's fully customized to me instead. And then also every time we use this, it's synced to our memory. So it's a super powerful system that makes research around particular topics or keywords, super automated and easy to use. And then we can also plug this into our video agent, into Notebook Glam, et cetera. So you can create the content or create a notebook around this, and we can create a video around it as well. So you see how we just clicked on Video Agent, and then it takes us over to our video director here. We can plug in the topic and the angle, hit write the script, and then from there, actually generate an amazing video, like you can see with the avatar, the script, the B-roll, all plugged together inside one amazing video.
