How to Run Hermes Agent FREE Forever!

Today, I want to show you a powerful way to use Hermes Agent for free forever. And this is one of the easiest, fastest ways I've seen to do it. And also one of the benefits of this basically like you almost get your own free VPS. So this is Hermes Cloud, as you can see right here. And you can use a one click deploy. So if you struggle with getting Hermes Agent set up, it's super easy. And then also you can plug this into an agentic operating system like you can see over here. So if we go over to Hermes Agent, we have Hermes Cloud plugged in. And with Hermes Cloud, you get loads of free models that you can run 24-7. So for example, if we go over to the News portal, so this is a portal for news research, which is the creator of Hermes Agent. But you got loads of different free models that you can plug into the system, and then you can use them for free whenever you want. So for example, there's Major and Long Camp, there's Upstage Solar Pro 4, there's Poolside Laguna S 2.1, there's Inclusional AI Ling 3 Flash. And I think most people are not aware of, you can use these free models, so ready to go, and you can plug them into an AI agent. So I'll show you how to set this up in a second. Let's just test it out. And also one of the things that I've noticed is, for example, if I'm using Astra 6 inside Homey's agent, or quite often a lot of other APIs, like they take ages to respond, but if I use Homey's Cloud, like it seems really, really quick. So let me just run a test message inside here, and we'll try it out. So you can see it's running like so, and usually it only takes like about five, six seconds to respond, which is really quick for Homeys. Usually it's a lot longer. Also you could run this on a blank slate system. And then what that means is you have a blank slate profile, so that basically all the tools are off inside Homeys agent, and that makes Homeys like even faster. It makes a setup more basic, but 99% of people are not using all the tools inside Homeys anyway. So the other good thing about this is that it's got its own persistent memory. So the memory actually lives with the agent. So for example, if you're using Homeys Cloud inside your AI agent as a brain of Homeys, then the cool thing about that is that it has its own memory that's persistent in the cloud. So no matter which device you connect this to, and it's all connected to the same cloud account, you can have this on multiple different devices, on your mobile, on a couple of laptops, but it's got the memory that's shared across all of them. You don't need to set up like Obsidian across each one. Also, it's in an isolated sandbox. So that means basically, if you've got Homeys agent running 24-7, and it's running scheduled tasks, it's not going to have access to your local setup, which means that it's safer to run.

And also, you can connect this to every channel. So if you want to use this inside like Telegram, Discord, Slack, email, you can do that too with one memory. And yeah, it's pretty cool. So the other good thing about this is, for example, you can build it into custom workflows. So if we have a look inside our agentic OS, we have a voice agent over here. This is Homeys Apollo that can build cool stuff and we can see everything we've built over here. And then also, we've got Homeys Oracle that pulls in the list, trending news and data and research. We can see it across multiple days. We can draft social media content based on it. We can publish content to SEO for our websites for this. And we can also see the original verified source for that particular topic. As you can see right here, we published this article and this went straight to our website. Pretty nice, right? We created a full blog post just in one single click based on that trending news. Here's another example. So Homeys agent analyzes the latest content I've created, and then gives me more content ideas based on what's actually working. Pretty nice, right? And so these are all different systems that we can use with Homeys agent to create custom workflows, but it's all plugged into Homeys cloud, and Homeys cloud is free. And so we're basically creating all these amazing workflows and automations, but we're doing it for free. So how do you set this up? Here's the way that I did it. So I have a separate profile, which means that I can switch between all my different profiles inside Homeys in one single click, as you can see. So I don't need like any technical configuration. And also you don't need to use terminal or do anything technical to set this up.
