So there's a brand new update from Hermes Agent, which is Computer Use. And you can now use Computer Use on Windows and Linux as well. And also there's been improvements on the macOS. So if you're not sure what this is, basically this means that Hermes Agent can now control your computer. Let me show you an example. So we've got Hermes Jarvis over here, inside our agent operating system. And for example, if we switch on real time, and we'll say, hey, can you open up Obsidian for me? Boom, look at that. It literally opens up Obsidian. Hey, can you open up juliangoldie.com? Boom, shakalaka, it opens up juliangoldie.com. And then we're going to switch that off. And what we can also do is switch over here to agent mode. Now, agent mode is pretty powerful because now we can actually have it improving and building stuff directly inside our computer. So not only can we get Hermes Jarvis to, for example, open websites, control a computer, open up Obsidian, whatever. We can also have this working in the background, working on tasks with agent mode inside Hermes Jarvis as well. So if we say, hey, can you open up notes and just write a quick note saying hello? Look at that. It just opens it up instantly. Pretty crazy stuff.
Also, this can speak to us as well. And it's pretty powerful. So let me explain exactly how it works in a second. And then just to show you as well that it can like talk back and that sort of thing. So we switch on real time here and we've got the sound on now.
Hey, are you there? How's it going?
Quite well, sir. Ever ready to assist you? How may I be of service today? Can you open up Google for me? Google is now open, sir. So we can see how that works basically. And if you wonder, OK, how does this whole system loop around? How do you get Hermes Agent to control your computer like this? Let me walk you through the whole system. And this is using something I call the Hermes Takeover Engine.
Essentially, what you can do is you can get Hermes now to click and type on your computer in the background with its own cursor. Yours doesn't move. So, for example, when we created that note before that says hello, it doesn't interfere with what you're doing on screen. So you can work on something at the same time and it will just work in the background. And this just landed on Windows and Linux too, which is pretty awesome. So you can say, OK, you ask, you can say, do this for me. It reads the screen, it clicks and types, it does it in the background and everything gets done. And then you can keep typing or doing whatever you're doing whilst it's working on all that other stuff.
Now, you might be worried here, like, wow, it can take over my screen. These AI agents can take over my screen. Like, won't this lock me out or something like that? Well, that's really the whole point of this one is it doesn't. It works in the background. So your real mouse doesn't actually move. Your windows don't jump to the front. Your desktops don't switch. Your agent is just working in the background with this system. This really changes everything.
So the way this works is in five steps with the Hermes takeover engine. So it's a quiet takeover, right? It's driving your desktop in the background. Your cursor stays where it is. Your windows stay put. Nothing pops up in the front. You and the agent just work on the same machine at the same time. You can hand it any OS. So Mac, Windows, and now Linux, whatever you run, Hermes can click and type on it. Same simple commands, same background magic. And we have two options. So you can have ultra fast inside Hermes Jarvis, or you can have agent mode. Agent mode can do a lot more. It's a lot more powerful in the background. Auto is just like super fast, like literally real time as you saw before. And then it can do basic things as well with this. So it depends what you're automating with computer use and how powerful you want it to be.
Now you can do this with any brain you want, which means for example, you could plug in, we've got local models, we've got free APIs, we have OAuth, like for example, Grok, working with Hermes Jarvis. Whatever you want to work with this, you can have it working.
And there's also a stop button whenever you want as well. So we can click this on and off if we want to, or we can refresh a page.
