NEW Hermes Agent Cloud Update is INSANE!

Hermes Cloud has just dropped, and this is a really easy way to basically set up Hermes Agent in the cloud, have it run in 24x7, it takes a couple of clicks, and then 60 seconds later, your agent is live. So you can build an AI employee in 60 seconds. In fact, we call this the 60 Second AI Employee. So this research just put Hermes in the cloud. This isn't always on agent that never sleeps, it remembers everything it learns and it researches, and it can reach you on every single platform. I actually set it up as a profile and wired it into our agent OS. And I want to show you exactly how to get the most out of this. Now, if we have a look, for example, we've got Hermes agent built inside our agent OS, and we can chat with it over here. It's very quick and easy to use. And the thing with Hermes right now is like, there's a bit of a closed lid problem. So imagine hiring the perfect employee. They work brilliantly, right up until you close your laptop. Lid down, they stop mid-task, mid-sentence every single time. That's basically every agent.
And the problem is that it can get stuck, it can break. If it's not in the cloud, then it can sometimes run out of APIs. And also, if you're not behind your computer and you need to fix something, that can be a bit of a problem. Now what you can actually use is this cloud setup. And you might say, cloud sounds expensive and technical.
Actually, you just pick a name and a model, it's online in seconds. And you can also set up with three models as well. So there's a doorway with an agent that never clicks clocks off and it can basically speak to you on every single channel that you actually use. So the doorway is News Portal. And it's one login that serves over 200 models plus a tool gateway, web search, image generation, etc. Then you've got the agent itself, which is a cloud agent, so you can give it a name, pick a model, and it gets its own hardened container, which is also good because it's sandboxed and protected in the cloud, its own persistent workspace, and it runs 24-7 on News Portal servers instead of your Mac. So when it's idle, the meter only ticks when it's actually working. So if you stop it, then it's not going to use anything. And it reaches across every channel. So you have one cloud agent, one memory reachable from Telegram, Discord, from your agent, OS, and everything else.
And that's how the whole system works. Now, you might wonder, okay, what happens when you actually deploy one?
So it's pretty simple and easy. Like you just name it, you pick a model. Then it gets put inside a sandbox. The dashboard goes live. It works whilst you sleep.
And for example, we can give it a task over here, and then it can work in the cloud completely in a separate container. So there's always on. So if you're wondering how to deploy it, you can just go to the cloud over here, and then you just sign in and set it up. And it literally takes like two minutes to set up. It's pretty simple and easy.
So there is a cloud portal here, and then you can set it up from there. It's like two clicks. I've already set mine up, so I can't really show you, but yeah.
So the cool thing about this is like, every time I was running the Agent OS, sometimes it would stop if it was running on local models, you could stop your computer and it stopped running. Also, for example, sometimes something will break inside the Hermes setup or the API would run out, and it's like, okay, well, how do I fix it? I have to go back to my computer, I have to set it up again. Whereas with this setup, we've got our agent running in the cloud and it's ready to go. It's pretty fast as well. That's the super cool thing. And you can get this setup in like 60 seconds, right? So 60 seconds, you set up your AI employee and it never asks for a day off.
Now, if you're wondering how to build the setup here, we can use a Hermes cloud profile and then we can plug it into your agent OS. So this is what it looks like when you're setting up. You can do it yourself inside the cloud portal and then you can create an isolated profile as well. Now, you might say at this point, okay, I already have Hermes on my Mac. Why bother with the cloud? Because your Mac can break. Sometimes you want a Hermes agent that's sandboxed in a separate container isolated so that it's safer. And then also, if you close your agent OS, it can still run in the background as well. So it's pretty powerful. You might also say, doesn't it use like a lot of tokens? But actually, you can set this up with a free API or you can use a free model or a cheap model and that way it's better. Now bear in mind, like you can have Hermes running in the background. So even if you don't have a cloud setup, it can run in the background. But the thing is, then you have to go back into your actual device to fix it and edit it. And if it stops working, then if you're out and about, you can't go and fix that. Whereas with the cloud model, you can just log in to the portal online. It's in the cloud and you can edit it. And also some people don't want to install Hermes agent on their device because they've got files they don't want the agent to touch. And so if that's the case, then instead what you can do is just have it in the cloud. So let's test this out now. So this is Hermes cloud. We'll say, okay, come up with some cute ideas for AI automation.
