NEW Hermes Agent OS Just Changed AI Forever!

This new agent operating system for Hermes is absolutely wild. I'm going to show you exactly what I built, but this is basically what you need with your Hermes agent if you really want to get the full power of it. And the reason that I say that is because the way that I see people using AI agents, and you might have experienced this yourself, is like nobody knows the actual use case. Nobody knows why they're using it because they don't have a good system to manage their Hermes agent or any sort of agent in general. And the problem with that is that they don't really get the most out of it. Well, bear in mind, this is the most powerful technology we've probably ever had as human beings, right? And it's totally changing the face of the planet. But the biggest issue is nobody really understands it. And the reason for that is if you're using Hermes Agent, let me explain, if you're using Hermes Agent normally, you're gonna be using Hermes inside the terminal like so. And then you've got this terminal window and you're just operating on a single chat basis. You plug in a prompt here, you get something back, but that's all. And that really is just a glorified ChatGPT if you're using Hermes Agent. There's no point you even using Hermes Agent at that point. You're just wasting your time. Now, what I think, and this is what's worked for me, it totally changed everything in terms of the way I manage my AI agents, is having one dashboard, one mission control with all your agents built in. And every time something new comes out that's actually useful, with, for example, Hermes, you can plug it in. Let me show you an example here. For example, Minimax M3 comes out, probably the most autonomous agentic model has ever been released. It can run for 24 hours on its own. So what do we build in? We build in a goals mode into our agent operating system. We plug in a goal and then it can go off for 12 hours, 24 hours. I can go to sleep, come back, and it's getting work done. Plus, it's all saved inside my workspace. This is another powerful use case for an agent operating system is that you can actually save everything in one place and preview everything you've created. So here's some examples of what we've built. And you see the quality of the websites as well. It looks super nice. It can even, for example, do trailers, voiceovers, podcasts, videos. And everything is in one place. Now tell me how are you going to find that if you're using the terminal? You're not, right? Now you might say, OK, Julian, Hermes Desktop has just come out. Let's do that instead. But the thing is, you're going to have the same problem, which is where are your other agents? Where's your team? Where's Claude? And also, how do you preview your artifacts? So as an example of this, what are you looking at here? How is it going to help you? So, for example, if we click on this Markdown file we've created, we can't really preview it inside the app.
You're not going to get a full preview. It's not going to help you. You can't really see any images you've previously created in Hermes Desktop unless you start creating them in the future.
Whereas, for example, you compare that to an agent operating system, and it's just a mission control. You are the captain of the ship. You are the one managing everything, keeping everything in one place, and you do it in a beautiful design that you can custom make anytime you want. That's the thing. I have made this. This is something that I've built from scratch, and it's customized exactly how I want it to be. The reason it looks like this is because I've decided it looks like this.
It's the same for you. You, as a business owner, probably one of the reasons you got into business is because you want control, and also you want freedom. You're not going to get that if you're using the terminal. Unless you're a coder and then maybe you have a bit more freedom, you have some skills and some chops with Hermes Agent that you can use inside the terminal. But most of the time, 99 percent of the time, this is going to be something that gives you way more power, that's going to make you feel way more in control of your agents, that's going to help you get the most out of them.
And the other thing I would say here as well is that if you're using Hermes directly inside the desktop, quite a lot of the things that should be working aren't working. I'll give you an example. So if we want to do voice mode here, we have to allow a microphone, but there's no option to allow my microphone. So how do I do it? I have to figure out, spend 20 minutes Googling it or going inside ChatGPT or Claude or whatever. Whereas, for example, if I go inside Hermes on my agent operating system, I can just click this button, boom shakalaka, we can start having a conversation. How are you today Hermes? Boom shakalaka, right back at you. I'm great. Thanks for asking. Ready to chat whenever you are. You see the difference right there? That is what we're talking about. Now, also one of the big things that I would say is like, whether it's with Hermes, whether it's with Claude, whether it's with OpenClaude, you can switch between them. You can create and organize things like you see here. You can add new features in the functionality. Also, the reason that I'd recommend organizing your agents with an operating system is that you can add new features. So Claude just dropped this new feature called Ant CLI, and it came out about five hours ago. Guess what we did? We plugged it straight in as a CLI into the agent operating system that we have.
