Hermes Agent is the best AI personal assistant on the planet, but most people use it just like a chatbot, meaning they don't unlock its full capabilities. And in this video, I'm going to show you everything that I've learned from spending hundreds of hours in Hermes, so you don't waste weeks of time, build things superior to your competitors, and do so way more profitably. And if you're new, I'm Jack. I built some last tech startup with the gazillion customers. Now I'm building my own AI startups and I just shared the stuff that actually works. So if you haven't already, grab that coffee and let's dive straight in. So this is going to give you everything you need to know about Hermes. And at the end of this video, you're going to have a Hermes agent so powerful, you're not going to actually believe it. Now, first thing to understand is that downloading Hermes and not using these great insights is essentially buying a Lambo and only keeping it in 10 mph. We're just not unlocking the capability. Now, the first thing we talk about is Hermes memory. It is what sets it apart from all of the other AI assistants. And it's so unbelievably easy to use. I'll show you how it works and little hacks that I'm using to make its memory like some kind of big brainiac and it just never forgets anything. So, you've got this memory engine that explains what's going on behind the hood. But there was an update recently inside Hermes that makes this memory super powerful. So, the first thing you want to make sure you're doing is make sure Hermes update. So, just make sure you're dealing with the very latest version of Hermes, so you have access to all of the latest features. And in this video, by the way, guys, I'm going to cover some of the biggest questions I've seen on Hermes. I haven't seen anybody answer. It is going to help you get way further ahead. So, one of the things that we can do is actually ask Hermes what it was doing on specific days. Hey there, man. Tell me what was one of the things that we were talking about on Sunday. And as you can see, Hermes can now come back and specifically mention what you were talking about on that exact day. Now, the actual memory system itself has a memory. MD, which is just a plain markdown file that has everything you're talking about. You have these peer cards, which is one card per person. It covers tone and preferences. We have this fuzzy index and also a 1h hour prompt cache, which keeps your token limit lower and will just remember some of the conversations that you've had. But one thing that you need to add to Hermes agent is a soul.md. I can show you what that looks like on this beautiful system right here. So, for example, on Hermes, you'll see you can effectively have a chat with it and it will record everything that it needs to know about your soul.md. For example, I'll put this link down below for you so you can grab it. You need to, if you haven't already, give it a soul.md. Explain who you are, where you live. It's basically the context manual for your life. So, it understands everything that you're talking about and also how you want it to behave and chat to you. Do you want it to look around corners? Do you want it to challenge your thinking? You need to make sure that you actually fill out the information on your soul. The other thing that you're going to want to do is connect your Hermes agent to your Obsidian memory system that lives on your computer. If you don't have Obsidian, you can also connect it to Pine Cone if you want to. This is an example. This is just all the different files I have in my Obsidian. You can do this pretty easily by just like linking it up or sharing that pathway. This is like a one-click paste and go, but that will really elevate the level of your memory system inside Hermes, meaning you can ask it questions. For example, if I bring up Hemy's agent right now, I can say something like, "Hey, the dude. In my Obsidian memory system, I talk a lot about YouTube strategy. Go ahead and pull me one great insight for intros that will be valuable for me." And this can action I go ahead and dynamically search my Obsidian memory system on my own computer. Then it's also really handy to give it access to your AI meeting notetaker. Again, that could be Granola, that could be Fireflies, it could be Fathom, but being able to ask questions about your meetings dynamically is unbelievably helpful. For example, if I get a fresh chat, I can say something like, "Hey there. Um, just tell me the title of the last meeting I was in and just one point that I made in it that would be interesting or valuable." And we can send that one off and just chat to our meetings on the go, which is unbelievably helpful when you connect it to one of these services. And as you can see, it's connected to my Granola. It knows that I'm using Granola. I find Granola at best because I can just chat to it. I did move from one of the other services. This video is not sponsored or anything, but I just find that one really helpful. and it'll just give me that information whenever I physically need it. And you'd be surprised how often you want to recall on your own emails. It is crazy. And they go, for example, from the coffee call that I do in my community every week where I answer people's questions. This was from a YouTuber who had a question and we helped them out with that. Very cool. Then once we've crushed meetings, the next one you want to do is connect your emails. You can connect to Google directly, but the easiest way to do it I found and the one that I personally use is Zapium. You can collect a new MCP down here by clicking on other. And the reason I like this is because it's very easy to actually select all the bits and pieces that you want to. It shows you all the things you need to do to connect and you can effectively just pick all the tools that you want to go ahead and use. So for example, all you do down here, if I click on Gmail, for instance, I can select what am I happy with? I'm happy with adding labels, archiving, deleting, creating drafts, but I I may not want it to be able to send. So you can dynamically configure all the stuff that you want to come down, connect your tools, connect your world, and then connect that to basically Hermes agent. So you can do anything you want to and actually ask questions about your emails. Now by using these systems you will 10x your memory beyond what most people are even doing. And I'll leave this on screen for a second so you can learn about how the Hermes inbuilt memory actually works. Well, this leads us on to one of the coolest features inside Hermes agent which is the ability to run things in the background. You'll notice when I say questions like hey and then you send another one like why or you ask it any questions, it basically interrupts it. So we can get around this by using a new slashman called background. So I can say hey there dude do me a favor go do some research on the most untapped industry for AI automations. Okay beautiful that's the thing that I wanted to go ahead and do. Now this is going to basically if I want to ask another question I can do for slash I can do background. Okay and what I can do with the background prompt is I can be like hey actually dude tell me also what is going to be the best place to live on the planet. What has the best work life balance? Whatever the thing is which just basically means you can have many different thoughts running at the same time and they will never collide into one another. And this very nicely takes us on to another powerful feature. And by the way, if you're wanting to learn about Claude code and the Hermes agent system in detail, I've got the world's most comprehensive course that I've ever pulled together on Claude Code, taking you from zero to pro. We cover memory systems, the Hermes agent, stuff that I've never covered on YouTube, apps, build anything. I get so many messages on this every day. I want to just make sure that you're aware of it because it is crazy. I'll put a link down below if you want to go and grab that and level up. It is pretty nuts. Now, one of the things I really wanted to double click on here with the Hermes agent is the fact that we can actually schedule tasks. And this is something that I recommend you do by way of what we call a crown job. For example, I can say, "Hey there, dude. Every morning, I would like to set up a morning brief to fire off at 8:00 a.m. And on that brief, I would like the following. What is the weather for today? What is a motivational quote from one of the top three entrepreneurs on the planet? What meetings do I have coming up that day?" And crucially, one key thing, I would like you to begin a dreaming sequence. I would like you at 6:00 a.m. every morning before you send this morning brief to go ahead and actually consider based on all of our conversation history, everything that you know that I'm doing, all my meetings, everything we've spoken about, what would be three core recommendations that you would have for that specific day and one nonnegotiable thing that I need to be doing that day based on all the data you've got both long-term, short-term, and access to all the files and systems that you have for me. Now, this is a really important prompt. And the cool thing about this prompt is I'm now getting Hermes to dream. Now, Hermes is the agent that grows with you. The more it knows about you, the better it gets. That's one of the most fantastical things about this system. So, I'm going to wake up now with the morning brief. It also, by the way, has access to my entire Claude code system. This here is the Claude Code operating system. It's got the Hermes Agentic operating system. I'll explain about this in a second. But the core thing that we can actually do here is connect Hermes to Claude code. So effectively anything that I'm doing, I see even cloud code's got this dreaming feature here. But anything that I'm doing inside Hermes or Claude Code can be connected. So my claude code knows exactly what's happening in with my Hermes and my Hermes agent knows everything that I'm doing on my computer, right? It's fully fully connected to it. You see this Claude OS bridge right here? What this basically means any messages I'm sending to claude code anti-gravity codeex you name it I now have access to in Hermes agent why is that important because we have this split world sometimes I'm coding sometimes I'm just talking to Hemy's agent this bridges the gap meaning I can actually have full context and how can you possibly give the best advice if you don't have the full context of the thing you're talking about now as you can see it's come down and it's basically explained that entire brief for me so now I'm going to have that what we call a cron job happening whenever. You can also say, "Hey, remind me in 30 minutes that I need to go take my dog out." And it will message you. So, it is literally treat it like your personal assistant. We like it. We're for birthday parties. We're a big fan of Hermes, but treat it like your personal assistant. And then this brings us nicely onto OpenClaw versus Hermes versus Gravity Claw versus your own personal assistant. The thing is this, the best personal assistant is the one that you're going to use. Of all the ones I've tested, Hermes Agent is the best at getting you from zero to one. I've listed some of the issues that I've found with Open Core, I found that it folds itself into a pretzel when I use it, and I tried to push too much, but you can see some of the key differences in terms of its memory cross sessions, background tasks, mission control, loads of interesting things that I think you'll find valuable. But the core thing is I wouldn't run six or seven different assistants. I find it best to have one and doubleclick into that and give it all the strength and connections that it needs. Now this takes us onto another really cool feature in Hermes which is the goal feature. The idea being that you basically come down you can type in for/goal and you can give it a task. So for example I can say great what do you want to talk about and essentially the idea here is it lasts it persists for 20 messages and Hermes will basically go will just keep on working until it solves the problem that you've got it. So goals is a great one. It's like a northstar. Like homies, for this session, for our conversation, I want you to focus on this thing. And you can actually 10x the forward/ goals by using something called a super goal. Now, a super goal is something that I built out because I basically spent days looking at this and I realized like goals are great, but they have one limitation, mainly that there's no human AI handshake, which means that if you say to Hermes, hey, I want to go and build a YouTube thumbnail for a video that I'm doing. it will keep going and it will give you an output or like if you you may give it a goal that requires you for example in this super goal system and by the way I'll put the full resources for you down below so you can literally grab the uh basically short goal skill which helps you write good short goal prompts and I'm also going to put down below for you the long goal skill so if you haven't got the dashboard basically what you can do is just use this system is basically a mega prompt that you put into Hermes and it it will basically break down any goal you've got into multiple bite-sized chunks and effectively what it does is assign transactions to either you or Hermes. For example, shape the course promise. Look, I can click into this and this has got one big task. And the goal here is launch Homies course to 500 signups. Cool. Say you want to launch course on Heromies. You love it. You want to show the people. Great. Well, to do that, there's actually six things that we need to do. And Heromy's agent will break those down. If you use that long prompt, if you're in my dashboard, you'll see you'll see something looks like this. And effectively, what it does is simple. I need to shape the course promise. I need to build the opt-in engine. I need to write the call sequence. Once that's happened, Jack, you actually need to go ahead and record the promo videos for it, bro. Interesting. So, you see how if we just used the standard goal feature, this never would have happened. So, by having this human AI handshake, we can connect together. This is really good for slightly longerterm goals. You see push final signups, 500 options verified, and when it's all done, it's all basically complete and you can check everything and it makes perfect sense. And remember, the goal feature is like a Ralph loop. it basically will just keep working and working and working until you define the output. So you need to make sure but it's specific. So for example, don't say I want to grow my business. I want to get a thumbnail that looks like this or I want a document that hits these criteria needs to be specific. And I'll put a link on screen for my full video breaking down if you want to check that out and learn a little bit more about it. And then this brings us really importantly onto the idea of models. So one of the cool things we can do in the Hermes is use our chat GPT subscription. But there's a brand new update which is very cool which is basically the ability to use our grom model again completely on the subscription. For example, if I come down here I have a do for/model I can actually see which model I'm talking to. And as you can see I'm now talking to X AI. So I can say something like hey there dude do me a favor just check and tell me what are the most viral tweets going live for Hermes in the last 48 hours. This is by far one of the coolest biggest things you can do with X AI specifically in Grock because effectively it has access the entire X database which would need to basically grab from ampify or some of the means if we didn't have that. Now how you actually physically do that which I'll show you while it's working in the background. If you open up the terminal which you can do by command spacebar and then type in terminal and it will appear like a magic is what we can do is you can do Hermes space model like so. And this will show you all of the different models. Now the ones that you're going to want to have xi grock important literally you just hit enter and it will go through the oorthth experience opens a browser. You sign in then you're fully connected. It's awesome. The one that you're going to use most of the time though is going to be um you need open router. This will give you access to every model. Very freaking cool. We like that a lot. But of course for your day-to-day stuff, I recommend open AI codecs. I like to chat basically with called Opus 4.7. It's expensive and you do have to pay on API credits. But it just in terms of how it presents in the chat, there's nothing really better. You can just use OpenAI codeex, but I don't ever use Opus 4.7. You can use the Sonnet by the way. Sonic is just as like good in many respects to be fair. But basically, you never want to be doing any deep research with those powerful models cuz one of the cool things that you can do with Hermes is delegate, especially if you have something like I built called the Pantheon. Pantheon basically being the ability to create different tools for different missions. You can do this just by it's basically creating skills. I personally really like the ability to look at things visually. For example, if I've got Orpheus here who deeply reasons, I might use a more powerful model. If I'm doing like autopilot stuff and crown stuff, I can specify here basically what is the description of the job, what is the system prompt. It can go ahead and do this and you can leverage it. But even if you're just talking to um Hermes, you can be very specific about what models you want to do what, which is massively helpful. And I can come down here and look, it's coming down. It's even pushing about the integration. And with Hermes, you can say, "Hey dude, I want you to use Open Router and delegate to DeepSeek V4, okay? and just get it to go and do some deep research on what is the best place in the world to live. Cool. So, just as an a silly example, basically you can delegate these research tasks to any model you want to and that's how you really achieve this like insane level of performance without necessarily burning through your tokens. We specifically tag in the best model for the best job which leads on to another great update and this idea that we no longer have the Gemini CLI. Oh my gosh, Jack, what's going on with it? Well, they're deprecating it now. It exists as anti-gravity. So what does that mean? Well, I'll show you what it means. Okay, if I come down and let's create a brand new terminal and shut this one down. Effectively, anti-gravity is the new Gemini terminal. So, if I open up terminal, what this basically means is that we can access all of the Gemini models or basically the best Gemini model through this. If you come down and do a once you've installed it, you'll see it appears if you haven't installed this. And so, you can download the anti-gravity. I did a full video on this like literally a day ago. But if you come down and grab this link, I'll put it down below for you as well. Effectively, what you're going to do is come down and grab the anti-gravity CLI. Just copy that. Literally come over to your terminal, enter it in, and you'll be able to use it. And effectively, you do Google or AOTH, which is awesome. Opens up a new browser. You just go ahead and sign in. And then basically, you're fully connected to the anti-gravity CLI, and you can now use that within Hermes. So, say, for example, this is doing some work in the background, and it's going on too long. What I can actually do is for slashs stop and it kills everything. Cool. Then I can say, "Hey, I want to use the anti-gravity CLI to go ahead and quote for me a onepage website on selling websites. It looks gorgeous and beautiful." Something crazy like that. And I might just say use ag if it isn't aware. Now, this can use that CLI. Um the best use for the anti-gravity CLI remember Gemini multimodality reading looking at videos it can analyze videos long stuff like that very very cool but again like use Gemini for multimodality use chat GVT to review code and for design Opus 4.7 is still the king but we can tag in different models whenever we need to and so now we have this approach tagging in the best models one quick thing to call out on X is a million context window we like that a It's very very cool. But I think the coolest thing honestly is probably the fact it can just search X and if making any kind of content your ability to have your finger on the pulse of what's working, what isn't is really really valuable. So that's kind of the shining grace of Grock. Now this brings on to another really key thing that I found invaluable using Hermes and even code and that is the idea of having a mission control and operating system. I built this one. I actually spend over 7 hours specifically just on this onboarding that takes you through your operating system. It basically gets your photo and it actually identifies all the apps that sit on your computer. Now, you can build this one yourself, too. Obviously, if you want, you can grab this one from link below in the community. I spent a lot of time building it because I knew how valuable this thing actually is. But one of the cool things that I think is really important is tracking your usage on things, even if it didn't worth, and understanding the value of that. Now, one of the things that you want in any operating system is just to understand what your usage is. You want it to go ahead and dream and find things for you proactively. On the Hermy side specifically, one of the key things is this. Obviously, chatting is great. I want to know my memory. I want to know my average usage. I want to know what models. And look at this. It's now telling me I'm using Gro 4.3. And I can see which models I'm connected to. That's how cool this thing is. And it tells me all my open connections here at the top. And literally, when you connect here, guys, it will appear for you automatically. I can see my global connections here. That's how freaking cool this thing is. You can come down. This is where I talk to you about your goals, your long-term goals. I called this the Chief Wigum. Ralph Wigum was the kind of guy eating crayons in the corner. Mission control here. This idea of long-term goal planning is, I think, fantastic to have a visual interface. What that looks like. Obviously, building out your own systems, your own characters is really cool. And then the ability, which is really important, which I don't see enough people mentioning, is this idea of actually connecting your Hermes agent to GitHub. The reason we do this, and this is a task I have running every single day in Hermes, is it takes a complete snapshot every single day. People may not even know what this is anymore, right? Maybe they're like 16 or something, but taking a snapshot every single day of your Hermes and backing it up in a private GitHub. We do this because if we change our computers or something like that, we can always take our Hermes agent with us because it's stored privately in GitHub. GitHub is just a fancy word for place we store things. You know, this is an example of a power design skill that I made for beautiful designs. You know, this is an example of the GitHub repo. It's basically private and it stores everything there and you can just give a prompt to Hermes and it will store it and back it up so you've got it whenever you need it. And then with Hermes agent as well, there is also the ability to control your computer. In honesty, when I've played around with this, I've not really found myself using it too much. There aren't that many use cases, but it is really cool that you can ask it to do things by just saying, "Hey, use my computer and do various different things on your actual laptop." But I've not found myself going and using that a lot. So, I don't think it's like going to change your world, but it's cool that it's there and it's able to physically go ahead and do that. Now, the other thing that I just want to double click on here are probably 10 commands that you can use most frequently within Hemy's agent. Obviously, goal is key for/andoff to switch the model, persona, or platform. cron is if you want to do that. But obviously with a lot of these commands, if you're just using natural language, if Hermes is doing its job properly, properly, oh my gosh, how many coffees have I had today, guys? If it's doing it jobs properly, it should know what to do automatically, but you can spin it up clear. You know, steer is a really good one. So, for example, you can steer it in a direction without actually interrupting its task. That's really cool. Resumed to pick up a different session background. So, again, you could actually have a various different things and stack them up without interrupting it. canban for different multi- aent swarm boards um curator stop is really key and model just to switch those models manually if you want to then that brings us down to where should Hermes agent physically live I don't have a VPS to show you on this it doesn't make a big difference to me I honestly think running it on your computer is the best thing to do because I just found that it's easier honestly in a lot of respects I think it's also safer because if you're in the cl if you're in a VPS unless you tunnel it properly, you do all the correct security provisions, you know, there are people that can run like attacks on it. So, you can do it and be 100% safe. Of course, you can. I've shown you videos on exactly how to do that. But when it's on your own computer, when it's on your MacBook running over there on a laptop, if I was advising my brother or a paid consulting call, which I don't really do many of right now, but if someone asked me what would I do on my honest answer would be I think it's best to have your own Mac system or your own laptop and run it and have it running 24/7. It's insecured on your computer in your room. And if you're thinking, "That's cool, Jack, but I just don't want to expose it to loads of different files." Cool. You can use something called Docker. I covered it in my cloud masterass. And effectively, it creates, and this is the app that you want, is Docker. Effectively, what it let you do is create self-contained containers. As you might have guessed, they're like containers on your computer that run on your laptop, but are completely isolate. It's like having your house as your laptop or your MacBook. And effectively what what Docker is, it has a sealed off room that it lives in this kind of box and it cannot access anything else on your computer apart from what you have. So you can use something like Docker and just run Hermes in Docker if you want to, but honestly I run mine on my desktop personally. You can run in VPS if that's what you want to, but just be aware of your options. You don't have to run this in the cloud. And in fact, there's some things that just adds more complications. Like if all of your memory systems and Obsidian are on your computer, you can do that. If not, you have to connect it in different ways. Again, completely possible. I just think it's more straightforward to run it on your computer. And then with Hermes, just bear in mind, you've also got access to different messaging platforms, model providers, web search, loads of different terminal backends, so many different tools. And the other one I would just call it actually is when it's accessing the internet. The tool that I always use to integrate with this is something called firecrol. Web pages are basically HTML. Firecrawl can cut our costs down by 80%. And it's basically like a gentic web search. It's super powerful. It just always seems to get me the best information I need. So, this is what I tend to use for internet search when I'm going ahead and doing any kind of scraping online. But then this takes us on to probably the most powerful underrated connection that you could possibly make within Hermes Agent. And that's connecting it to the world's most powerful intelligence and research platform that unlocks new capabilities that most people don't even know exist. And we're going to learn that and do that by watching this video right
