Hermes: Agent OS + Obsidian + FREE Apis + WebUI!
Build Your Own AI Operating System with Hermes Agent (Free Models, Memory, Video Pipelines & More)
The video explains how to build an “AI operating system” using Hermes Agent to manage multiple AI workers (writing, editing, judging) in one place, swap in new models as they appear, and keep workflows like video creation, SEO, games, music, and lead gen organized and reusable. It contrasts this approach with Hermes Desktop (limited to Hermes and less visual) and n8n (more technical, messy, and break-prone), and shows examples like building games and fully edited videos using the Hyperframes skill plus optional HeyGen. It covers cost and token control via coding plans (e.g., Kimi, GLM 5.2), free OpenRouter APIs, OAuth logins, Headroom token reduction, and free models via News Portal. The system uses an Obsidian “second brain” for shared memory and context, includes voice features like Jarvis, supports VPS setups, and is distributed and updated via the AI Profit Boardroom community.
