01What Is an Agent Operating System?

An agent operating system is a central workspace where you combine all your AI agents together. It lets you manage different tools like Hermes, Claude, and a lead generation machine in one place.

Think of it like a mission control system. You have everything you need to win with AI inside one single place. You can even have a Kanban notebook lamp synced inside it.

This system helps you organize your agents, your projects, and your data. It makes it easy for your agents to work together and know the difference between projects.

02Key Features of the Agent OS Setup

The agent operating system has several helpful features. One is the ability to keep multiple projects separate. Each project gets its own notes, brain, and memory.

You can use Obsidian to build a memory galaxy. This is a knowledge graph with different markdown files. Everything is interlinked, but segmented into different projects.

Another feature is multi-agent orchestration. You can have a team of agents working together. A CEO agent commands a team, and those agents command their own sub-teams.

Here are some features you can add:

  • Color-coded modules for easy visualization.
  • Links between different companies and projects.
  • Video agents for animation and film creation.
  • Lead generation systems like the Deal Desk.
  • VPS setup with Cloudflare for remote access.

03How to Set Up Your Agent Operating System in Obsidian

Setting up an agent operating system is easier than you might think. Here are the steps shown in the episode for building your own memory galaxy in Obsidian.

  1. Download and install Obsidian, which is free.
  2. Create a new vault for your operating system.
  3. Separate your projects into different folders or markdown files.
  4. Add links between related projects, people, and strategies.
  5. Use color-coding to differentiate between projects, people, and other modules.
  6. Plug in your agents like Claude or Hermes to update the system automatically.

That is it. Your agents will update the knowledge graph for you. You do not need to update it manually.

04How to Use Multi-Agent Orchestration and Video Agents

Multi-agent orchestration lets your agents work together. You can set up a CEO agent that commands a team. That team can command their own sub-teams.

For video and animation, you have options. One way is to use open-source projects like Open Montage. This can generate a short feature film from a single prompt.

Another way is to use a video agent. You tell it the specific style you want. For example, you can ask for an animation-style or cartoon-style video.

You can also use a combination of models like Cling and Seed Dance 1.2.7.

Having a mission control dashboard with each tool in its own tab makes it easy to coordinate them.

05Results and Comparisons: GLM 5.2 vs Opus 4.8

GLM 5.2 is a powerful system. It performs side-by-side with Opus 4.8, but it is open source and a lot cheaper on the coding plan. You get more tokens for the price.

Julian compared them side-by-side. GLM 5.2 outperformed Opus 4.8 on many of the tasks they created. It can even create a full open world game.

If you use Olama, you can get up to two times faster responses with GLM 5.2. Olama is free to download and works well for local models. It is a great place to test out models like Ornith, which is a self-improving local model.

This makes GLM 5.2 a great choice for your agent operating system.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

Here are some tips from the episode to help you get the most out of your agent operating system.

  • Keep projects separate to avoid confusion.
  • Use color-coding to help your agents visualize differences.
  • Try GLM 5.2 for a cheaper, open-source alternative.
  • Use the /learn command in Hermes Agent to train your agents.

Avoid skipping the basics. N8n is great for learning the foundations, but once you understand it, you can move to the agent OS. It automates more without needing to understand code or HTTPS.

Be careful when setting up a VPS. Use Cloudflare as John did to make it work nicely. There are full tutorials for this.

07Who Should Use an Agent Operating System?

An agent operating system is for anyone who wants to use AI agents effectively. It is especially useful for agency owners and non-technical people.

Julian says if you're non-technical, you can still build and grow your own custom automations. The community helps each other with daily tutorials and coaching calls.

It matters because it saves time and makes your work more efficient. You can manage multiple projects and businesses in one place. You can also train your agents to learn new skills.

Members like Andrew, Robbie, and Davide have already built their own systems. Whether you want to generate leads, create videos, or run a business, the agent OS can help.

08How to Get Support and Learn More

To get the full agent operating system setup, you can join the AI Profit Boardroom community. There are daily video tutorials and step-by-step guides.

You can post questions anytime. There are people online 24/7 to help you. There are also four weekly coaching calls where you can share your screen.

Inside the community map, you can meet people in your local area who are building with AI agents. You can also direct message Julian whenever you need help.

Members like Tim share their journeys, and you can train your agents using new tutorials. The /learn feature in Hermes Agent lets you give it a guide, and it saves it as a skill for future sessions.
