01What Is the Agent Operating System?
The agent operating system is a powerful system that brings all your AI agents together into one place. You can orchestrate your agents, manage tasks, and do almost anything you want with AI from a single interface.
It solves the problem of juggling multiple AI tools in separate tabs. Instead of clicking between Claude, Hermes, and other apps, you have a central workspace where everything is logged, organized, and ready to use.
02Key Features and New Updates
The agent operating system keeps evolving. In this episode, Julian Goldie shared several recent updates that make it even more powerful.
- Lead generation tool with Hermes Agent.
- Mixture of Agents testing for better results.
- Memory system that automatically updates and organizes your data.
- GLM Code section for GLM 5.2 coding plans, which you can plug into agent harnesses like Claude Code.
- NotebookLM integration for generating short videos in one click.
- SEO content pipeline with Open SEO support.
- Cloud Fable 5 coming back soon as a default CLI.
You can customize or change anything in the system to match your workflow.
03How to Set Up the Agent Operating System
Setting up the agent operating system is straightforward, even if you are not technical. Here are the steps Julian recommends.
- Download the zip file from the AI Profit Board (or the provided source).
- Unzip the file to your local machine.
- Install the system by following the included instructions or using a tool like Claude to help you.
- If using Docker, ask Claude to orchestrate the installation for you.
- Start with a blank workspace and begin adding your agents and tools.
Julian runs the system locally and has never used Docker. He finds local setup works perfectly well. Some community members run it on a VPS, but local is the simplest start.
04How to Use It for Daily Workflows
Once your agent operating system is running, you can use it for many tasks. Julian showed several practical examples in this episode.
For lead generation, create a workflow where you generate leads in one prompt, draft email campaigns, and manage all your contacts inside one system. This keeps everything in one place and saves time.
For SEO, the system can pull research from Google Search Console via the Google Workspace API. You can also use Open SEO with data for rank tracking. Then, plug in a keyword, add a case study, and deploy content to Netlify or WordPress.
Finally, index the content with Index Exceptional.
For video creation, use the Video Agent to generate videos in one click. Just type a prompt, and the system creates a full avatar video.
You can also create custom desks, like a LinkedIn desk, to schedule content and manage social media. The system is highly customizable.
05Results and Comparisons from the Episode
Julian shared several test results and comparisons to help you choose the right tools.
He compared Sonic 5 (a model) with GLM 5.2. He prefers GLM 5.2 because of cost and the ability to plug it into Hermes, which you cannot do with Sonic 5. He also compared Sonic 5 to Opus 4.8 and decided to stick with Opus 4.8.
Julian called Sonic 5 one of the worst AI releases, but he still likes Anthropic overall.
He also tested Mixture of Agents and called it pretty wild. He recommends checking it out.
Community members are getting results too. One member, Timo, set up Hermes Agent as a complete beginner. There are 194 pages of wins and testimonials showing that non-technical people can succeed with the system.
06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid
To get the most from your agent operating system, follow these tips and avoid common pitfalls.
- Focus on one thing at a time. Do not try five projects at once. This reduces overwhelm and improves results.
- Use Obsidian for memory instead of SQL. Markdown files are simpler and work better with agents.
- Avoid using GitHub for storing projects with sensitive data. It is open source and can leak. Use the agent operating system instead to keep everything in one place.
- Do not rely on free APIs like OwlAlpha, as they may disappear. Use OpenRouter's free models (like Gemma 4, North Mini Code, Hermes 3, NVIDIA Nemetron 3.5) as alternatives.
- Keep your system simple. Overcomplicating it can break agents.
- Customize the system to your liking. Change branding, colors, and workflows as needed.
07Who Is It For and Why It Matters
The agent operating system is for anyone using multiple AI tools and feeling scattered. If you run Claude, Hermes, Minimax, or other apps in separate tabs, this system helps you manage everything in one place.
It is especially useful for entrepreneurs, founders, and non-technical users who want to use AI agents without getting lost. The AI Profit Board community provides support, tutorials, and a space to share wins.
With 194 pages of testimonials, it is clear that people from all backgrounds can succeed. Whether you are doing SEO, lead generation, video creation, or team management, the agent operating system gives you a unified workflow.
It also helps you avoid common mistakes like data leaks and overwhelm. By focusing on one system and one project at a time, you can build something amazing.

The AI Profit Board offers more than just the agent operating system. When you join, you get access to a supportive community where members help each other.
Julian personally answers every question. Inside the classroom, you will find step-by-step tutorials, video guides, and a full beginner-to-expert path. There is also a weekly coaching course and a map to find local members.
You can ask questions, share your wins, and see what others are building. The community is positive and encouraging, which makes learning AI less lonely.
