The episode answers recent questions about building and using an agent operating system, emphasizing that once set up it can transform daily work by automating recurring tasks and integrating useful open-source tools like AI film generation and SEO systems. For beginners, the advice is to simplify by only adding the tools you actually use (e.g., just Claude), automate what currently consumes the most time, and personalize the UI and features to increase adoption. For installation on a VPS, viewers are told they can ask their agent to run through the guide’s modules and should avoid installing unnecessary components. The script also discusses staying productive despite “shiny object” distractions, using a video agent and SEO tools for content creation while posting manually to avoid platform penalties, leveraging Hermes Oracle for trending topics and WordPress publishing, teaching workflows via Claude’s browser extension, debugging Paperclip with Claude, and highlights shared memory/knowledge graph, Hermes Astros keyword monitoring, and an AI “SEO office” of agents available through the AI Profit Boardroom community and coaching.

So today we're going to be answering some of the latest questions on the agent operating system that we built, how to build them, how to create them, how to get the most out of an agent OS and some of the best features that we've built, plus how you can build your own and use your own to get the most out of this stuff. And the thing that I would say is once you set up an agent operating system, it literally changes everything that you do, right? I'll give you an example. So every time we have a task that is ongoing that I need to do like daily, I will literally just automate it as soon as I can and then build the custom workflow inside this setup.
If, for example, I see something pretty cool, like for example, open montage, as you can see here for generating AI films, then I just build it straight in. I'll show you another example. So this morning we saw an amazing operating system for SEO, and it was so easy just to get that open source project and build it into this system, as you can see right here, so that we can have like a real working office with our agents ready to go inside here. So if you're wondering, okay, like how do you get the most out of this stuff?
How do you build them? How do you get started with all this stuff? What can you set up? Let me guide you through that today by answering some of the latest questions inside the AI Profitable Boardroom.
Let's get into it. So we've got a question here, which is, you know, I'm new here and I'm building my agent operating system step by step. My goal is to create a working setup for managing projects, keeping memory and slowly connecting useful AI tools without getting overwhelmed. If you were starting again from the beginning, what would you focus on first?
So if I was starting from scratch again, I actually probably wouldn't use every single feature of this. Just focus on what works for you. So for example, if you only use Claude, only build the Claude CLI into your agent operating system. Otherwise, what you're going to find is that it basically grows too big.
So I'd simplify it more. That's one of the first things. And then also, I'd also say, look at what you're working on currently and then focus on that and automating that next. So whatever you spend a lot of time on, make sure that's the first task you automate.
Because a lot of the stuff inside an agent operating system, people build without actually using day to day. So you want to make sure it's all super relevant to you and personalize you. And then the final thing I would say is just make it your own. You know, like if you want to change your colors, your UI, if you want to, for example, add new features, make it your own.
Make it feel like yours, because the more you can personalize it to you, the more you're going to use it and the more useful it becomes. Next question from Rick. So Rick said, I've installed the AgentOS on VPS, signed up for News Portal, configured NAM Router, etc. But he's stuck on what to do next.
Is there a complete checklist or step by step guide that runs through the full installation, configuration, API connections, and final testing? So when you actually give the zip file to your agent to set it up, you can just ask it to install every part of the guide. So there's, for example, like 30 different modules inside the CLI section, and you can just run through those and make sure everything's configured. But also note that you don't need to install everything inside the AgentOS.
Just pick the things that are relevant to you. You can always delete or ignore features because otherwise you might spend a lot of time connecting and configuring stuff that you don't actually need. Kenneth says avoiding boredom. This is a good one, actually.
So I think a lot of people get into AI because it's like this shiny, fun object that seems really interesting. There's lots of cool stuff going on, and there's always a new project, which is amazing. But I know a lot of people are not productive, even though they use Cloud Code more than ever. And so I think it's OK to be bored.
Like if you're bored and productive, that's totally fine. Honestly, the people who are the most entertained usually get the least done because they're distracted by shiny objects. They're distracted by new tools. They're not focused on automating the most essential parts of their business.
So if you're bored, but you're getting stuff done, and you're making progress, that's the main thing. Well done. So we've got another question here from Sergio, who says, thanks for your amazing course in AgentOS. I've recently downloaded the AgentOS and was wondering if there were any scriptwriter analytics loops or social media content publishers, etc.
So inside there, we have the video agent that you can use. And the video agent is pretty good for social media content because it can generate video content for you across your platforms. For the actual publishing, I still get my team to post manually simply because it creates more accountability. And also, I know that some platforms don't like you to post with AI.
If they see that, they tend to cap down on it, and they tend to punish people for it. So the way that I do it is I get my team to use these automations. They'll create the content. They can move 10 times faster.
They can get way more done. But at the same time, they're still accountable to posting and keeping the quality high. And also, this avoids any problems that I see a lot of people have. Particularly, for example, on Twitter, I've seen people automate their Twitter.
Twitter doesn't like that. And then their account gets taken down. So we try to avoid doing stuff like that. So there's a video agent, and then there's also the SEO section.
So the SEO section can write blogs and content for you there. And then finally, we have Hermes and Hermes Oracle. Now, Hermes Oracle can find topics that are trending from Twitter. It pulls those in.
It gives you a new angle to create the content around. And then you can draft the social media content, or you can publish the content to WordPress. But either way, you can automate social media content using that too. So it basically takes in the latest news, and then you can click on draft this, and it drafts a piece of content for social media.
And also, you can publish to your website too, with the publish to WP option. It's pretty interesting. So Raj was talking about like an AI that can record and repeat repetitive skills. So I think you can do this with Claude.
And then you click on teach Claude. There's an option to teach Claude, and then you can run the task inside your browser, and it will teach Claude exactly how you do things by watching the screen and understanding how you do that. So you can teach Claude workflows using the Claude browser use extension. And Codex has a similar tool as well.
So we've got a question from Jay here, issues with paperclip. Some agents run, some agents don't. When I have these sort of issues, so one of the things that I find is like quite often, paperclip is a little bit buggy. I mean, it is an open source project, so that makes sense.
What you can do in those situations is I would just get Claude to fix it for you and orchestrate it for you. So what you can do is grab the paperclip GitHub details, plug that into Claude, screenshot and explain the issue you're having with paperclip, and then get Claude to debug it based on the documentation, the error you've given it. That's usually the way I reverse engineer and fix it. And that's pretty much it for the questions so far.
Now, if you're wondering, okay, what can an agent operating system do? Here's an example. So we've got Hermes Astros here. And basically what this is, is a version of Hermes agent we've custom created.
It can pull in and analyze certain keywords and keep an eye on them. We can then see history over time. So we can see previous days and what it analyzed. And then it will come up with new angles for that particular content.
So if you look at this one, for example, it analyzes the topic. Then it gives us the titles. And then from there, it gives us the angles. And we can plug that into our video agent, our SEO agent, or even into notebook LM.
And each one of these new topics, it gives us the same process, the same workflow. The other cool thing about this as well is that when we're looking at this, it organizes it in terms of what's trending the most. So it's reverse engineering. Okay, based on all of these topics, which one got the most attention?
And then how can we target that too? Now, on top of that, we also have Hermes Oracle. This can pull in the latest news from Twitter. And we can see what's trending.
We can draft SEO content for it. We can draft social media content for it. And we can see the original tweet too. And then additionally, we have the memory system here.
Now, the memory system basically analyzes what we've worked on recently. So our agents automatically update it. And then inside the knowledge graph here, we can plug this into our agents. So they have instant context.
And every agent shares the same memory. So they all know what we're working on as soon as we use them. Top of that, we have, for example, this new SEO office system. Basically, this is an office with our AI agents working together.
And so we can ask each one of these agents questions. We can speak to them directly. We've got an inbox with them. We can activate them as well, which is pretty cool.
And then we can also run a technical SEO audit as well at any time and visualize our agents inside the same office, which is pretty crazy. This was another open source project that we plugged into the system. So if you want to get all of this, feel free to get it inside the AI Profitable Boardroom if you want to get my setup. And also, with the AgentOS, you can ask questions inside the community, get help and support.
I answer them personally with a video tutorial like this every day. You get the video tutorial here. You can see the last update there. You can get the full zip file.
And we also add new tutorials based on what's actually useful, as you can see right here. So you get a video tutorial and a step-by-step guide on exactly how to use this stuff. Inside the community, you can ask questions, get help and support. That's where I personally answer all of the questions that were posted today.
And then you can also get four weekly coaching calls when you get help and support in real time. So feel free to get that link in the comments description or go to the AIProfitBoardroom.com. Thanks for watching.
