01What Is Agent OS and How Does It Work?

Agent OS is a place where you can plug all of your AI agents into one spot and have everything one click away. It lets you build custom workflows for any AI automation task you can think of.

Think of it as a control center. You add your agents, like Hermes or open-source models, and then create workflows that chain them together. For example, Julian has a voice agent with Hermes Apollo, Hermes Oracle, and Hermes Astros.

He also built an email outreach tool that generates leads, sends emails, and manages his inbox using Hermes.

The system is designed to save time and make complex AI setups simple. Even if you are not technical, you can use it. Julian says he doesn't code or understand HTML, but he can build a full system like this.

02Key Features of Agent OS

Agent OS has several standout features that make it powerful. Here are the main ones from this episode:

  • OmniRoot free coding: OmniRoot is an open-source project that lets you code for free. It runs through about 90 free providers, so you don't run out of tokens. You can keep coding without paying.
  • Memory system: Agent OS includes a built-in memory system so your agents can remember context and past interactions.
  • Custom workflows: You can design workflows from scratch, like the email outreach tool or the Hermes Astros competitive research system.
  • Mixture of agents: Access tools like Hermes mixture of agents, Fusion, and Sakana Fugu to get similar performance to big models like Fable 5.
  • Integration with APIs: Use APIs from Shopify, Amazon, or Google Workspace to connect your agents to real-world platforms.

These features let you automate tasks that normally take hours of manual work.

03How to Set Up Agent OS

Setting up Agent OS is straightforward, even if you're not technical. Julian shared the steps to get started, especially with OmniRoot:

  1. Get the zip file: When you join the AI Profit Boarding community, you receive the Agent OS zip file. It's inside the install folder, specifically in section number 28.
  2. Or use GitHub: You can also go directly to the OmniRoot GitHub page and install it from there.
  3. Install OmniRoot: Follow the install instructions to add the free coding tool to your Agent OS.
  4. Add your agents: Plug in the agents you want to use, like Hermes or open-source models like Tencent's HY3.
  5. Build workflows: Create custom workflows to automate tasks that are useful for you.

Julian updates Agent OS daily, so you always get the latest resources and tools.

04How to Use Agent OS: Practical Examples

In this episode, Julian walks through several real-world uses for Agent OS. One example is automating Shopify to Amazon listings. He suggests using Shopify's CLI for editing product posts and the Amazon seller API for publishing.

You give both APIs to your agents and describe what you want. The agents can then auto-post products for you.

Another example is converting a Shopify store to WordPress. Use the Shopify CLI to get the code, then ask Claude or the CLI to rewrite it and export it to WordPress. Agents can handle the 80% of the work, so you don't have to do it manually.

For content ideas, Hermes Astros monitors competitor keywords using Google Workspace API. It recommends angles and unique titles. Then you can plug those ideas into your video agent, Notebook LEM, or SEO content workflow.

You can also use mixture of agents for similar performance to Fable 5 without special prompts. Just describe what you want, and the system handles the rest.

05Results and Comparisons from the Episode

Julian tested Tencent's HY3 as a new coder inside Agent OS and set up benchmark scores on GoldieBench. He says it's okay but not as good as GLM 5.2. Even when coding, HY3 felt buggy.

He recommends GLM 5.2 if you have a choice between open source models.

For Fable 5-like performance, Fusion, Sakana Fugu, and mixture of agents can achieve similar benchmarks. You don't need special prompts because these models understand plain descriptions.

Julian also shared his client-getting formula. When he started, he sent 10 to 20 proposals per day on Upwork to get one client daily. Once he figured out that number, he stuck to the formula and grew it.

NVIDIA's NemoClaw isn't widely used, but Hostinger VPS is a common alternative. People sandbox their VPS with Hermes or OpenClaw, and some even use Agent OS on a VPS.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

Agent OS is powerful, but there are some limits and mistakes to avoid. Julian warns that you should be careful when installing skills. For example, the Open Carousel skill looks useful for creating Instagram-style content, but you should check the skill.md file first.

Run it through Claude to verify it's legit before installing.

Don't expect special prompts to make a difference. Models like Fable 5 or mixture of agents don't need fancy prompts. Just describe what you want.

Know the limits of tools. Fable 5 was expiring from the subscription, so if you want to keep using it with Claude, you'll have to pay. Look for free alternatives like OmniRoot for coding.

When getting clients, don't guess. Treat it like a formula. Track how many emails, calls, or outbound messages you need to send to get one client.

Adjust the formula based on results.

07Who Should Use Agent OS and Why It Matters

Agent OS is for anyone who wants to save time and get more done with AI automation. If you're a complete beginner, you can still set it up because you don't need to code. Julian himself is not technical, yet he built a full system with workflows for email outreach, competitive research, and content creation.

Why does it matter? Because it puts everything in one place. You don't have to juggle multiple tools or learn complex coding.

You can plug free models like OmniRoot and get results similar to paid systems.

It also helps you scale. Once you figure out your formula for getting clients or automating tasks, you can grow that system. Whether you're a freelancer, marketer, or business owner, Agent OS gives you a practical way to use AI to grow.
