01What Is Agent OS with Hermes?

Agent OS with Hermes is an add-on that brings your existing Hermes agent setup into a new operating system, making it better and more beautiful. It does not replace or break your local Hermes installation. Instead, it builds on it, pulling in all your existing profiles and workflows.

In this episode, Julian Goldie explains how Agent OS works as an upgrade to Hermes. You can use it to integrate everything you have in Hermes, like custom workflows and agent profiles, into one sleek interface. The key is that Agent OS respects your current setup and only adds to it, not replaces it.

02Main Features of Agent OS Integration

Agent OS offers several powerful features that make it a great addition to Hermes. Here are the main ones from the episode:

  • No clash with existing setups: Agent OS does not touch your local Hermes installation.
  • Profile dropdown: Use all your Hermes profiles as a dropdown menu inside Agent OS.
  • Workflow transfer: All custom workflows, like Hermes Oracle and Hermes Muse, move over seamlessly.
  • Better visuals: Agent OS makes workflows look more beautiful than using Hermes directly.
  • Customization: You can build and customize workflows further once they're in Agent OS.

These features show how Agent OS enhances what you already have, rather than starting from scratch.

03How to Set Up Agent OS with Hermes

Setting up Agent OS with your existing Hermes setup is straightforward. Julian Goldie gives a clear process in the episode. Follow these steps:

  1. Keep a backup of your Hermes setup just in case.
  2. Choose an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Claude to help you set up Agent OS.
  3. Set clear guardrails—tell the assistant not to touch or edit your existing Hermes setup.
  4. Instruct the assistant to plug everything from Hermes into Agent OS.
  5. Once the setup is done, check that all your profiles and workflows appear correctly.
  6. Start building and customizing your workflows in Agent OS as you get comfortable.

Julian emphasizes the importance of clear boundaries. Saying 'don't touch my existing setup' ensures your local Hermes remains safe.

04How to Use Agent OS with Your Hermes Profiles

Once Agent OS is set up, using it is easy. You can access all your Hermes profiles through a dropdown menu. This means you can switch between different systems, like GPT 5.6 or GPT 6.0, without any hassle.

In the episode, Julian shows that all custom workflows, such as the voice agent, Hermes Oracle, and Hermes Muse, are built into Agent OS. They look great and work just as well as they did in Hermes, if not better. You can also ask your agent to make improvements, like creating more beautiful workflows, once everything is transferred.

Julian notes that you can use Agent OS to make your Hermes experience even better. By customizing workflows, you get a more polished and enjoyable interface.

05Results and Benefits Shown in the Episode

Julian Goldie shares his own experience with integrating Agent OS. He says he integrated everything from Hermes directly into Agent OS and then made it better than his existing setup. This means you can expect a seamless transition that improves your workflows.

The episode highlights that all profiles and workflows translate directly from Hermes to Agent OS. None of them are impacted negatively. Julian also mentions that the visual quality is better—workflows look beautiful and are more enjoyable to use.

Overall, the results show that Agent OS is a valuable upgrade for anyone using Hermes. It enhances your existing setup, making it more attractive and functional without losing any of the original benefits.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

Julian Goldie shares several important tips for a successful integration. First, always keep a backup of your Hermes setup before you start. This protects you from any unexpected issues.

Second, set clear guardrails. Tell your AI assistant not to touch or edit your existing Hermes setup. This prevents any accidental changes to your local files.

Third, avoid trying to integrate everything at once if you're not comfortable. Start by plugging in what you have, then customize gradually. Julian also warns that you should not assume Agent OS will clash with Hermes—it won't.

It's an add-on, not a replacement.

Remember, almost any mistake can be avoided by following these simple steps.

07Who Should Use Agent OS with Hermes

Agent OS with Hermes is perfect for anyone who already uses Hermes and wants a more polished, integrated experience. Julian Goldie recommends it for users who have multiple profiles and workflows and want to manage them more easily.

It's also great for those who want to leverage AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude to streamline their setup. If you value beautiful interfaces and customization, Agent OS is for you.

In the episode, Julian encourages viewers to join the Aeroprofit boardroom for access to the agentic operating system, courses, and community support. This makes it easy to get started and get help when needed.
