01What AgentOS Is and How It Works
AgentOS is a full operating system for your AI agents. It connects Claude, OpenClaude, and Hermes into one local dashboard, so they can talk to each other and share context instead of working in separate tabs.
Without AgentOS, you might have Claude open in one tab and ChatGPT in another, with none of them remembering what you did yesterday. You end up copying and pasting, re-explaining yourself, and rebuilding context every time. That's not a system, that's a mess.
AgentOS fixes this by acting like an operating system for your AI tools. Just like iOS connects your maps, calendar, and weather apps, AgentOS connects your agents. One dashboard shows every agent, whether it's online, what it's doing, and how many sessions are running.
You can chat with any agent directly from that screen, with no switching windows.
The more you use AgentOS, the smarter it gets. Every conversation gets logged, and agents start working as a team that knows your business. Julian Goldie built this entire system in a single Claude session in about one hour, without writing a single line of code.
02Main Features of AgentOS
AgentOS has a mission control dashboard at the top. It shows every agent, whether it's live, what it's doing, and how many sessions are running. Claude, Hermes, and OpenClaude all appear here, with OpenClaude acting as your agent gateway that routes tasks between everything.
You can click any agent to open its full control room. This gives you a complete interface with the agent's model, provider, previous session history, skills, and plugins, all in one place. No separate tabs, no switching windows.
- Kanban board: Tasks you create in chat go into the board automatically with Hermes, so you don't move things manually.
- Analytics: See sessions, tool calls, tokens used, which models you hit most, peak activity hours, and your most productive days.
- Local storage: Your data stays on your machine. No round trips to a server, and no sharing business context with a cloud you don't control. It's faster, more private, and more reliable.
These features turn a generic chatbot setup into a coordinated system. The analytics alone can show you that you've been running blind without them, and the local storage means your business data never leaves your computer.
03How to Set Up AgentOS Step by Step
Building AgentOS is designed to be simple. Julian built the whole thing in one hour using plain language inside Claude desktop, and he says if you can text a friend, you can build this. Here's the exact starting process:
- Open Claude desktop and create a new chat.
- Type: "Build me a beautiful local operating system dashboard for managing Claude, OpenClaude, and Hermes. Include a mission control view, agent status, direct chat, etc."
- Let Claude ask questions and answer them in plain language. It will build the whole thing without you writing code.
- While that runs, download Obsidian and start building your vault. Create a file called aboutme.md.
- Write down your name, your business, your goals, the next 90 days, your team, and your main bottlenecks in that file.
- Download OMI and set it up, then start exporting notes to Obsidian every day.
That's the full stack. Claude handles thinking, OpenClaude handles execution, Hermes handles research, and Obsidian is your memory. All of it comes together in one dashboard that you operate with clicks, not code.
You can also get a full 30-day roadmap and pre-made prompts from Julian's AI Profit Boardroom if you want a faster setup.
04How to Use AgentOS with Real Examples
Once AgentOS is running, you use it like a phone. You see the agents, click the one you want, and start working. All the technical complexity stays hidden underneath.
Julian showed exactly how this works in practice.
One example is asking Hermes, based on everything in your Obsidian vault, what to automate today. The agent pulls in all your context, like your goals, team, active clients, and current bottlenecks, and comes back with specific, actionable suggestions. No generic advice like "automate your email follow-ups." Instead, it says, based on your agency and your current client onboarding process, here's what to automate, what tools to use, and the order to do it.
Another example is running tasks in the background. You can tell Hermes to go build something out, and it works while you do something else. The next day, you check the dashboard, see everything is healthy, and review the outputs.
- Ask OpenClaude to route tasks between agents based on your monthly priorities.
- Use Claude to plan content, knowing your brand voice, audience, and past campaigns.
- Check OMI's auto-created tasks, which link to your existing notes and pull from your daily work.
You set the direction, and the agents do the work. You become the operator, not the worker.
05Results and Tests from the Episode
Julian showed real results from running AgentOS for about a month. His Obsidian vault has over 1,200 memories stored, with 1,300 notes total. It tracks everything, even trips to Japan and people in his life.
The memory layer changes how agents perform. When Julian asks Hermes for automation ideas, it pulls from all his context and returns specific suggestions he actually uses. It's like a junior operator who has read every note he's ever written.
He also compared the system to a calculator versus a system. A calculator just answers questions, but a system builds on itself. AgentOS compounds every day, with each session adding to the memory.
That's a gap between people getting real results from AI and people still playing around with it.
One key test was the OMI integration. It records Julian's screen and microphone, takes notes automatically, creates tasks from daily work, and links those tasks to existing notes. It all runs in the background while he does actual work, so agents already know what he did yesterday without asking.
06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid
The biggest mistake most people make is skipping the memory layer. Julian says this is the part most people ignore, but it's the most powerful. Without it, agents don't remember what you worked on yesterday, and you hit a ceiling.
Another common objection is that this sounds complicated. Julian addresses this directly. The dashboard is built to work like a phone.
You click an agent, you open it, you work. Your job is to be the operator, not the engineer, and he built the whole thing in one session with no code.
Some people say they already use Claude and that's enough. Julian's warning is that typing a message in Claude desktop is a tool, not a system. A tool starts fresh every time, but AgentOS builds on itself and compounds.
- Start your vault early: You can't fast-forward context. Starting today gives you a six-month head start over everyone else.
- Set OMI permissions you're comfortable with: You don't have to record like Julian does. Control what you allow.
- Don't watch it 24-7: Let agents run while you sleep and check results in the morning.
The key is to start building context now, not wait for the perfect setup.
07Who AgentOS Is For and Why It Matters
AgentOS is for anyone who uses AI for real work and wants to stop starting from scratch every time. It's especially valuable for business operators who manage teams, clients, and projects, because it gives agents full context about your business.
Julian explains that this matters because we're heading into a world where every serious business operator will have a system like this running. Not just using AI when needed, but running AI as infrastructure for how the business operates every day.
The people who build this now, who build the memory and connect the agents, will have a 6-to-12-month head start. You can't fast-forward context; you just have to start.
There are already over 3,000 members in Julian's AI Profit Boardroom building with these systems. Most of them are running multi-agent setups and automating real work daily. The gap between someone using AI and someone running an AI operating system is about to get very large, and AgentOS is the way to stay ahead.
08The Four Layers of the Goldie Mission Stack
Julian breaks AgentOS into four layers called the Goldie Mission Stack. Each one has a specific job, and together they form the complete system.
The first layer is the intelligence layer, which is Claude. Claude sits at the top as the thinking engine. It has full tool access, MCPs connected, and can write and run code, analyze documents, and plan strategies.
Its status shows live on the dashboard.
The second layer is the execution layer, which is OpenClaude. Think of it as a router for your agents. Just like your iPhone, laptop, and TV connect to the internet through a router, all your agents pass through OpenClaude.
It routes tasks, manages sessions, and handles multi-agent coordination.
- Layer three, research: Hermes Agent runs deep tool calls, implements workflows, and uses skills to pull data from multiple sources. It's free to run with open-source APIs.
- Layer four, self: The Obsidian Vault stores your goals, projects, team, clients, and notes as a web of connected information.
The self layer compounds everything. New models come out every few weeks, but your knowledge base just gets richer over time. That's what makes the whole system more powerful than any single tool.
