01What Is a Claude Agent OS Setup?

A claude agent os setup is a system you build with Claude (Claude Code) to manage all your AI agents in one place. It acts like a mission control dashboard where you can see what your agents do, plug in new features, and run everything from a central interface.

In this episode, Julian shows how he built his own agent OS using Claude, Hermes, and OpenClaude. He calls it an "agent operating system" because it organizes his agents into teams, divisions, and departments. It even includes a memory galaxy built with Obsidian to store ideas and instructions.

You don't need to code to build this. Julian says he can't code, and neither can some other people he mentions. You just tell Claude what you want, and it builds it for you.

02Main Features of the Agent OS

Julian's agent OS has several powerful features. You can build these with Claude by just asking for them.

  • Idea factory: Plug in an idea, and the system classifies it, makes a plan, and builds a website or tool for you.
  • Agent orchestration with Paperclip: Organize your agents as a team with different roles, like a CEO (Hermes) and other agent profiles.
  • Memory galaxy: A visual universe of your memories and ideas, built in Obsidian. Stars that burn brightest show your most recent work.
  • Dashboard control: See everything you've built, including apps from weeks or months ago, in one place.
  • Easy updates: When a new feature comes out, like Minimax or Jarvis, you add it to the dashboard with a button.
  • Flexible agent support: You can add or remove agents (like OpenClaude) without affecting the rest of your system.

Julian says the system makes you feel more in control. You can manage agents like a team but without the chaos of human workers.

03How to Set Up Your Agent OS

Setting up your own agent OS is simple. Julian explains his process, and he recommends starting small and building up over time.

  1. Open Claude (Claude Code) and start by giving it an idea for a mission control dashboard.
  2. Let Claude build the basic setup. On day one, Julian had just Claude and Hermes in his mission control.
  3. Add agents you want to manage, like Hermes or OpenClaude, and connect them to the dashboard.
  4. Create an ideas factory: tell Claude you want to plug in an idea and have it classify, plan, and build it.
  5. Set up a memory system using Obsidian. Ask Claude to turn your notes into a memory galaxy.
  6. Test everything. For example, ask Jarvis to open Google for you just to see if it works.
  7. Plan to spend 1-2 hours daily improving it. Write down ideas offline and build them when you're at your computer.

Julian says you don't need to be a coder. He didn't know how to code, but he built all of this by just telling Claude what he wanted.

04Using the Agent OS Step by Step

Julian shows how he uses his agent OS daily. Here's how it works in practice.

First, he plugs an idea into the idea factory. The system classifies the idea, shows a plan, and then implements it. He can see the full plan and even watch the agents work, like Claude flying across the screen.

He also uses the memory galaxy to see what he's worked on recently. The brightest stars show his most recent ideas, and each star contains detailed instructions that his agents can use. Julian didn't write any of those memories himself; his agents did it automatically.

For new tools, he just adds them to the dashboard. For example, when Minimax came out, he added a live chat for it. He can also generate videos, voices, and images from the studio section whenever he wants.

If he needs to update an agent, he goes to the manage section and clicks update. It's one click.

05Results and Comparisons from the Episode

Julian didn't run formal tests, but he shows real results from building his system. He built the idea factory, Paperclip, and the memory galaxy all in one day. He says the system compounds: day one was just Claude and Hermes, but now it's a full mission control.

He compares it to using Obsidian normally. Without his system, Obsidian is just a bunch of markdown files with a knowledge graph. With his agent OS, it's "1000 times cooler" and gives him a dopamine hit just looking at it.

He also mentions that other people have built similar systems. Nick built one, Ethan (age 61) built one with eight agents, and David built a virtual office that looks like a game. Ethan said he's not a coder but built his agent OS anyway.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

Julian shares some tips for building your own agent OS. Here's what he emphasizes:

  • Start simple. Don't try to build everything at once. Add features over time.
  • Ignore the noise. When new AI models come out (like Chat GPT 5.5 or DeepSeek), don't feel behind. Just plug them into your system if you want.
  • Don't build workflows around one agent that might disappear. Use a system that lets you swap agents without breaking anything.
  • You'll need to remind your agents sometimes, but not 50 times a month like you would with human team members.
  • Your only limits are time, energy, tokens, and ideas. You can always get more tokens, so don't worry about running out.
  • Spend an hour or two each day improving your system. Even when you're away from your computer, write down ideas to build later.

A big mistake is building a rigid workflow that depends on a specific agent. If that agent becomes outdated, you're stuck. Julian's system lets you delete or hide unused agents without affecting the rest.

07Who Should Build a Claude Agent OS

Julian believes anyone interested in AI can build a claude agent os setup. He says you're early—about three to five years ahead of the rest of the world. Even if you feel behind like he did with coding, this is new, so you're not late.

He gives the example of Ethan, who is 61 and not a coder. Ethan built his agent OS with eight agents, voice, and Obsidian installed. If Ethan can do it, so can you.

Why does it matter? Because it makes you more powerful. When a new AI update comes out, you don't feel overwhelmed.

You just plug it in. This is "anti-fragile"—you get better when things change, instead of falling behind.

It also helps you manage agents like a team, but without the headaches of human management. You're in control, and you can focus on building cool things instead of repeating yourself.

08Where to Get the Agent OS Setup

If you want Julian's exact claude agent os setup, he offers it inside the AI Profit Boardroom. You can find the link in the comments or go to AIProfitBoardroom.com.

Inside, you get the agent OS system with a zip file that's updated daily. There are video tutorials showing how to set it up and use it. There's also a community where people help each other.

Julian says there are often around 98 people online, even early in the morning.

You also get four weekly coaching calls where you can get real-time help. Julian personally answers questions in the community. He mentions that one member, Ali, asked about agent teams, and Julian said that feature is already built in.

It's a group of people who are excited about building with AI and want to learn together. Julian says it's fun, and everyone feels like they're part of something big.
