01What is Claude Agentic OS and How It Works

Claude Agentic OS is a custom agent operating system built by Julian Goldie using free Claude Code and free API models. It combines the harness of Claude Code with routing services like OmniRoute or 9Router to access over 90 free models. This lets you code, build, and run AI agents without paying for expensive API costs.

The system automatically switches between models if one goes down or rate-limits you. It also includes a workspace to save all your projects. You can view and revisit anything you build at any time.

This makes it easy to keep track of your work across multiple agents.

02Main Features of Claude Agentic OS

The OS includes several key agents and tools that work together in one dashboard.

  • Free AI Coder: Use free models to code and preview projects in real time.
  • Hermes Voice Activation: Say "Hey Hermes" to wake the agent and talk to it.
  • Hermes Apollo: A real-time voice agent that can control your computer and browser.
  • Hermes Oracle: Pulls trending news from Twitter and creates social content.
  • Hermes Astros: Analyzes competitors and keywords in your niche.
  • Lead Generation Tool: Sends outreach emails and manages campaigns.
  • Memory System: Uses free Obsidian to store notes and goals for agents.
  • Ideas Pipeline: Turns your ideas into built projects within minutes.

All agents are synced and can collaborate in a mastermind group. You can also set daily goals in Mission Control.

03How to Get Started with Claude Agentic OS

You can build this system yourself or get Julian's exact setup from the AI Profit Boardroom community. Here's how to get started.

  1. Get a zip file of the system from the AI Profit Boardroom (link in description).
  2. Install the zip file on your computer.
  3. Follow the full setup guide included with the system.
  4. Optional: Watch the video tutorial for a walkthrough.
  5. Connect your free API models like OmniRoute or 9Router.
  6. Load your notes and goals into the memory system using Obsidian.
  7. Start using agents like the Free AI Coder or Hermes.

You can also customize the system by asking AI agents to change colors, add or hide agents, and modify features.

04How to Use Claude Agentic OS in Practice

In this episode, Julian showed several examples of using the OS. First, you can use the Free AI Coder. You type or speak a request, the agent codes it, and you see a live preview on the right.

You can then save the project in the workspace.

For voice control, say "Hey Hermes" to activate the agent. Then ask questions or give commands, and the agent replies with its voice. Hermes Apollo can control your computer and browser by voice, allowing you to build things hands-free.

Hermes Oracle fetches trending news from Twitter and organizes it by trend. You can draft social posts or publish directly to WordPress.

Hermes Astros lets you change competitors and keywords to monitor in your niche. It pulls trending headlines so you can create content that matches your audience.

Use the Ideas Pipeline to submit an idea. The agent shapes it, you approve it, and it gets built automatically, saving the result to the gallery.

05Results and Comparisons from the Episode

Julian showed real examples of projects built with free models in Claude Agentic OS. He displayed landing pages that looked 'pretty nice' and 'pretty beautiful,' proving that free models can produce quality work.

He compared the OS to using Claude directly. In Claude, there is no workspace to see past projects. With the OS, everything is saved and viewable in a gallery, making it easier to track work.

The OS also solves common problems like token limits and rate limiting. By switching between multiple free APIs, you avoid interruptions. Julian tested Hermes voice activation and confirmed it worked.

He highlighted the memory system as a major advantage. Because it uses Obsidian, which is free and open source, agents have instant context without retraining.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

Julian offered several tips and warnings for users of Claude Agentic OS.

  • Switch models: Use OmniRoute or 9Router to avoid rate limits. If one free API blocks you, move to the next.
  • Use free tools: Obsidian memory is free, and free AI coders save token costs.
  • Customize: Ask AI agents to change the interface, colors, or features if you want.
  • Hide unused agents: If you don't need a tool like OpenClore, hide it to keep the dashboard clean.
  • Stay organized: The workspace and ideas pipeline help you avoid losing track of builds.

A common mistake is letting ideas sit without implementation. The ideas pipeline solves that by building projects quickly. Also, don't worry about rate limits because the system auto-switches.

07Who Claude Agentic OS Is For and Why It Matters

Claude Agentic OS is for anyone who wants to build AI agents without paying for expensive premium models. It's especially useful for developers, marketers, and creators who need multiple tools in one place.

Julian built it based on what his community asked for. He solved their complaints about token costs, rate limits, and missing workspaces. This OS gives you a complete system to manage ideas, content, leads, and coding tasks.

Because the OS is customizable and uses free tools, it lowers the barrier to AI adoption. You can train agents on your own goals and notes, making them more effective. This matters because it shows how to combine free resources into a powerful professional workflow.
