01What is a Hermes agent operating system?

Hermes agent operating system is a custom dashboard that connects AI agents like Hermes, Claude, Gemini, and Codex so they work together on your tasks. It includes SEO workflows, video agents, pipelines, app builders, and a memory system. You can see and preview everything you build in one gallery.

In this episode, Julian Goldie explains how to build and use this system to run your schedule, manage your business, and create content. The system is designed to be flexible. You can add new models, like GLM 5.2, as they come out.

Even if a model gets taken down, you just build better things into your OS.

02Main features of the agent OS

The Hermes agent operating system has several key features. First, a group chat lets your whole team of agents work together in one place. They can chat, critique each other, and bounce ideas off each other.

Second, a pipeline acts as an automated to-do list organized by your AI agents. Third, a memory system stores what the agents learn about you.

  • Full gallery of built apps and automations.
  • Video agents that create and edit AI avatar videos.
  • Kanban board for project management.
  • Ability to add new models like GLM 5.2 or Mini K2.7.
  • Automation for SEO content and video creation using teams of agents.

You can also build custom dashboards, like a lead generation tracker. The system is always updated with new tools and models.

03How to set up your agent OS

Setting up your own Hermes agent operating system is simple. Julian recommends starting small and adding one automation at a time. Here are the steps he shows in the episode:

  1. Get the full agent OS zip file, plan, and video tutorial from the AI Profit Boardroom.
  2. Install the system on your machine.
  3. Set up a to-do list first. You can build it as a dashboard, ask Hermes to make a custom list, or just keep it in the chat.
  4. Schedule a daily task, for example: 'Every day at 6am, recap my to-do list based on what you know about me.'
  5. Add one new automation every week, like social media or SEO workflows.
  6. Create separate sandbox areas, such as a separate Google Drive folder and a separate email inbox for your agents.

That way, you build 50 automations by the end of the year without getting overwhelmed.

04How to use the agent OS for your schedule

To run your schedule and business with Hermes, start with a simple to-do list. Julian shows three ways to do this. First, you can build a dashboard inside your agent OS.

Second, you can ask Hermes or Claude to build a custom to-do list. Third, you can keep it inside the chat as a scheduled task.

The chat method is the simplest. You just tell Hermes to recap your to-do list each day at 6am. It uses what it knows about you to make the list.

This takes about five minutes to set up. Later, you can add other automations, like emails, leads, and social media.

For a more advanced setup, use a pipeline organized by AI agents. This acts like a live to-do list that updates itself. You can also add a goal section, but Julian removed his because he did not use it daily.

The key is to simplify. The more you simplify, the more you will use it.

05Getting agents to work together in a group chat

One big problem is copying and pasting between Claude Code and Claude Chat. Julian shows a group chat inside the agent OS that fixes this. In one chat, you can have Claude, Hermes, Gemini, and Codex all working together.

They can talk to each other, critique each other's work, and bounce ideas.

For example, you ask Claude for a good SEO keyword research tool. Then you ask the group, 'What do you think, guys?' The agents give feedback, and finally, the best ideas get added to your pipeline for building. This keeps everything synchronized and avoids copy-paste.

It is also helpful for validating one model against another. You can test different AI responses in the same chat. This is a huge time saver and keeps your workflow smooth.

06Naming agents and subagents wisely

Many people ask if they should name their agents and subagents. Julian says yes, it helps with coordination. He shows two ways to do it.

First, name them by role, like 'Hemingway' for writing, 'Ada' for coding, or 'Drucker' for management. Second, name them by the API they use, like 'GLM 5.2' or 'Quen 3.7'.

This helps you understand what each agent is strong at. It also helps you stay organized when you have many profiles. For example, in the Paperclip team inside the agent OS, agents have names like 'Game Developer' or 'SEO Lead'.

You can also create separate agent profiles for different APIs. That way, you can easily bounce ideas between different models and keep track of which one you are using.

07Results and community wins with the agent OS

Julian shares several community wins. One member, Kyle, built a lead generation dashboard. It shows all stages of your pipeline and lets you customize each stage.

Another member, Amanda, set up an automation that posts to LinkedIn as an article. She runs it on free local models and made a full video tutorial.

Another member, Arnes, uses a tiny workflow to stop agents spiraling. He makes agents answer five lines before building: goal, current state, next action, and the exact question. This is similar to a technique from Kilo code.

They found that a 'pinned plan' made by a smart model, then implemented by cheaper models, gives the same results as an expensive model like Fable 5.

Julian also built a 3D open world game and an operating system with the agent OS. He added Fusion as another way to achieve high intelligence. The system keeps improving as new models come out.

08Tips, limits, and mistakes to avoid

Julian gives clear advice to avoid mistakes. First, do not try to automate everything at once. That leads to overwhelm and quitting.

Start with one automation, then add one per week. Second, do not plug your main Google Drive into the agent OS. Use a separate Drive and a separate email inbox.

That keeps your important files safe until you fully trust the setup.

  • Sandbox everything first. Give the agent limited access, then expand later.
  • Simplify your workflows. The simpler, the more you will use them.
  • Test with real data to see how analytics look, then tweak.
  • Judge new models yourself. Some, like Fable 5, may be taken down, so build with alternatives like Fusion.
  • Use a pinned plan to avoid vague plans and inconsistent outputs.

These tips help you build a reliable agent OS that stays under control.

09Who should build a Hermes agent OS?

This agent OS is for anyone who wants to run their business with AI agents. It helps you manage schedules, SEO, social media, and video content. It is also great for people who want to build custom automations without copying and pasting between tools.

Julian emphasizes that this is new territory. Everyone is learning together. Being in a community like the AI Profit Boardroom helps because you learn from many people, not just one person.

You get daily answers to your questions, coaching calls, and a 30-day roadmap.

If you want to build your own agent OS, you can get the full setup with the zip file, plan, and video tutorial. You also get private community access to ask questions and share your wins. This is the fastest way to get all your agents working together in one dashboard.
