01What Hermes Agent OS Is and How It Works

Hermes Agent OS is a free AI agent operating system that lets you create and manage teams of AI agents. It uses free AI models to run agents that can build apps, generate content, and handle tasks for you.

You interact with the system through a web interface. In the episode, Julian Goldie shows how he uses a group chat to talk with AI agents. The agents work together like an autonomous company.

They can build software, create thumbnails, and even log memories automatically. The system is designed to get better over time as you give feedback to each agent.

02Main Features of Hermes Agent OS

The system includes several key tools that work together:

  • Agency Group Chat: chat with AI agents in real time to give instructions and get results.
  • Paperclip: an AI company with teams of agents that build and create things for free.
  • Hermes Jarvis: a voice-activated agent that builds apps, manages tasks, and remembers your work.
  • Ideas Factory: plug in an idea and it goes through multiple stages to turn it into something usable.
  • Thumbnail Generator: create YouTube thumbnails in one click, with automatic prompting improvement.
  • Memory Galaxy: an Obsidian vault where agents automatically log your work and conversations.
  • Notebook LM integration: generate videos, podcasts, infographics, and research reports from updates.

03How to Get Started with Hermes Agent OS

Julian Goldie explains how you can build the system yourself or get his ready-made version. To set it up, follow these steps:

  1. Visit the AI Profit Boardroom website at aiprofitboardroom.com.
  2. Go to the Agent OS section inside the classroom.
  3. Download the video tutorial and the zip file that contains the full system.
  4. Read the readme file that comes with the system.
  5. Let your agents quickly install the system using the instructions.
  6. Join the community to ask questions and get help from other members.
  7. Book coaching calls in the calendar to share your screen and get personal support.

04How to Use Hermes Agent OS in Practice

In the episode, Julian Goldie shows several examples of using the system. He starts by activating Hermes Jarvis with voice commands. He asks Jarvis to check what he worked on, open Google, and build a Japanese flashcard game.

While the game builds, he uses the thumbnail generator to create YouTube thumbnails. He uploads a previous thumbnail that worked well, and the system generates new ones.

He also demonstrates the Ideas Factory. He plugs in an idea, and the system takes it from stage one to stage four automatically. Each stage improves the output.

The memory galaxy logs everything automatically. Julian says he never writes notes; his AI agents write them for him. To see what agents built, he scrolls through the history and previews past projects like a meditation app and a galaxy visualisation.

05Results and Comparisons Shown in the Episode

Julian Goldie shares results from using the system. He says the thumbnail generator saves him and his team time every day. Normally, a thumbnail designer charges about $25 per thumbnail.

With the system, you create thumbnails in one click for free. He also notes that the voice agent Hermes Jarvis is the first useful voice agent he has seen. Most voice agents only have short conversations, like ChatGPT.

But Jarvis actually builds stuff and lets you see what you created before.

He compares building the system to a workflow that needs iteration. The first version did not work properly. The second version did not plan well.

After switching the model to minimax, it started creating good results. He says it may take 10, 20, or 30 versions before the system works well. You have to test, give feedback, and repeat.

06Tips, Limits and Mistakes to Avoid

Julian Goldie shares important advice from his experience. He warns that building the system takes hours of back-and-forth with Claude. You cannot just write a quick prompt and get results.

You must test, give feedback, and wait for each version. He says this is the main downside. But he adds that it is fun if you enjoy creating.

Another tip is to focus on practical tools, not shiny demos. The memory galaxy looks amazing in videos, but Julian says he does not use it every day. The thumbnail generator is more useful and saves real time.

He recommends picking one task that takes up your time and automating that first. For example, if you create SEO content, build an SEO workflow. Start with one thing per week and build from there.

07Who Should Use Hermes Agent OS and Why

Hermes Agent OS is for anyone who wants to use AI agents to automate tasks and build projects. Julian Goldie built it because he saw people using tools like Claude but not knowing how to use them effectively. The system is designed to be a system you build over time, not a set-and-forget workflow.

If you spend time creating thumbnails, writing content, or managing ideas, this system can save you hours each week. The community in the AI Profit Boardroom helps you get started and improve. Julian updates the system daily based on feedback from members.

Whether you are a creator, a marketer, or a developer, you can use Hermes Agent OS to turn ideas into finished work faster.
