Hermes Agent V0.15 Just Changed AI Agents Forever!

Ermes Agent v0.15 update just dropped and it's a massive free update and it just became the fastest, most powerful AI agent you can run today. They just made your agent dramatically faster, we're talking about launching in under a second, handling way more work, running whole teams of agents all at once as well in different jobs. That's actually something called the new Agent Swarms feature and I'll show you exactly how it works later in this video and there's something else in this update that I want to show you and it's a one command setup that builds your entire agent team automatically, which I'll show you later in this video. Stick with me to the end and I'll show you exactly how to get the most out of this update step by step.

Let's get into it. So this is the announcement just dropped a few hours ago. It's being named as the Velocity release as it's focused on speed here and you can see we've already updated to the new version. If you want to update, just go to your terminal and type Hermes update and it will pull in the latest version of Hermes and there's six big improvements to this.

Number one is it actually starts way faster now. So that means less waiting every single time. Basically what they actually did is shrank the code, which was an enormous file before it was 16,000 lines. They shrank it by 76% and tidied it up into neat small pieces.

So they basically trimmed it all up so that you get a much lighter, faster machine with your AI agent. You don't need to wait as long for it to load up and it's more useful because it's way faster. So there's been a big refactor on this. The next big update is that the Kanban grew into a real multi-agent platform.

What does that mean? Basically you can give it one task and have a whole team of AI agents working together to complete that task. So you can give your team a big job, it splits up and the team gets on with it. Let me show you an example of that in reality.

So if we go to the Kanban here, for example, we can drop in a task here, it will be triaged and then moved across the Kanban board and organized beautifully. So for example, if we say, create five blog posts for the AirPopper board and targeting keywords like best AI community, and then we can give it more context here so we can say make sure it's beautiful plus SEO optimized, et cetera. And then we can assign it to one of our Hermes profiles. And bear in mind, we've got a team of like 13 different profiles.

And so what's going to happen here is as soon as we click add, it's going to triage your task and then that will be split into multiple subtasks underneath. So you see how that's in triage now. Basically what Hermes is going to do is triage that and move it across the board. And then once it's actually completed, the main task will get something like this, where you see the little tasks are done.

So it gives subtasks to the agents and they complete it. So for example, if we have a look here, that is triaging the task, it created a new to do task and that will run through our Kanban board to be completed. And you see we've got 16 profiles. We can also check through our team here and we can work through each task.

Now what's actually cool about this is you could say, okay, use a sub-agent or like a cheaper API for the smaller tasks. And basically what you get is a to do board that runs a whole team of AI agents. And why it matters is because big projects used to be quite slow because one agent did everything in a line. Now everything happens in parallel and you can give it one instruction and a whole team handles it, which again makes all of this process faster to get stuff done.

And you can see now in the to do list, you see how that's been broken down into subtasks. So you can see we've got sub-agents inside the task and then we have the main task itself. We can see who it's assigned to. We can assign it to someone else if we want to.

We can comment on it. It just makes everything easier to manage. Now, this is actually something that I've built inside my agentic operating system. And the cool thing about this is that we can switch between the Kanban and Hermes chat itself.

And also whilst I'm going off and doing other stuff, this is being completed in the background, which is really powerful. And you can see if we go to the running section, we can see the agent swarm working in parallel. So four different tasks in parallel. It's actually created a custom description for the task.

Once the task is completed, we'll see the workspace completed and we'll see who's worked on the job. And then also if I need an update or if I need to steer my agents in a different way, I can just post a comment here and then guide them in the right way. Right. Really easy and powerful to use.

So we've talked about the big refactor. We've talked about the Kanban board. By the way, if you want my agent operating system where you can easily visualize this stuff and manage Hermes agent in one place, you can track everything that you've created previously. And we've even built out a beautiful studio for images, videos and text to speech for Hermes agent.

You can get that inside the AI Profitable Boarding link in the comments description or just go to the AI Profitable Boarding dot com. Now, you can also search your old chats. This is a lot easier to do now. So if you had like a great conversation with your Hermes agent or you're trying to find some context from last week, well, searching past chats is now four thousand five hundred times faster and free to do.

Right. So what took half a minute now takes a split second. In reality, probably a little bit slower than that, but according to the changelog, that's what you should get. And so basically what we got is a rebuilt search that's instant.

Why it matters is because obviously you've got a lot of context and you don't want to lose your most useful conversations. And this actually doesn't use an LLM to do it. So you've got session search, but it's not using an API call to do this. Right.

Previously it was. And it's four thousand five hundred times faster, as I mentioned. So discovery is 20 milliseconds instead of 90 seconds, which means searching through past sessions is way faster. It's also safer now, too.

So it blocks any attacks like trying to trick your AI agent, for example, like prompt injection. And what we actually got is a guard that spots and blocks stuff like that. Right. It's called the Bit Warden Secrets Manager.

And that just helps keep everything more secure inside Hermes. This also links to that, which is you have one vault and this is kept inside Bit Warden. So basically Hermes grabs what it needs when it starts. And if you change anything inside the vault, it updates everywhere as well.

Right. So you get one secure vault instead of your keys scattered in a plain text file. Obviously, nobody wants all the API keys inside a plain text. And so you don't need to worry as much about this stuff.

Now, you can also get a push notification from Hermes on your phone or to your watch or to your computer the second a job finishes. So this is a simple way to get pinged when something gets done, which means that you shouldn't have to wait, sit and watch the screen just waiting for your task to be done. And also you can set it going, walk away, live your life and it taps you on the shoulder once it's ready. This is the notification update.

And the final big one is the skill system. This got a lot of updates for skill bundles, which means you can load multiple skills in one. So, for example, we actually installed the browser catalog from browser.sh and browser-based CLI. And so what that means, essentially, is we've loaded in a full bundle of skills for browser use agents with Hermes.

Right. And you can see them right there in the chat. And so you can group your skills into bundles and switch them all on at once. Why does that matter?

It just saves you time. Right. And now you can set up loads of skills in one single prompt and you can get everything set up, ready to go. So just to recap, it's faster to start, faster to find stuff, faster to get work done, safer.

You get better notifications once a task has been completed with Hermes agent. And also it grows with you, with that whole skills bundle as well. And also, these are all things that are focused on saving you time. It doesn't really require more work from you as well, which is great.

And if you want to update, you just use Hermes update. Again, we've already got it inside the agent operating system. We've got mock goal mode built into there, the full workspace where you can preview everything that you've built previously. We've got the MCP set up that they just launched yesterday, a full control room for managing it.

All of our other AI agents built into agent operating system, including anti-gravity CLI, Hermes, Claude, free Claude code, codex. And then also you can see here we've built out a full SEO tool, a video agent, and the Kanban board into the agent operating system as well. If you want to get that, link in the comments description or go to the AIprofitable.com. Inside the classroom, you can get the full agent operating system with the zip files, the last update dates so you know it's new, and then also a video tutorial on how to use it.

You can post questions inside the community and I actually come back to you with video tutorials and a breakdown step-by-step. You can jump on four weekly coaching calls to get help and support in real time. You can meet lots of awesome people building with AI automations in your local area as well. And also we do new daily updates on Hermes agent.

For example, Hermes browser agents, Hermes agent SEO, how to build a full marketing team with Hermes. We do new daily tutorials with 30-day roadmaps, 100 prompts, and a tutorial on exactly how to use it. So feel free to get all of this.
