01What the Hermes Agentic Operating System Is

Hermes agentic operating system is a unified platform where you can run multiple AI agents together in one place. Instead of jumping between different tools and tabs, you have everything in a single side panel. You can use Claude, Hermes, OpenCode, and other agents side by side.

This system makes it easy to automate tasks, create designs, edit videos, and build apps. It saves time and keeps your work organized. Julian Goldie explains that this is one of the most powerful tools you can build for your business if you want to get more customers, automate, and have fun.

02Main Features and New Additions

The Hermes agentic operating system includes several powerful features. Here are the main ones:

  • Open Design Motion — a free, open-source tool for editing and creating videos. It uses free APIs and produces creative designs.
  • OpenCode integration — gives you access to free models like NVIDIA Nematron 3.5 SuperVL, GLM 5.3 Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 3, and Big Pickle. You can keep building even if you run out of tokens on Claude.
  • Reverse Engineer Anything — paste a GitHub link and ask Hermes to reverse-engineer a site. It breaks down the code and rebuilds the whole page on localhost.
  • Video and social media automation — create, edit, and post videos to your platforms automatically. Julian Goldie used this to get 10x more views on Instagram.
  • Customizable UI — change the interface to match your brand colors or a client's brand.

03How to Set Up the Hermes Agentic OS

  1. Open the side panel in the agentic operating system.
  2. Go to the model section and choose local mode.
  3. Select free APIs like Hermes Agent, Anti-Gravity, or OpenCode to save tokens.
  4. Add Open Design Motion by installing it from the side panel.
  5. To add a new agent, paste the GitHub link and ask Hermes to reverse-engineer it.
  6. Hide or remove any agent you no longer use by clicking the hide option in the side panel.
  7. Customize the UI by going to the agent that set up the system and changing colors.

04How to Use It — Examples from the Episode

Julian Goldie shows several examples of using the Hermes agentic operating system. First, he uses Open Design Motion to create a 3D animated website with one prompt. He types "Design a website for this" and the system builds it instantly.

Second, he uses reverse engineer anything on his own portal. He copies the GitHub link, tells Hermes to reverse-engineer it, and then asks it to create the page on localhost. The system rebuilds the whole page automatically.

Third, he demonstrates the video automation system. The system creates a video, edits it, and posts it to social media. He shows the post got 10x the normal reach on Instagram — from 3,000 views to much higher.

05Results and Comparisons Shown

Julian Goldie compares the Hermes agentic operating system with other tools. He says Claude Motion is a paid feature of their SaaS, while Open Design Motion is free. The designs inside Open Design look better and are more creative than what he got from Claude.

He also compares the system to using GitHub directly. With GitHub, everything is scattered and you have to bookmark links. The agentic operating system keeps everything in one place, synced and easy to find.

The video automation system delivered real results: a post got 10x more views than normal reach. Normal reach was 3,000 views on Instagram, so the system helped get much more engagement.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

Julian Goldie says you don't need to panic when new AI models come out. You just go into the agent and change the model — no need to rebuild your system. Most people panic and waste time, but the system is designed to work with any model.

One limit he mentions: if you set up tools using GitHub alone, everything is scattered. You have to remember where each tool is. That's why an agentic operating system is better.

It keeps everything organized in one side panel.

Another tip: you can hide agents you don't use and add them back later. This keeps the interface clean. You can also search for features by typing keywords like "SEO" or "video" to find them instantly.

07Who It Is For and Why It Matters

Julian Goldie built the Hermes agentic operating system even though he is not a technical person and has never coded before. He started in April or May and improved it every day. This shows that anyone can build and use this system.

The system is for business owners who want to get more customers, automate tasks, and save time. It is also for people who want to have fun building with AI. Julian Goldie gives the system away to members of his AI Profit Boarding community.

Having everything in one place makes it easy to find, organize, and customize. You can add new agents as they come out without changing your workflows. This matters because AI changes fast, and you need a system that adapts with you.
