01What Is Hermes Jarvis Agent?
Hermes Jarvis agent is a voice-controlled AI assistant that can wake, show, and create on your screen. You talk to it, and it does things like build apps, open websites, and answer questions aloud. It's not just a chatbot; it takes actions, not just describes them.
In this episode, Julian demonstrates how the agent works with a simple Japanese learning game, opening Bing, and building a full SEO website. The agent listens for a wake word, shows visual results, and creates working apps. It's designed to be hands-free, always on, and ready when you are.
The core idea is that you control it with three words: wake, show, and create. This gives you total control over the system without needing to type or click around.
02Key Features of Hermes Jarvis
Wake word control lets you say its name, like 'Hermes,' to activate it. You can toggle this on or off and even switch the voice. It's not always recording; it only listens for that single word.
- Show: Ask it to display information, like 'show me the numbers' and it creates a glowing chart.
- Create: Say 'build me a star field' and it generates a working app or visual on screen.
- Retrieve documents: It can search and find files for you.
- Wall mode: Put it full screen for a mission-control feel.
- Agent and auto modes: Switch to agent mode for complex tasks.
- Runs on Windows or Mac, and on free and local models.
The agent boots up and briefs you with live numbers from your workspace, like the time and project count. It's ready to go without any complex setup.
03How to Get Started with Hermes Jarvis
To start using the Hermes Jarvis agent, Julian explains you can build it alone or get it inside the AI Profitable Boardroom. Here are the steps to get it running:
- Get the Agent Operating System from the AI Profitable Boardroom (visit AI Profitable Boardroom dot com).
- Open the dashboard and find the Hermes agent tab.
- Allow the agent to access your microphone for voice commands.
- Enable the wake word toggle if you want hands-free activation.
- Choose your preferred voice settings.
- Switch to agent mode for more complex tasks when needed.
- Start talking to it using commands like 'wake,' 'show,' or 'build.'
The agent works on both Windows and Mac. It also runs on free and local models, so you don't need to pay for cloud services.
04How to Use Hermes Jarvis in Daily Tasks
Julian shows several examples of using the Hermes Jarvis agent in action. You can ask it to teach you Japanese, and it will respond with phrases and explanations. You can also request it to open a website like Bing, and it does it instantly.
For building, you can say 'build an SEO website' and it creates a working site that you can preview full screen. You can even ask it to create a colorful star field, and it generates it on the spot.
To retrieve data, say 'show me the latest numbers for SEO' and it pulls up the info and visualizes it as a chart. You can also click the mic button to speak, or type your command directly. The transcript of your conversation appears on screen for reference.
The agent is always on, so switching tabs and coming back still leaves it ready. You can also use wall mode to keep it as a background HUD.
05Results and Comparisons in the Episode
Julian compares the Hermes Jarvis agent to traditional voice assistants like ChatGPT's voice mode. The old way required typing prompts into a chat box, dealing with multiple tabs, and reading long text. The new way is hands-free, answers aloud in seconds, and performs actions, not just descriptions.
He shows the agent retrieving actual documents and creating a grid of builds, which he didn't know was possible. He also notes that the first version of the system was not nearly as good; it improves daily.
The agent boots up and says, 'All systems online, 40 builds in your workshop, and it's 1733.' This proves it works in real time and can brief you on workspace activity. It runs on free and local models, ensuring privacy and cost-efficiency.
06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid
One key tip is to use the wake word toggle to avoid constant recording. Turn it off when you don't want the agent listening. This keeps your privacy intact.
- Use agent mode for complex tasks; auto mode may not handle them well.
- Make sure you're in a quiet environment for voice recognition to work best.
- Don't expect it to work without the Agent Operating System; it's integrated into that dashboard.
- If you want it on a TV screen, wall mode is perfect, but ensure the volume is up to hear responses.
A common mistake is thinking you need a lot of setup. Actually, it boots up ready to go. Another is forgetting that it's not always recording, so you need to use the wake word or click the mic to speak.
07Who Should Use Hermes Jarvis and Why
The Hermes Jarvis agent is for anyone who wants a hands-free AI assistant that actually does stuff. If you're tired of typing prompts and juggling tabs, this system is a time-saver. Julian shows that it works on Windows and Mac, and you can even run it on free models.
It's especially useful for creators, builders, and business owners who want to turn ideas into apps quickly. You can literally say 'build me a flashcard game' and it appears. That's a huge leap from traditional voice assistants that only talk.
Having your own mission control with wall mode turns any space into a futuristic work environment. Plus, everything you do is saved in a memory galaxy, so your work is organized and accessible.
In short, this agent bridges the gap between talking and doing, making it a valuable tool for daily tasks and advanced projects.
08Integration with the Agent Operating System
The Hermes Jarvis agent is part of a larger system called the Agent Operating System. This system combines tools like Claude, OpenClaude, and Hermes into one place with shared memory. Julian explains that you also get a studio with the Hermes agent, a workspace, and a dashboard to manage everything.
You can drop an idea, and the agent will go off and build it, which you can preview. There's also a paperclip system to orchestrate agents across different teams and profiles, like Goldie Labs and Goldie Agency.
The memory system is visualized as a galaxy, making it easy to see all your notes and projects. Everything you do is saved and ready to access. This integration makes the agent not just a separate tool but a core part of a productivity ecosystem.
