Hermes Jarvis Just Changed AI Forever...

Full transcript

Open up... Google. Opening Google now, sir. Tell me a joke.

Very well. Why did the computer go to the doctor? Because it had a virus. That's not very funny.

Give me a funnier one. As you wish, sir. How about this? Why don't scientists trust atoms?

Because they make up everything. Tell me some words in Chinese. Certainly, sir. Stop, stop, stop.

Actually, could you start speaking Swahili with me? Certainly, sir. Let's switch to Swahili. Could you open up Obsidian?

Obsidian is now open, sir. Good afternoon, sir. Nine open items and nine notes in motion, sir. First up, Vault LLM wiki restructure.

Finalize atomic note layer. In the news, 60% of US consumers say AI and brand messaging is a turn-off. Alright, nice, nice. One sec, I'm going to send you something in the chat, okay?

Understood. Sir, I'll be ready to take a look once you send it. Can you see that? I've opened JulianGoldie.com for- Indeed, sir.

I can see the website layout on your screen. Everything appears to be loading smoothly. So I'm going to switch it off, but that's basically Hermes Jarvis, which is blowing my mind. This is a voice-activated version of Hermes that we've built, and it responds in real time.

It's fully working. It seems to work really well. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't have access to Obsidian in real time, which is something I'm actually building on it, so I just want to be 100% transparent with you, but it can do daily briefings like you can see. It knows the date, it knows what's open, what we've worked on recently.

All of these are different memories inside our Obsidian vault. It actually links directly to my memory folder, and also what you can see here is that it has a list of what's on my mind, recent headlines in the news, which is pretty cool, and it actually stores these as history. So if we go to the history, we can see our previous briefings here. We can click on them.

We can view previous briefings over the last few weeks, and we can see our history. Now, not just that, but if we actually scroll down here, you can see our conversation history, and then if we actually scroll to this section, you can see everything that we've built with Hermes inside the voice mode, whereas it's even built, for example, like a meditation app and all sorts of cool stuff. So my point here is this is a real-time voice-activated version of Hermes, and what we can do is we can actually have a wake word, or we can set it up in real time. Now, the way that I've built this is basically by iterating, honestly, for weeks at this point, just little bits at a time.

If you watch my live streams on my other channel, you might have seen this, where I would say about four hours a day, I would improve something on the AgentOS system here, and this morning, it was actually the Hermes Jarvis version of this. Now, what we've also got is this section where we can do weekly briefings. We can switch the voice as well, so we can actually change between all the voices that we have. One thing that I actually learned from this, if you want to build something like this yourself, is that you want to make sure you have ChatGPT real-time as the API.

We had 11 labs before. It was way too slow. It sounded better, but it was too slow to actually use. And the other thing that blows my mind is we can send links inside the chat, and Jarvis can read them and then come back to us.

Plus, we have wall mode, where we can basically have this real-time separate monitor, voice-activated, ready to go whenever we need it. So it's very, very fast, very responsive, responds literally instantly, opens stuff up literally instantly. I don't know how it's been created this well, but basically what I've been doing is using Claude and Claude Desktop, as you can see right here, and just going back and forth with it until we actually build something nice. And we've been going back and forth for weeks, as you see.

If you look at the history here, it's like it goes on forever, because it takes so much iteration. But I do want to show you this just to inspire you, because I think it's fantastic what we've built. And we used to have this talk section here, but I think I'm actually going to get rid of it, because now Hermes Jarvis totally replaces it. And if I have a choice between going to Hermes Jarvis or going inside the chat, for sure I'm going to go directly to Hermes Jarvis these days, because it's just easier to use, easier to manage, easier to organize.

And the other cool thing about this, you could set this up with anything. It doesn't have to be Hermes. It could be Claude that you speak to. It could be OpenClaude.

It could be Gemini. But I just want to show you that you can actually build something useful with Hermes. It's not just like a gimmick. It's like a genuinely useful voice agent that is getting closer and closer to something that I actually really love.

Now, this is a guide that I actually made a week ago on the power of this stuff and how it works. But basically, the way this works, you've got Jarvis in the middle, Hermes Jarvis, which is Hermes agent, open source project, but voice activated. And so it's got the brief. It can read your day or your week to you.

You can actually say, show me, and it'll pull up on the screen. So, for example, we go over here. Show me the numbers. Certainly.

Sir, the numbers are now displayed on your screen. Show me. Very well. Let's bring them up.

Could you clarify which numbers you'd like to see, sir? It can also build stuff for us with a live preview. You can just talk to it voice in voice out and actually should remember things. But that's something we need to improve as we go along.

So it's pretty powerful stuff. You know, lots of cool features built into that. I'd actually be interested if you're watching this to know like, OK, what would actually be useful? What would you genuinely use out of all of these features?

And then also, what would you like to see in future versions? But you can see your Hermes Jarvis. Then you've got like this wake word where you can flip it on. You have the arc reactor so you can tap it and talk.

It has fast answers, briefing, ready to go voice. And then you can type instead inside the command box as well. Indeed, sir, versatile and efficient, much like a trust. You can even listen in the background and then you can interrupt it as well.

As you can see right now. Indeed, sir. Always ready for your next command seamlessly. So it's pretty cool.

And then you got the briefing history. The other cool thing is I can just interrupt it mid-flow like talking to a person. So if it says something now. Understood, sir.

Yes. Very well, sir. As you wish. Understood.

So you get the point. I'm going to switch off now. But yeah, pretty fun to build. Really cool.

If you're watching this and you've been thinking about building voice agents, I think now is the time. It's better than ever. Genuinely, the first time I've been impressed by this sort of stuff. If you want to get my setup with the Hermes agent setup, with Hermes Jarvis, the agentic OS and everything else, you can get that inside the iProfit Boardroom.

Link in the comments description or just go to theiprofitboardroom.com. I answer questions personally inside the community here. Inside the classroom, you get access to all of my best trainings. Inside the new daily update section, you can get access to the agent OS system.

You can see when it was last updated. So we've actually dropped a new version today. And then you can get all of my new tutorials inside here too. Inside the calendar, you can drop a weekly coaching course, get help and support in real time.

And inside the map, you can meet people locally who are building with Hermes agent and other tools like this. So feel free to get it all. Link in the comments description or go to theiprofitboardroom.com. Thanks for watching.

Cheers. Bye-bye.
