01What Hermes Oracle Is and How It Works

Hermes Oracle is a system that uses the Hermes AI agent to search Twitter, find the latest news, and rank it by usefulness. It gives you a headline, a link to the source, an angle for content, and even a draft social media post. The system runs on one agent and connects via Grok OAuth — so if you have a Twitter subscription, you do not need any API keys.

Every result is automatically saved into your Obsidian memory galaxy. That creates a growing archive of news you can search and reuse. Your agents get better context over time.

In this episode, Julian Goldie explains how Hermes Oracle replaces the old method of manually scrolling Twitter or asking tools like Claude for news — which gives vague, unhelpful results.

02Main Features of Hermes Oracle

  • Sweep: The agent scans Twitter and finds the latest trending stories in your chosen industry.
  • Rank: Each story gets a score (e.g., 91 out of 100) based on how big the conversation is and how useful the update is.
  • Angle: For every story, the system suggests a unique framing or hook you can use for your content.
  • Draft: You can click "draft this" and the agent writes a social media post in real time, complete with a quote and link to the original tweet.
  • Memory integration: All results are stored in your Obsidian memory galaxy, so they become context for future agent tasks.
  • Scheduling: The task can run automatically — hourly, daily, or as often as you choose.

03How to Set Up Hermes Oracle

  1. Get a Twitter subscription (X Premium) so you can use Grok OAuth. No extra API payments are needed.
  2. Log into the Hermes agent system using your Grok OAuth credentials. This gives Hermes access to the built-in Twitter search tool.
  3. Open the Hermes Oracle workflow inside the agent OS dashboard. If you have the full agent OS from the AI Profit Boardroom, the Oracle is already wired in.
  4. Connect your Obsidian vault to the system so that every news sweep automatically writes a memory entry into the memory galaxy.
  5. Set a schedule — for example, run the task every morning or hourly — so the Oracle sweeps, ranks, and saves updates while you sleep.
  6. Test it by viewing the generated news list. You should see scores, links, angles, and draft buttons for each story.

04How to Use Hermes Oracle Step by Step

Open the Hermes Oracle dashboard. You will see a list of news items, each with a score, a headline, a link to the source, and a suggested angle. Click any headline to see the original tweet or article.

Then click "draft this" to generate a ready-to-post social media update. The draft includes a quote, your angle, and a hook. You can copy the post directly to Twitter.

Every time you use the Oracle, the results are saved in your Obsidian memory galaxy under an "AI news" section. Later, you can browse that archive to find past stories or reuse angles. The system also logs all the links, so you never lose a source.

Julian shows how, in this episode, he picked a story about an OpenAI release, saw it scored 91, and drafted a post in seconds.

05Results and Comparisons from the Episode

Julian compared Hermes Oracle to the old way of getting news. Using Claude to ask for "latest AI news" gave generic, unhelpful headlines. Those headlines had no links, no scores, and no actionable angles.

In contrast, Hermes Oracle delivered specific updates with direct links, ranked by relevance and practical usefulness.

He also compared it to manually scrolling Twitter. That old method takes 20 to 40 minutes of guessing which stories are big and which are old. With the Oracle, you see the most important signals instantly.

In the episode, Julian showed that the first result scored 91 and the next scored 88 — both were super recent and relevant to AI tool updates. The system also filters out noise, so you only see the top six signals at a time.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do not use vague AI tools like Claude for news. They do not give reliable links or current updates. Hermes Oracle connects directly to Twitter's real-time feed.
  • Avoid manual scrolling. It wastes time and often leads to old or irrelevant stories. Let the agent sweep and rank for you.
  • Do not forget to set a schedule. The Oracle can run automatically. If you run it only once manually, you miss the benefit of continuous updates.
  • Make sure your Obsidian vault is connected. Without memory galaxy integration, you lose the archive and the compounding context for your agents.
  • You need a Twitter subscription. The system uses Grok OAuth. If you do not have that, you cannot log in without API keys.
  • Start with one industry. If you try to track everything at once, the results may be too broad. Focus on news relevant to your niche.

07Who Hermes Oracle Is For and Why It Matters

Hermes Oracle is for anyone who needs to stay on top of fast-changing news — especially in AI, tech, or any industry where news breaks on Twitter. Content creators, marketers, agency owners, and business owners can all use it to find angles for posts, articles, or videos before the trend fades.

It matters because it saves hours of manual research and helps you spot the biggest conversations first. The system also trains your AI agents automatically. Every saved news item adds to your memory vault, making future responses smarter.

Julian explains that with the Oracle, you "wake up holding the train instead of chasing it." This turns news gathering from a chore into a completely automated advantage.

08How Hermes Oracle Fits into the Agent OS

The Oracle is one small part of a larger agent operating system. In the same dashboard, you can use Hermes Jarvis for real-time conversations, set up agent profiles, generate AI images and voice notes, and orchestrate multi-agent workflows. All data from every tool is saved into your workspace and the memory galaxy.

This means your news radar is not isolated. It feeds into your SEO systems, your content deployment, and your daily automation. In the episode, Julian showed how even loop engineering and auto-deploying articles to a website are connected in one system.

So when you build with the agent OS, each tool compounds with the others. The Oracle is the entry point for real-time intelligence, and the rest of the OS turns that intelligence into action.
