01What Hermes OS Is and How It Works

Hermes OS is an agent operating system that puts all your Hermes Agent tools in one visual workspace. Instead of using the terminal or desktop app, you get a dashboard where you can see and control everything.

It works by connecting different agents and tools together. You can categorize news, send outreach emails, create videos, and manage tasks. The system saves your history and memory, so you can always come back to what you built.

In this episode, Julian Goldie showed how he built this system to make automation easier. He said it took him three to four hours to build, and he updates it daily for his community.

02Main Features of Hermes OS You Should Know

Hermes OS has several key features that go beyond what you can do in the terminal.

  • Hermes Oracle: Pulls in the latest trending news, lets you draft social posts, and publish to WordPress with one click.
  • Hermes Jarvis: A voice-activated version you can talk to. It can open websites and give daily briefings.
  • Outreach Agent: Finds leads, validates email addresses, and sends outreach campaigns from a dashboard.
  • Goal mode: Gives Hermes a goal, and it loops with a judge for up to 20 turns until the work passes quality control.
  • Memory galaxy: Automatically logs every interaction so your agents get smarter.
  • Kanban board: Lets you orchestrate multiple Hermes profiles like a team.

These features are all connected, so you can switch between them easily.

03How to Set Up Hermes OS

Setting up Hermes OS is not technical if you use a pre-made system. Julian showed how members get it installed fast.

  1. Get the Hermes OS zip file from the AirProfit boardroom.
  2. Watch the video tutorial that comes with it.
  3. Follow the install guide step by step.
  4. Connect your API keys, like Hunter and Firecrawl, in the settings.
  5. Start with a simple tool like the Hermes Oracle to test it.

One member, Rick, had the whole system set up and wired within 30 minutes. Another member, Jose, built out a full operating system in one day.

04Using Hermes Oracle and Jarvis for Daily Tasks

With Hermes Oracle, you can see the latest news headlines on a dashboard. It refreshes on a cron job daily, but you can click "Consult the Oracle" to get newer news instantly.

You can open a trending news post and then use one click to draft a social media post. Another click publishes an SEO-optimized article to WordPress. The system even gives you the links to what you created.

Hermes Jarvis works with voice. You can say "open up Google" and it opens the browser. You can also say "open up juliangoldy.com" and it goes there.

You can toggle real-time mode on or off, change the voice from a dropdown, and get a daily briefing.

05Results and Comparisons Shown in the Episode

Julian showed real results from using Hermes OS. For example, the Hermes Oracle published a guide in one click that was fully customized and unique.

He also showed an outreach campaign where the system found leads, validated emails, and even hid big companies that are too large to contact. The dashboard tracked recent contacts and replies.

On the Kanban board, a content studio task created a fully edited video and a blog post in the "done" column. These examples show how the system saves time compared to doing everything manually.

Julian compared this to using Hermes Agent in the terminal, which he said is hard to come back to. With Hermes OS, everything is saved and easy to find.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

Julian shared several tips for getting the most out of Hermes OS.

  • Use the system's sections to keep workflows organized. It's hard to manage agents in the terminal.
  • Set a cap on how many emails you send in the Outreach Agent to avoid overdoing it.
  • Use goal mode to let agents work autonomously, but check the quality control results.
  • Link your MCPs in one click to extend capabilities, like connecting to NotebookLM.
  • Be careful when customizing. Changing one thing can break another, so test everything.

One limit is that building a custom version from scratch takes a lot of time. Julian noted you have to tweak and test, and changes can cause issues elsewhere.

07Who Hermes OS Is For and Why It Matters

Hermes OS is for anyone who wants to automate tasks with AI agents without dealing with the complexity of the terminal. It is especially useful for content creators, marketers, and business owners who want to save time.

You can use it for news curation, social media posting, SEO content, outreach, and video creation. The system also helps you organize your work so you can repeat it.

Julian stressed that most people don't realize how powerful Hermes Agent can be. With Hermes OS, you can see what is possible and actually use it. He said anything you think you can automate, you can do with this system.
