How to Build Agent OS - FREE Course!

Full transcript

agentic operating systems full one hour course how to build and automate anything so today i'm going to show you exactly how to build your own agent operating system based on what's working for me if you're wondering what an agent operating system is basically it's a way to have all of your agents inside one beautiful dashboard where you also build out custom workflows and you have everything one click away and the amazing thing about this is that you can basically have everything in one single place that's ready to automate and operate as you want so let me give you an example like for me i used to spend a lot of time creating videos and so we created this video agent that basically does that for us in one single click we have for example an seo content pipeline where we can research stuff we can find the keywords we can generate content and then we just deploy it to our website in one single click and basically everything that you want to automate you can automate using these systems so for example hermes agent not very fun in the terminal if you're just using the terminal not that great even if you're using for example hermes desktop you still can't get it exactly how you want with this system for example we have hermes jarvis which is a voice operated ai agent and it looks and feels exactly how i want it to look it's got all of my projects over here and we also have for example like hermes oracle that pulls in the latest trending news and everything else and i'm not saying that to boast or to show off my i know anything like that i just want to show you what's possible with this sort of stuff so for example this one this is hermes astros which again is a custom workflow and you can rename this you can change it how you want you can build whatever you want using these systems and this for example actually takes the latest news from twitter and gives us the trending topic ideas looks at different titles we could use for that content and then also we can just plug that into the video agent so it can automate the video we could plug it into notebook lamb and create for example free infographics and all that sort of thing and then we could create seo content for you and you can build all of this for free using your existing subscriptions as well which is very important to know so for example if you have chat gpt already and you already subscribe to it well you can actually use chat gpt to build all this out i actually personally used opus 4.8 inside claude and i've used fable 5 to help me a lot along the way and for example if you have something that's a problem you want to solve let me give an example so a lot of people ask me like how do you automate leads and email outreach using something like hermes so with hermes we have a tool here that can generate leads we just type in exactly what type of leads we want to get here it generates a list of leads then it has all the campaigns it can write the email campaign itself then it can actually send the emails with these campaigns it pulls in all the lead details and then from there we can manage the metrics so we can see how many leads we've got how many were validated how many are sendable how many we actually sent how many replied and we've got our inbox and sent inbox fully automated with hermes agent inside one beautiful dashboard and that just saves so much time so this is the power of this stuff this is how amazing it is and you will learn how to build all this today and and i'm going to show you exactly how you can get started so if you're wondering you know why why i'm the right person to show you this i literally spend about three to four hours a day coding this out making it better and better and there's so many mistakes i learned along the way so many things i can improve so with that let's get straight into this so i'm just going to be using gpt 5.6 as an example i quite like soul i think it's great to build with and you can see that we've got gpt and chat gpt work over here installed as an app now for example we set up hermes agent that's fully ready to go we've used gpt 5.6 as the brain inside hermes agent and now we want to let's say create a dashboard with it so what we can do here is we can actually go inside the chat here and we can say okay now create a mission control dashboard where i can operate chat gpt codex plus hermes agent and we can say make it clean make it beautiful make it interesting to use make sure it actually works and then if you have an idea of what you want to create so let's say for example you have a certain design style with that sort of thing well you can actually use that for inspiration when you're building this out so if we wanted to build this setup inside chat gpt we can just take a screenshot plug that in and just say i've attached an example of the style that i want to create and so we can hit enter now and that'll begin building this out so if you want to start from zero and you want to build it exactly how you would like it in a way that's easy to use you can go from there now i'll also show you another way that you can do this so if you want to use someone else's template so for example we have a version of mine inside the airprofit bottom that we actually update every time i code out for three or four hours i will actually save that so you can see the zip file here if you're wondering how do you install this see we do the same thing you can use whatever agent you prefer so that could be chat gpt it could be for example claude whatever you prefer and we can start a new project start from scratch save that new project and then we can add this so we can add the zip file so we can grab the zip file over here which is there and we can say install and configure this agent os on a local port we don't already have running so i like to run these things locally as well and we'll come on to that and why in a second but now we have two options so we can use we can use the setup from the airprofit bottom and that's just kind of like ready to go and all good to go or the other option that we have is if you just want to build this out free from scratch you can go and build it inside chat gpt as you can see so now it's going to say okay what should the dashboard be able to do so it says before implementation i need three decisions that materially affect the architecture so we have agent control we have workspaces we have application format now for me i'm going to say just allow it to run locally for me in chrome and have one fixed folder and allow it to be fully operational so this is something important to note so you see when it's asking you it's asking you like do you want it for operations so that it can actually like edit files it can do things autonomously for you or do you want it kind of like a chat for me i don't want a chat because if i just want to chat i'll just go to chat gpt over here and that is exactly why i actually created the agent os because when you're just going back and forth inside the chat here it's super limited like it doesn't feel gigantic it doesn't feel powerful it doesn't really have everything that you want and it's very very limited in terms of what it can do so that's why i prefer it to be like way more powerful the whole point of this is to build something absolutely amazing that can basically automate anything it just runs like magic so that's why we are setting up like this system so you can see over here this is beginning to install now as well all right so you can see that we've got two options here we have the agent os being installed locally from the template and we have the hermes agent os over here too so you've got two different options now both of these will run like you can see i'm actually going to switch this to fast mode so i'm going to say switch to fast mode now just so that we can get faster outputs from both of these that's already enabled which is great and now when we're using here you can see that it's beginning to use this local setup so you'll see a number like this now you might be wondering why are you running it locally why not just run it on vps here's something to consider okay and this is something that i saw when i was looking at all the mistakes from open claw and a lot of the issues that people faced is that there were two things with agents so you have to be very careful of number one is that you have to be careful because when you're building with this sort of stuff if you give access to multiple different devices then someone externally could access your agent os and if it can edit files if it can control your computer if you can do everything like that it's not that secure um if you if you're giving the world access to it so that's why i don't recommend that instead what i recommend instead is that you use a system like this and you run it locally now you can run it on a vps we have plenty of ar profitable members who do that and then they just limit the tools that they give access to but it's up to you how you want to do it now you can see that we already have the agent os installed over here so this is fully installed as you can see here we've got everything set up it's set up on a separate agent os local port so for example if we go over here this is my actual agent os and we have the template over here so it's pretty easy and the thing to note here is like when you're using this you just need to configure everything right so it's now running using the template that i gave it but i'm going to say configure everything and just to make this simpler for you to understand we're going to rename this project i'm going to call that templated setup and then we're going to use this project here and we're going to call this starting from scratch right we'll just call this new agent os example so we've got two different options right there so now it's said okay before i configure it just we're just going to go through step by step setting up each part that doesn't require an api i'm going to say yes and figure this out right just so that it can start working directly there now we have the other setup here, so this is the other version working locally as you can see and then I just want to make sure one thing as well that we don't have overlapping ports yeah so this is starting on this port which is 3200 and this one is running on that port which is 127 now you can actually see when you're doing this like it does a very good job of building out locally and also emulating the style that we want so we'll see how these go so it says core scaffolding is in I'm wiring this out blah blah blah now whilst we're waiting for those two tasks both the new one and the templated version to be done something else to consider is the memory setup now there's so many different memory options like for example if you've never come across it Hermes agent memory so many different options right there you can use loads of different persistent memory there's lots of different options for this the reason that you would have a memory is so that you're not starting from scratch and also that you'd link everything together so if we have a look for example at this setup over here when you're building this out all of these agents can use the context from our memory system why would we want that we would want that because for example one of the reasons you want to have a agent OS is that you don't go in between different apps and have to configure everything separately so normally what happens and this is a big problem for most people is like they will go over to chat GPT and then they'll go over to Claude and these two things they don't sing together they don't work together so what you want instead is a memory system how would you build a memory system you can go into obsidian obsidian is my preferred memory system and obsidian basically stores everything is marked down files in a beautifully organized system like this now if you're wondering how to get obsidian you can just go to obsidian and it's a free app that you can download it's actually open source one so you can just get obsidian and then you configure it like that it won't look as beautiful like this but you can ask the agents to organize and smart and help you and organize it properly so it looks more efficient so step one is building out the dashboard which we've got chat GPT working on over here and then step number two is that we are building the memory system inside all of this so that when we're using Claude and when we're using chat GPT and if we're using Hermes they all sync together they all work together so the reason for that is like then the agents know exactly what you've worked on which means you'll get better responses you'll get more personalized responses and it'll be easier to use each one so if we have a look at our memory system over here and we scroll in this is our memory galaxy so every single dot that you can see is a individual memory and this is all linked together inside one beautiful galaxy where we've got all of our files over here that we can preview and we can have a look really easy to use and so when we're doing this it means that we can sync our memories together and we can have every agent basically understanding what the other agents have worked on and the other thing that to note about all of this system is like every single dot inside here is for example like a person or a project or a business or a tool that I've used and it all gets synced inside one place now when you're doing this as well you don't have to create all of this yourself you should get your agents to do it so you can say to for example Claude, hey Claude based on everything I've worked on recently just create a obsidian file and organize that and then you can say to chatgpt okay based on my local obsidian vault can you just improve this blah blah blah right and that's how it works step by step and one thing I'm just gonna do here is I'm gonna say don't remove the previous system that was set up on the local port just create a new one so we still need the agent OS on the old port because what it's done is basically taking my old port down and then replaced it so make sure the old one on let's find this this local port is back it's back up ASAP and then you can use a totally different local host so that's something to know as well it's like when you're running this locally if you're running other projects like other github projects in the background you don't want to have them conflicting because you can only run one local project on one local URL so we've talked about memory and we've talked about how to build dashboard now also it's important to note with the memory as well something that will make it a lot easier is you can use something like OMI and OMI can actually record your screen take notes it can listen to your microphone you can understand what you're working on and then it can create a list of memories here so you can see for example 21 minutes ago one hour ago one hour ago it understands everything that we've been working on recently that's really useful because then I don't have to take the notes myself and actually gets more detail than any other agent that I'm working with so when we're using OMI which again is another free open source project I think they do have a subscription if you're using it a lot but if you're just using a basic version of it you can get access right here it's available on OMI it's MIT license it listens to you understands what you're working on takes notes and then you can actually export that to Obsidian so we've got OMI that goes to Obsidian and we go from there so if we go to home inside OMI and then we go to the settings and we check this out we can then export this directly to Obsidian as well which is really really useful so this is building out now and you'll see here the this is quite a big project for the chat GPT to work on so when it's building out from scratch you can see here that it's beginning to build out step by step working on everything prioritizing the UI and the integrations here but it might take a few minutes it's been coding out for like 10 minutes already just working on this brand new agent OS whereas for example as you saw before we've already got the agent OS live with the template so it's way faster to use a template than it is to use a brand new setup from scratch so if you want to save time I would just go with the template inside the output volume but if you want to build your own from scratch this is how you can do over here now when we're waiting for those to run one other thing to note here is that whilst we're building this and we're creating stuff out you you only need to add what's relevant one feature that I built in and I recommend this for you too is it you have an option to hide things because what we're trying to build here is something where we focus on the system not the model so for example OpenClaw go back like two months ago this was probably the biggest AI agent in the world it's only recently that people stopped using it and that includes me because Hermes took over so my point here is that you want to focus on the model on the system not the model so you can hide OpenClaw and you can add it in and I would allow that for yourself as well so that you can move things around you can change it because things in AI are crazy like GPC 5.6 as soon as it came out absolutely mind-blowing but GPC 5.5 I would never build anything like this with it so as you go along here there's gonna be things that you swap out that you don't need I mean if you look at my setup as well because I'm testing so many things all the time I have loads of tools here but for you personally you might only use Hermes or you might only use Claude and you just need to build out separate workflows for each one so that's something important to know it's like you don't have to use everything that you see here it doesn't have to be as complex as this one thing that I learned along the way was the the simpler you can make this the better because you won't use every feature I mean for example Kimmy code I personally haven't used for weeks so I should probably hide that I can always reuse it if you know Kimmy k218 comes out and then it's absolutely mind-blowing so you see how you can swap things in you can swap things out etc because you got the mission control here you got the daily goals list as well this is really useful I'd recommend building this into and any feature that you see here that you like right I want to add it in or for example let's say you have an idea and you're like I need to add that in I need to add this in etc right well when you're building any of this out you can go back into chat GPT and you can say okay great now build out a daily journal section or now build out a daily habits tracker whatever feature you have in your idea in your mind you can build in and you can ask chat GPT to build it and if it's taking ages to apply you can just say okay add a journal feature and if you type forward slash steer inside or if you add the message here you actually give you the option to steer it in the right direction if it's in the middle of coding so that's how it works step-by-step now if you have a look we've got the mission control template installed so this is actually the template from the AR Profit Boarding if we have a look at the setup from the agentic OS that chat GPT has built it looks similar but this is the version where you're starting from scratch now when you're building this out step-by-step it actually looks really nice when you're building this out out step by step you want to test out so let's just test are you working and you'll see things that you want to improve you'll see things you want to make better and actually if you have a look at this it totally blanks so we said are you working and then it just didn't reply so when we're fixing stuff like this and this way it can take quite a few hours per day for me to test out and improve this we need to drag that screenshot in and say hey this isn't working can you fix it and we'll delete that previous response that we gave for example it's not replying and also when I click enter it actually just had a blank screen so just make sure you test and actually make sure it works so it's much easier to start from a template a template will actually work whereas for example this setup one and you see how this is running through each stage of the process whereas for example with the new version from scratch it created a nice ui but it didn't even test it even though we previously asked it to and that's on gpt 5.6 sol extra high so because it's such a big project and because it was coding for so long it kind of forgot to do what we asked it to do because we said make sure it works make sure it actually um you know actually works step by step but it doesn't it just created the ui so we've got the ui the user interface that's looking good we just need to make sure that the rest of it is working too so it's going to start improving that as well so if we come back to chatgpt that's beginning to analyze it as well now also the great thing about chatgpt and you can use claude for this you could even use hermes for it although i think if i had a choice out of all these i'd use chatgpt or claude at this point because it's just much more visual when you're building stuff like this you can actually fork the conversation right so you can click on new over here and inside the same folder you can have agents working in parallel on building out the agent os now this is really really useful so for example when i'm coding out the agent os inside claude what you'll see on the left hand side is that i will test and run different implementations side by side at the same time what i mean for example is that when i was building out the video agent i was also working on the seo agent and i was having them both being built side by side inside the agent operating system and so the great thing about chatgpt as well is that you can just start a new chat here and you can say add inside the agent os an image generator and then we'll say use gpt 5.6 for generating the images with the oauth slash cli setup and make sure it actually works plus allow me to save anything that i create and so what you can see here is that we now have two conversations at the same time for our new agent os that we're building so every idea that you have that you think wow this will be valuable you can build it at the same time and this means for example you can have like six different conversations inside the same project that'll be encoded out side by so we can have for example a video agent an seo agent being coded out the lead generation being coded out and we just add in new workflows inside the agent os system as we go along so you can see here that it's asking a few questions i'm just going to say yeah just figure it out and build out right i don't need to give instructions like that to gpt 5.6 because it's smart enough to figure out for me and if it really is bad then okay no problem i can like go back and fix it later the other cool thing about using this is like whether you're using for example claude or using chat gpt you can plug in your existing subscriptions into this system so if you use claude a lot ask it to build claude cli into the agent os and that way you don't need to use api which means that you don't blast through loads of tokens which means that it doesn't cost you anything extra to number one build the agent os and number two use the agent os because for example we have a look inside the system we have an agentic os system with claude with hermes with anti-gravity with codex now codex already subscribed to chat gpt before i built this and so it didn't cost me anything extra claude already subscribed to it before i built it didn't cost me anything extra hermes free open source project we plugged omni roots of brain into it doesn't cost me anything so you see how you can build these agentic operating systems for free that's very important to know as well and now this is beginning to code step by step it's adding the image generator inside there it's installing hermes as well and by the way for the actual agent os system that uses the template that was all set up and configured here so it says the new system has separate configuration and what i would do if you're installing this template from scratch from the airproft boardroom is just tell it listen test everything out anything that doesn't work tell me and make sure that you authenticate it or if you can't authenticate it that you ask me so that i can set out so the template setup is pretty much finished at that point that's way way easier whereas for example building out an agent os from scratch you know you could be here for a few hours or you know you might see something that breaks tomorrow and then you have to go and fix it as well now when we were talking about the memory system as well that obsidian system you can go back into the agent os here and you can say also add the memory system from obsidian so i have obsidian installed locally install that into the agent os as well so it's automatically synced and also make sure the chatubity and hermes are synced to my memory system so when i use them you update the obsidian as a new markdown file but also when i ask you questions you learn from the obsidian vault that we have locally and you use that as context that way everything is personalized inside the agent os so this is a memory system and how you can install that and this is pretty cool because now we have the front end plus functionality that's being tested over here we have the custom workflow that we're building out here and we have the memory system that's being built over here so we're adding three different layers as we go along and we've done that in the space of what 27 minutes there's going to be some workflows as well that you have ideas for and you're like there's no way it could do that i would genuinely just ask because most of the time gpt 5.6 can handle anything that you throw at it i've not seen gpt 5.6 be unable to build this stuff out it's pretty unbelievable everything that you can use here and so i'm gonna say figure this out if i had more time if i was here for a few hours or whatever then what i would actually do is give it more instructions and be more in-depth and just take a little bit longer to answer these questions but i'm trying to save you time and i'm trying to show you in real time how it works without it being boring honestly so if we have a look over here we've now set up gpt 5.6 sol with image generation we've set up the front-end functionality and we have the dashboard here we can also improve it and test it out side by side inside chat gpt so this is the operating system we built and this is the dashboard that we built so if we go inside hermes agent here we're just going to say working and make sure hermes agent actually replies to us boom and it says yes i'm working what do you need now this is amazing because now we have hermes agent we have gpt 5.6 plugged in which is like one of the best frontier models in the world we have chat gpt codecs and that's creating some amazing stuff as well so if we go to hermes agent here we can use it agentically and we can use it inside our agent os now we've got it inside chat gpt codecs and now we have the mission control as well if we click on any of these it takes us straight to the conversation the ui looks nice it looks clean it looks simple which is great as well and then over here we have the live activity so we can see what's being done we have the work that moves of recent operations we have both of the agents that we've built and we have everything else ready to go unbelievable how easy it was to set this up now of course we do have the image generator that needs to be tested and we'll see how that performs as well and then we've also got the memory system that's being built out as well so what other layers do you need to add to this as well that might be another question you're asking so something that's really really useful is the conversation history now if i open this up and it just starts from blank every time not very useful but if i can start a new chat like you can see here and we can switch between them that is great because then you're kind of using hermes like chat gpt so you can go back and forth inside the chat of it but also you can use it agentically because you've got hermes agent raw that can basically have superpowers it can do computers you can edit files locally and so it's kind of like you've created your own better version of chat gpt this is chat gpt but it can't edit my local files whereas for example if we go over to hermes agent this can work directly here too so that's great now one thing that i'd also add here as well is a system where you can essentially save everything you've created now i'll come on to that in a second but let's have a look at this image generator and you see how we're basically building out our own sas tool like think about how amazing that is we're at the stage now where you can build your own tools you don't need any technical knowledge you don't need to be really technical or understand html or be a coder to build this stuff out you can just build your own custom workflows using AR automation in a way that is customize and personalize to you that is unbelievable so if we go inside here and we're like okay create a image of a cat eating biscuits and we'll delete this bit here we'll change that we'll get rid of that you see how it's got this aspect ratio as well so i didn't even ask it to do that but codex fought ahead because i asked it to figure out that's why i quite often prefer just giving the ai to figure out because it has better ideas and it has more time to give attention to this than i do like if i've been coding this out for hours i'm gonna get tired i'm gonna get distracted it's gonna be difficult to focus at times you might get frustrated sometimes as well whereas if you give the decisions to a frontier model like gpt 5.6 it can do it all for you and handle everything as you go along so now we can say okay i want to just go with a cinematic image of a cat eating biscuits we've got the prompt we've got the aspect ratio cinematic we hit generate image and that may not work but so far it's actually looking really good really impressive actually and so one thing that might happen here is if we click from image studio to hermes agent i wonder if it's going to stop yeah so you see how we clicked on that and then it stopped generating so we needed it to be able to run in the background that's another great feature and you'll see the more you test it the more you'll see ideas to improve it and more things that will come up that are kind of like bugs like this and so what we want to do here is just say okay inside the custom workflow image generator and this is exactly why you want to rename the conversation so if you right click and rename the conversation you can see exactly what you're working on it keeps makes it easy to keep track we can go inside here and say based on the image studio if i generate an image can you just make sure it still runs in the background whilst i'm moving around and also what we've seen here is that it's actually tested out and it's found some bugs that we didn't even know about so it's turned a 500 error and it's uncovered a real bug there which is fantastic as well because it's doing the bug checking for me but overall it's looking very very promising that's beginning to work i mean i bet if we go back to the app here and we're like okay create a image of a cat and then we just hit generate image that should actually work without us switching between them but let's see so we've got the mission control we have the different agents built in we have the studio with custom workflows as well but this is beginning to look and form something that is actually amazing and you can see here that we've got the agentic memory vault as well so this is the system that we've used and i actually want to add that as a tab so i'm going to say add the memory system as a tab so that i can easily see the memories have been added and see what's been done and also visualize it inside like a beautiful knowledge graph and we can hit enter here now it's beginning to run out of work usage as you can see because i've been running on fast mode and we've created so much stuff side by side i'm going to say figure this out but the 8020 of building an agentic operating system is being done as you can see and so all this is working in the background you do need to be careful with the token usage as well because you can easily run out of tokens if you're wondering how to check your token usage you can go inside the advanced section here and you can switch the effort levels and the speed and everything else so you can see how many tokens you've used side by side as well and you can also click on reset usage as well that's an option now this is beginning to code out each part as well nice memory system should be added in and we've hit the limit we have so there we go we've hit the usage limit already we can actually click on reset usage that'll be quite interesting i don't know if we can or not oh yeah we can oh so you can do a weekly reset usage limit as well i didn't know that that's pretty good and then we've got our weekly usage limit that resets on the 18th which is quite a few days ago but yeah and also when you're building out with this if you want to reduce the amount of tokens because this can become a problem especially if you're creating so many things in parallel using the agentic operating system then you've got a few options so you can switch off fast mode you can switch off the intelligence so you can actually dial down the intelligence level you can also change and click on advanced and then you can switch between the models so if it's just something really basic then you could switch the model to like cheap to 5.5 and that would use less tokens you can change the effort level to light or medium and you can change the speed to standard now when you're building all this out the more you reduce the amount of tokens you use by dialing down the effort dialing down the speed dialing down the model the worse the outputs will be so there's always that balance with token optimization between creating something that you really like also using the plan without running out of credits also something else to take into account here is that there are loads of different ways you can reduce the amount of tokens and minimize them even more we've actually got 10 different strategies inside our token minimization playbook in the iProfit Boarding that can help you save like 95% of your tokens so if you want to get like almost 2 to 3x out of your system and be able to code for more and use more tokens then you can use this system here and it will actually reduce the amount of tokens used and that's also one of the reasons that we recommend a templated setup because for example with the templated setup as you can see right here that just installed it configured it in the background and that was already done in like 10 to 20 minutes that is way better than having to build this from scratch yourself so it's your choice but for me personally i would prefer to use like a template and setup just so i can save time because you know time is really valuable so we have talked about how to build your own agent operating system how to add custom workflows how to set up the memory inside there how to test everything works how to add new features and you can see for example we have the image of the cat eating biscuits now as well so that custom workflow works really well one thing that i'd recommend is you audit your time so you look at where you're spending your time and then how can the agent os help you so anything that you have an idea for you can build it as you've seen so for example the image studio we had that idea and we built it out now at this point you might be wondering okay what should you be focusing on what custom workflow should you add to your agent os well i would look at where you spend your time and then work backwards from there so anything that you need to do every single day on a schedule that is repeatable and doesn't require you to be there which is basically 99% of the stuff you should be automating and you should be building custom workflows so let me show you some examples of what we build here so inside my agent os we have the content pipeline the reason that we did that is number one i was wasting loads of time on keyword research and i was using tools i didn't really like so for example i was using ahrefs for keyword research it wouldn't really give me new data and it would give me old suggestions that weren't that helpful with this system i can type for example agent os or whatever i'm trying to focus on when it comes to seo it will pull in that data and it's custom made to all of my websites and the niche that i'm in so if we keep scrolling down here you can see all of the different keywords that we've got and so i'd be saved for me about 30 minutes a week then from there we can click on use topic and we can actually create the content and deploy it to our websites in one single click that is super useful for me now if you're watching this you might be like well i don't do any seo like why do i want that and that's exactly why you want to go back into gpt 5.6 based on what you work on day to day and tell it exactly what you do based on your time audit and ask it to build that in so if you're spending a lot of time doing research build that you spend a lot of time doing lead generation add a lead generation tool inside there that's how it works and this just um loops round and round so like for example when you start automating all this stuff i don't think that you're going to find you work less i think that you're going to find you work more productively and you achieve way more like i mean for me we can we can create way more content we can reach way more people we can grow way faster because we have all these systems in place and so like for me i don't see it as like a way to free up my time i see it as a way to save time so that i can use that to focus on other parts of the business and then just keep cycling through okay what do we work on what do we work on what do we need to do next and next and next also there's some other really cool stuff that you can build inside here too so one thing that we actually did is we noticed okay we have so many different agencies we've got claude we've got hermes we're anti-gravity we've got codex why don't we add those inside a system that we can orchestrate and so we actually add a paper clip inside here as well so that we can have an organization a team of ai agents working together they can go off and build stuff 24 7 we can see everything that we've created that is really really useful and also a lot of people are asking us to build this in so for example in their profitable community when people ask stuff we actually build it for them like for example there was um someone was asking this morning about how to use chat gpt in the new app so what we did is we recorded like a one hour course for them showing them exactly how to use chat gpt and so what i really like to do is get ideas from the community figure out the problems they have and then solve those problems with the agent os and i think that's really good for you like you can speak to your team you can speak to your audience you can look at the problems that you have and solve each one of them one by one by building the right systems in the same with the group chat here so we have a group chat and these are just ideas and workflows you can build in because we have finished building out the example project and so this example we actually create a group chat where you can message a room and then we can say okay Claude Hermes come up with a new game idea to build it will read our obsidian vaults in the memory that we talked about earlier and then all our agents just chip in and they speak to each other and they bounce ideas off each other so like for example Gemini is like oh that's a clever twist Claude let's do that and then Codex is like you know what this sounds really good to integrate open core and alarma let's add that to our pipeline which brings me to the next setup so we've got paperclip for agent orchestration we have the AI agent group chat we can also see the history of all our group chats here always good to add history inside the agent os otherwise you won't be able to find stuff and you'll lose stuff and you'll create loads of awesome stuff that you can't find later and then finally we have the pipeline so with the pipeline system you can drop an idea in here and you can go from getting the idea to going into the human approval section and just implementing it and this was really good because I found like a lot of people including myself would have so many amazing ideas but it was very difficult to implement everything so with this system you can take all your ideas automatically from the group chat because the agents add this into the pipeline and then anything that you like right we need to build this today okay great let's just build it it'll come up with a plan it'll plan it out then we can approve it then it'll build it and then we can view what was actually built previously and we actually have a full gallery where we can see all of our ideas and so we can go from idea to implementation so quickly which is really really cool so if like okay we need to build out this website boom shakalaka we can open up that website see you later and again I think it's so important to have like a gallery and a workspace and stuff you can see and save for later because if you don't the biggest issue is that you will not be able to find it it would just get lost in your downloads and that'll go with the other 100 projects you're working on and then you won't be able to find it again so that's why having a gallery in a pipeline is so so useful now what we also have over here is we have for example claude and anytime like claude actually brings something useful out we add that feature in as well as a separate tab I'd recommend that for you too so for example if you saw the ultra code update this was amazing you could have a full team of agents working in parallel working together towards one task and you don't have to orchestrate it claude is the orchestrator and it builds the sub-agents for you so with this system we just added that as a separate tab and it's like you create your own custom version of claude that you can edit you can change the ui of anytime you want and you can come back to at any point then we have hermes so hermes again really really powerful one of the things that I notice is like they bring out new there's always new models that we can plug into hermes and this way you want to focus on the system not the model so for example gpt 5.6 comes out no problem we're going to build that out it doesn't change how I work doesn't make me have to rebuild anything it's just like we can add the model inside the system the same for example a lot of people asking about how to have a voice activated ai agent that we can talk to and so we actually build that into this system as you can see so what it can do is it can listen to me you can talk to me it can build stuff out for me and then again we've got the full gallery here of everything we've created then we have hermes oracle for me I was just finding way too much time was being taken researching the latest news and so I created this I also think a great tip for you here if you're building out your own agent os is that you make sure it's super visual and fun to use so for example we just added this little icon here I think it just it's those little touches it's a little ui touches that make it fun and easy to use and very memorable so when I see this I'm like okay I know exactly what this does because I associate the image with the workflow here and if you don't like the ui or something like that you can always customize it for later too so we have a image studio here too but we actually have a video and a voice session as well you'll see your previous sessions or what's been done across all of your ai agents which is great we can see the status we can see the skills installed into our hermes agent the kanban the plugins the doctor the insights these are all just really cool ideas again as you make it more complex more things can break and also if you're using apis in any part of that just be careful because you know number one you don't want to rinse the tokens if you're using the api because it can get expensive and number two sometimes the apis will break or they'll expire and you have to be careful about that too what I also like to do is I like to separate the outputs by the system depending on the model and what I mean by that for example is we have hermes here what I recommend for you is that you build out a workspace where you can track all your creations by the model that's created it so when we were testing out grok 4.5 earlier this week we have all of the creations from grok 4.5 saved inside the workspace really useful we have the mcp section here we have the actual hermes dashboard embedded inside the system another really good tip as well is that if you see anything open source that you think wow that would be great to build in right so for example if we have a look through this list and we see what we've got here like omni room this is a free this is a free way a free api that you can use to build and automate anything with now why is that important for you well let's say for example using the agent os and you want to reduce the amount of tokens you use well you could take a project like this you can grab the github link you can go back into chat gpt here and you could say okay based on this build this into the agent os system so that i can code for free and then that's going to take the details from omni root install it into your agent os and all of a sudden you've not just got chat gpt and hermes in there you've now got a system with a free coder and if you're wondering how does that look like in reality here's an example so this is a custom tool we made with omni room where we can code out for free we have the chat over here we have the preview over here we have the workspace over here all right really really powerful stuff we have for example hy3 coder and also some of this stuff will expire so for example at hy3 it's only available for free until the 21st and so no problem as soon as the 21st hits we can delete this whole section or we can hide it and we can you know do something else the same for example with sakana fugu like sakana fugu is an api like it's not that nice to use and it's kind of like you have to find a place to store it and be able to come back to it so what did we do we built out our own custom tool with sakana fugu where we can see everything that we've created we can chat with it we can ask it to do stuff and everything is stored inside one system right here and then anytime something is trending or interesting that i want to play with for example like loops loop engineering was something big there was you know everyone was talking about about two weeks ago we plugged in the loop engineering system here and then the other thing i would say here is like when you're building out agent operating systems it doesn't just have to be for business stuff so for example you could have a system like this where you can generate music it could be for example your goals if you were really into muay thai you know you could have something related to that here it could be like a tracker for training or something like that whatever you prefer to do you can plug it inside the system so you could we have a music generator here if i want to just create some music that i'm interested in for particularly for like ambient music then i can just plug this inside the system we can get the files we can come back to the ai music we've generated later and it's all ready to go inside there as well so those are all the systems that we get another orchestration system as well and this is with hermes is the kanban board now with the kanban board what we have is a system where we can drop in a task it gets automatically triaged and then all of our agents and we've got many different agent profiles get signed to that task as well so yeah it's unbelievable it's really changed the way that i work and the other thing i would say here is it changes the way your team works as well so if you have a team like for me i have a an seo agency and you know we've we've got a team who needs to be able to use ai and that sort of thing we can give this to like our team of editors and they can use a video agent and if we have a look down here as well these are all reviews and testimonials from the air profile board room you can see here for example like so many people are getting awesome wins and awesome results with the agent os like jacob he set it up in about 10 minutes and you saw that i set up today as well and jacob was spending like 12 hours a day trying to build out the agent os and then he just did it in 10 minutes by using our template david was saying like julian is cooking harder on his agent os than anybody i've seen so it's a great way to customize it and you can see for example like sheena as well sheena actually created her own version of our agent os and used it for lead generation now one thing that i guess asked all the time by people is like you know what if you're for example thinking about selling ai agent services or ai automation what's the one thing the clients want to see what is in demand right now and for sure it's the agent operating system like if you can build out custom workflows that solve all the problems your customer has by creating amazing systems like you've seen today so if they need help generating images you create the image studio if they need to help generate videos you create the video studio if they need help generating social media content you create a social media agent and how do you do it you just go back into codex and you test it out for later so you can easily build out all this stuff and you just grab their idea you solve all the problems and you go from there now as well one thing that i'll say is like you might be tempted to have Claude and Codex work on the same thing at the same time. I personally wouldn't recommend that. So if you are building out with an agent and you're trying to work on the agent OS, you're trying to improve it day by day, trying to make it better as a system, the thing that I'd recommend here is that you just use one agent. So for me, for example, I'm using Claude right now and I use Fable 5 to help me.

You might prefer using ChatGPT, you might prefer using Hermes, but stick to one because if you have multiple agents in multiple different apps, number one, that gets really messy when you're building out an agent operating system. And number two, they could like overwrite or delete something that the other agent is building. So if, for example, Claude is building out something that's just broken, ChatGPT might be like, let's remove that from the code. And then all of a sudden, you've got two agents kind of interrupting each other's work and that can get super messy.

Wouldn't recommend that. One thing that I haven't tested that would be very interesting in testing though is with Codex, it's very easy to add plugins. Now, what would be very interesting here is if you could add those plugins inside the agent OS as well. So as an example of that, like we've got email and gmail plugged into Codex, right, into ChatGPT work.

So it can send emails for us, it can manage your emails, it can draft replies for us and everything else. Now, what would be very interesting is to say to Codex, hey, build out this scheduled task into my agent OS so that we have an email agent inside there. I'm not going to do that right now because I think it's a task that would probably take about 20 or 30 minutes to really perfect, but that would be interesting as well. So to take the plugin section from Codex and start adding that into your agent OS so that you can automate and build anything as you want right there.

Other things I'd recommend, number two is you might be tempted to put this on a website, for example, like a lot of our websites we use with Netlify. I wouldn't do that just because, again, like I think you need to keep it secure and everything else. Also, if you want to reduce the amount of tokens, you can also use stuff like free APIs and you can use local models. So if we go to the local section here, we can use local models from Olama or LM Studio, and this is particularly good for like the tasks that are quite time consuming but don't need frontier levels of effort.

So let's say, for example, we're looking at all of the models on Olama and we're like, okay, Ornith. Ornith looks awesome, right? Actually is a really good tool. I've tested it out personally.

We have a local lead board on GoldieBench with all the local models and you can see what we've created. You can see how they perform and everything else. And so you might be tempted to build that into your agent OS as well. And I think it's actually pretty interesting to build out a local coder.

And so what we have over here is we have this local section and we have the preview of everything we've created, what the workspace of our previous generations, and we can use local models inside the system too. And that's another way to use it for free because then you've got a combination of like OmniRoot, which is, you know, a free way to use like 90 models and it kind of orchestrates across them. You have HY3, which is another free API you can plug into the system. And then you have local models, which are basically free forever once you've installed them.

So between those three things, you can really reduce the amount of tokens that you use as well. What else can we do here? The other thing that I like to do is when I'm testing out all of the models with the same agent that builds out the agent OS, with all the creations, I just put them on GoldieBench so that I can document the process here. It's another good way to generate leads because people are searching for interesting stuff.

People want to know what you've built with it. People are interested in your agent OS if you actually share what you're working on and everything especially if you're working on like some new unique stuff. And so you can actually give your agent OS access to Netlify as well. And then it can like document the whole process, the whole building of the agent OS and what you've done.

Kind of like a journal, but it's not you updating it. It's not you writing. It's your agent, which is really cool as well. So that's basically it.

That is the whole system. How to build an agent operating system, how to customize it as much as you want, how to add a memory inside there, which agents you use to build it, how to reduce the amount of tokens you want and also how to create a system that actually works rather than just breaks and also how to use it in a simplified way using our templates. Now if you want to get my full agent operating system, you can get that inside the iProfit Boarding Room inside the agent OS system section right here. So we update this daily.

You can get the zip file for it. You can get the last, you can see the last update date here. You can get a full guide on how to use it and then every time we build something useful, so for example like we create a chat GPT 516 one hour course, you can get that over here as well. And then also if you want more help and support on building out with the agent OS, you can post inside the community and we reply to you and create a video tutorial for you every single day.

So for example like Matt was asking about OMI and the best ways to use it and what you can use instead, we solve that problem for him and we reply to everyone and just help each other as much as we can as you know in the best way that we can as well. Inside the classroom you can get access to all of our best trainings. If you're a complete beginner, you can go from beginner to expert inside this section and inside that calendar you can jump a weekly coaching course. Now this is super useful because you can share your screen, you can ask questions, you can get help and support in time and you can also meet other community members who are building out this sort of stuff as well.

Inside the map as well you can meet people locally who are building out with AI agents like you and this is all available inside the AI Profit Boarding. Link in the comments description or just go to the AIProfitBoarding.com. One other thing that has been really useful when we're building out all this stuff is that when a model like for example doesn't work the same way or you can't use it anymore, so for example Fable 5 was a great example now, because you've got a system that improves every single day, it doesn't really matter about that sort of stuff, you don't need to worry about that. So if GPT 5.6 comes out that's great, we can add it in but if for example Fable 5 got taken down which it did a few weeks ago, it doesn't matter because in like two minutes you can go back into ChatGPT and you can say hey remove the integration with Fable 5, add this in etc.

And also one thing that's really useful is because you've named the conversations, you can come back in like two weeks and edit that conversation. So for example what I like to do inside Claude, if I'm scrolling down, if I need to improve the setup that we have with Ponytail which is another AI project, I can go back inside the chat here and I can say hey add this, change that and because everything is named it's super easy to organize and it's easy to see everything as well. Some other interesting things that we've set up too in the past is like computer use with the AgentOS. So I can go inside Hermes for example and I can say hey Hermes can you just open up Google for me and that sort of thing and we can actually do that with Apollo which is the voice agent and that actually has access to computer use as well.

So it can like edit local files, it can edit, it can open stuff inside your browser and everything else as well which is really really good. And that's pretty much it when it comes to the whole system. I mean it's so much fun to build, it's so inspiring to build, it's also great to just build something that feels like your own. It's never been more fun to use and I think this has only been possible this year.

Like if you went back last year it was great using AI but you couldn't build in the same way. The models were just not at this level whereas when you're building the agent operating system now any custom workflow that you have, things that you've never even dreamed of creating before, you can just add inside this, you know, you can plug in like right want to add this, want to delete that, no problem at all. So it's so much fun, so much fun. Some other things that you can do as well is you can get skills and then you can plug them into the system.

So for example like there's a skill for reducing tokens which is called caveman and with caveman it basically reduces the amount of output tokens you plug in and you could add that inside the system as well. The final thing that I would say, and this is just a little feature, is that you can delete stuff. Give yourself the ability to delete stuff. So you can go into chatgpt and you just say okay make sure that everything that we create inside the agent operating system we can delete so that I can remove anything that doesn't work.

Because like sometimes you might generate something with Jell and Pop 2 but then it actually doesn't work very well and so how do you get around that? Well you can just make sure that you have the ability to delete that and just add a delete icon for later. So that's basically it. That is a full one hour course on how to build agent operating systems, how to automate anything, how to build your own custom workflows.

If you want my full setup you can get that inside the ARP Alpha boardroom and you can get the amazing community that's all using this sort of stuff. You can connect with me personally, you can direct message me anytime you need anything and thanks so much for watching. I will see you in the next one. Cheers, bye-bye.
