01What Is an Agent Operating System and How It Works

An agent operating system is a unified platform that connects multiple AI agents, tools, and memory systems into one dashboard. It lets you automate complex workflows using voice commands or typed prompts.

In this episode, Julian Goldie shows a real working version called Hermes JARVIS. It uses APIs and CLIs from models like Claude, ChatGPT, and Hermes to run tasks in real time. The system stores memories in an Obsidian vault, giving agents context about you and your past conversations.

You can chat with it, put it in war mode, and see previews of its actions. The agents handle everything from research and content writing to video generation and social media posting.

02Key Features of the Agent Operating System

The agent OS includes several built-in agents and tools that work together. Here are the main features Julian demonstrated:

  • Hermes JARVIS – A real-time voice-activated agent you can speak to. It uses ChatGPT’s real-time API and shows previews of its actions.
  • Hermes Oracle – Consults the web for the latest news, links to Twitter posts, and drafts content ideas automatically.
  • Video Agent – Generates AI avatar videos with scripting, research, editing, and b-roll in one prompt.
  • SEO Content Generator – Creates and deploys articles to websites using keywords from Google Search Console.
  • Memory Galaxy – A second brain that stores all memories in an Obsidian vault, updated automatically by agents.

03How to Set Up Your Agent OS (Step by Step)

  1. Choose a host – Run the system locally on a Mac Studio or similar machine for better security. Avoid VPS unless you follow security guides.
  2. Install Obsidian – This free app stores your databases locally. It acts as the memory vault for your agents.
  3. Connect cloud models – Use APIs and CLIs for models like Claude and ChatGPT. You do not need a local GPU for cloud models.
  4. Download the OS package – Get the pre-built agent operating system zip file. Inside you get the dashboard, agent files, and tutorials.
  5. Follow the video tutorial – Each module includes a step-by-step video showing how to install and configure it.

04Using the Agent OS in Practice

Julian walked through several examples during the episode. First, he opened Hermes Oracle to find the latest trending topic. He clicked a button to quote the news and draft social media content automatically.

Then he showed the SEO tab. He entered one keyword and a case study. The system created an article and deployed it to a website with one click.

It formatted the content beautifully and made it unique, not spammy.

The video agent works similarly. Give it a single prompt, and it researches, scripts, edits, and generates an AI avatar video with b-roll. Julian also demonstrated the memory feature – every conversation with Hermes JARVIS is transcribed and stored in Obsidian so agents know your history.

05Results and Tests from the Episode

Julian mentioned several results from using the agent OS. On the Goldie Bench, new models like Sakana Fugu scored high. But he stressed that models change fast – focus on systems, not scores.

He showed examples of content created earlier: articles for five different websites from one keyword. The videos looked professional and were generated quickly. He also displayed the Obsidian vault with full conversation transcripts, showing the system remembers everything.

Members inside the AI Profit Boardroom set up the system in 30 minutes, even if they were not technical. One user named Rick said he created the whole system without coding background.

06Important Tips, Limits, and Common Mistakes

Run the agent OS locally on a Mac Studio, not a VPS. Julian warned that VPS setups can be scraped and hacked, as seen with OpenClaw issues. If you must use a VPS, follow the security training provided.

Do not worry about which AI model is best today. Models get replaced quickly. Instead, build systems that work with any model.

This makes your setup anti-fragile and future-proof.

You do not need to be a coder. The interface is button-based. Julian said everyone learns from zero because the technology is new.

Testimonials show non-technical people setting it up in under a day.

07Who This Agent OS Is For

This system helps anyone who wants to automate online work. Julian showed how it benefits content creators, marketers, and business owners. You can generate articles, social posts, and videos without manual effort.

If you run an agency, you can McDonaldize your processes so any team member can operate them. The agent OS makes complex tasks simple with one-click actions.

If you have a niche project – like building a heliobiology news service from social media posts – the tools inside the OS can scale that up automatically. It is also useful for people who want a personal AI assistant like JARVIS to manage daily tasks and research.
