Automate Anything with Hermes Agent OS (Build a Real AI Travel Agent in 30 Minutes)The video demonstrates how to automate tasks using Hermes Agent OS by building a real AI-powered personal travel agent for an AI Profit Boardroom member planning a 9-day trip to Manila. The presenter walks through the Hermes Agent OS framework: identify the time-consuming task, engineer a single-purpose agent with a clear role/goal/tools, deploy it on a real workflow, test and “catch the gaps,” then expand to new use cases and systemize via SOPs. They show Hermes and Claude building the project structure and files in parallel, creating a skill wrapper and a simple local mini-app (trip monitor), noting that an Amadeus API key is needed for travel data. The episode emphasizes shipping an 80% working agent over perfection, scaling via multi-agent stacks, and that setup can be done in plain English without coding, often in under 30 minutes, plus details on the AI Profit Boardroom community and tools/models used.00:00 Automate Anything Intro00:47 Travel Agent Use Case01:42 Hermes Agent OS Framework02:35 Build the Agent Skill02:54 Deploy Test Improve Loop03:36 Agent Stacks and Teams04:18 APIs and Local Mini App05:06 Scale with SOPs06:12 Debunk Common Objections06:54 Framework and Community Offer08:10 Live Q&A Wrap Up

Today, I want to show you how to automate anything with Hermes Agent OS. And this is the most powerful AI agent in the world right now. And this framework shows you exactly how to use it. So you can automate anything, your work, your life, your side projects, whatever is eating up your time right now.
This can handle it. And by the end of this video, you're going to have it set up and running for you, saving you hours every single week and giving you your time back. I want to do a real live agent build right now with Hermes Agent in front of you today. You're going to get a full automation built from scratch.
So you can copy it and use it on anything that you want and stick with me because later in this video, I'm going to show you the one thing that makes a Hermes Agent OS so powerful. That once you see it, you'll never go back to doing things manually again. It's the reason some people have AI handling everything for them right now, whilst everyone else is still doing it all manually. Let's get into it.
All right. So today we're going to be setting up a custom automation for an AI Profit Boarding member. And Julian Boss has said, real world example with all the various AI tools out there, could you create a tutorial on how to build something super useful? For example, like an AI powered personal travel agent, right?
So he's a real world use case. He's planning a trip to Manila, travel windows between these days, wants to stay for exactly nine days at this place. What's the most practical way to build a travel agent, right? So here's how you can do it.
So if we want to use Hermes Agent to help us build this, we can open up the terminal window here, and we're just going to run this with Hermes Agent. By the way, I do this for members every day inside the AI Profit Boarding, if you want me to do it for you too. And what we're going to do from here is we're going to say, okay, help me automate this, right? And we'll plug that in, and then we'll get Hermes Agent to help us set this up and to start automating this workflow, right?
Now, the first place I will start with this process is I'm using the Hermes Agent OS system, right? Which is my framework for building an AI powered agent or process that runs itself, right? And this is the framework behind every automation that I build, every agent that I deploy, every real world use case that I show on this channel. And so the first thing you want to do is really look at, okay, what's before you build anything, find the task that's using up all your time, right?
It could be research, it could be outreach, whatever you're spending most of your time on, right? You want to find it, name it and own it, right? Then you're going to engineer the agents. You're going to build a Hermes agent with one specific job, right?
Like you can see right here. So you can give it a goal. For example, you're a travel agent specialist. You can give it a role, sorry.
And then the goal would be like, find the cheapest flight, right? You can give it the tools and now it knows exactly what to do, right? So you can see it's beginning to build out that project structure over here. If you have any questions as we go along, by the way, feel free to ask.
So you can see it's beginning to build this. We could also do this with Claude as well. Claude is another way to set up so we can go inside Claude here and do the same sort of thing. So whatever you prefer, you can roll with it.
We can run both tasks inside Claude and Hermes at the same time, just see what happens. And then from here, you want to run it in the real world, right? So you deploy the agent on a real task, which is what we're doing over here. You run it, you watch what happens, and then you catch the gaps, right?
So with these sorts of things, it's not going to be perfect. First time you use it, just bear in mind with that, but you're going to catch the gaps when you test out. So done is always better than perfect and a running agent. This 80% right beats a perfect one, still being designed, right?
So that's what we're doing with the Hermes agent OS system that we've got here. And we're going to set up as a skill inside Hermes, which means that anytime we use Hermes, you know, whether that's on Telegram or anything like that, a skill inside Hermes and then call upon it. Now, whilst we're waiting for this to be done, the other thing to note here is like you can multiply this with agent stacks. Right.
So one agent is good, but you can have a team of agents that's unstoppable and you can connect them together, right? Agent one could be, for example, like a SEO research agent. Then you could have a separate Hermes agent profile for creating content. You could have a number one for creating avatar videos, but you can have multiple of them, right?
You can see how Hermes is now creating the skill wrapper for this AI travel agent planner. Claude is doing the same thing, but it's approaching it in a separate way, right? So you can see it's actually building the files in parallel, setting all of this up as you can see. And then we can say, you can see here is actually built the backend of it.
As you can see right here, right? We do need to get some APIs for this, but we can do that in a second. And then it can actually set up like a simple mini app on a website where we can use this right now for travel related stuff. We just need to get an API key.
We can get Amadeus API. So let's go off and do that. And now you can see, for example, we've got this agent ready to go, right? So we've set this up.
It's right. Here's the trip monitor is the details. Then we can put the details in here and just start using that, right? Obviously you need to plug in your API key from Amadeus to get this working.
That's essentially how you can get an app running for whatever you want, right? And you can see it's hosted locally here. So no one else has access to it and that is the setup with the trip monitor details. And so you can build and automate anything that you want with Hermes agent, especially using this operating system that we've talked about.
And it's pretty simple. And then the final step is just expand to new cases, right? Once the workflow is running, what else could you automate? What else could an agent handle?
What else could you offer clients or what niches would be interested in this? Right? You can expand, you can duplicate and you can grow from there, right? And then you just systemize it, right?
The main thing here as well is as you go off and you start building SOPs and that sort of thing, you want to systemize it so that you can come back to these SOPs whenever you want to. That's actually one of the reasons that I built out. The AR Profit Boarding is because everything is organized and I can just, if I would need like the SOP, for example, for Hermes and computer use, I can just type that in here and then get access to computer use agents inside here. Or if I'm like, Oh, I need to get the SOP for open web UI.
Here it is. Boom. I can just get access and type it into the search bar. So whatever you want to build and learn, you can do it using this process, but just make sure you organize it into SOPs as well.
Right? And the goal isn't just to automate one task. The goal is to build like an entire operating system for everything that runs on AI and automates in the background. That is the Hermes agent OS, right?
And everything is just built on top of it. Now, some people say I need to learn how to code to build AI agents. As you saw today, it was pretty easy to set up super fast, right? And Hermes agent just lets you build powerful automations in plain English.
So you type what the agent wants to do, what you want the agent to do. It figures out how to do it. No coding required, no Python, just clear instructions, right? Also some people say AI agents are only useful for tech companies and developers.
So the biggest wins right now are happening in the most ordinary stuff. I've just shown you how to automate a travel agent. It could be real estate, it could be e-comm, could be freelancing, et cetera, marketing agencies. Other people say it's too complicated to set up, right?
The first working agent, as you've seen today, could be running in 30 minutes or under 30 minutes. So it's not days, it's not weeks, it's 30 minutes in a good API. That's literally it. So if you want to get the full framework of how to use this, 100 prompts and a 30 day roadmap for implementing this into your business, feel free to check this full guide out.
I'll put it inside the AI Profitable Boardroom classroom over here in the daily updates section. It's called the Hermes agent OS system. And that's basically how you can automate anything with a Hermes agent. Pretty amazing.
So I've created that custom automation for Julian. If you want me to do stuff like this for you as well, then I do it for free for members inside the AI Profitable Boardroom. This is just like a little bonus I give members to help them. And hopefully that helps you understand how you can automate anything with Hermes and the agentic OS, right?
This is my AI automation community that helps you save time, grow and learn and scale with AI agents and AI automation. Inside the community, you can ask questions, get help and support. It's a really active community with loads of cool people, lots of cool posts, very interesting stuff that people are working on as well. You can go inside the calendar here and jump on four weekly coaching calls, share your screen, ask questions about your setup, et cetera.
Inside the classroom, you get access to all my trainings, all my best courses, et cetera. And we have a new daily updates here. If you like advanced tutorials like you've seen today. Inside the map, you can connect with members in your local city and area so that you can meet other cool people doing similar things to you.
And that's all inside here. Link in the comments description or go to the AI Profitable Boardroom. Let's see what questions we've got here. Brian says, yes I'm obsessed with AI.
I don't know if I'm learning as much as you. Thank you though. Trying to make a dream come true. Thanks for the tips.
Happy to help. Christopher says, Hey, that's my flaw. Waiting to ship until perfect. Yeah.
As you've seen today, like that setup will not be perfect. Obviously you need to connect the APIs as well, but you can see, you can see that we can quickly build something, create like a first prototype and then just test and improve it from there. It misses what models are you typically using when creating these systems, apps and agents? So Hermes agent is the one that I use for this.
And then we use that with the free API step 3.5 flash. And if ever in doubt, ask AI. There you go. Is the digital, is this, this is the real Julian Gold.
Yes. I'm currently using open router with free models. Then let it switch to auto on its own. Is that one way to build stuff like this with flexible model?
Absolutely. You can switch between APIs like you've seen today.
