011. What an Agent Operating System Is and How It Works

An agent operating system is a system where all your AI agents work together. Instead of using one agent alone, you link many agents so they can share memory, tools, and tasks. This lets you automate big projects like coding, HR management, and SEO.

In this episode, Julian Goldie explains how the Agent OS connects agents like Hermes, Claude, and custom GPTs. You can plug in free API routers like OmniRoot and 9Router to save money. The system also has a memory system, Notebook LM (now called Gemini Notebooks), and Antigravity Gemini 5.6 Flash built in.

022. Main Features of the Agent Operating System

  • New Wake Word system for Hermes – Just released, lets you wake the agent with a voice command.
  • Free code with two free API routers – OmniRoot and 9Router are built in so you can run agents without paying for tokens.
  • New free AI Coder – Code, preview, view the workspace, see history, and check previous creations.
  • Memory system – Agents can remember past conversations and tasks.
  • Goal mode – Tells an agent to keep working on a goal for days without stopping.
  • Voice agent (Hermes Apollo) – Great for teaching languages or anything on a call.
  • Video manager – Researches a topic, writes a script, creates a voiceover, and makes videos automatically.

These features make the Agent OS powerful for many use cases. You can pick which agents and tools you want to combine.

033. How to Set Up the Agent Operating System

  1. Get the Agent OS zip file from the AI Profit Boardroom community or your source.
  2. Unzip the file on your computer.
  3. Open the agent that came with the zip file. This agent will help you set up the system.
  4. Tell the agent exactly what you want. For example, “I want an HR agent that stores history.”
  5. Test the agent. See if it does what you asked.
  6. Give feedback to the agent. If something breaks, describe the problem and let the agent fix it.
  7. Iterate: describe, test, give feedback – until the agent works perfectly.
  8. Optional: Plug in free API routers (OmniRoot, 9Router) to run without paying for tokens.

Julian used this exact three-step formula (describe, test, give feedback) to build custom features with Claude and 9Router in the episode.

044. How to Use the Agent OS for Real Tasks

In the episode, Julian shows several examples. First, for an HR agent, he recommends creating a custom GPT. You can train it on your company policies, upload knowledge files, and share it with your team.

It stores history naturally. This is the simplest solution.

For education technology, use the voice agent (Hermes Apollo) to teach languages. Custom train it for language lessons. Or use the video manager to create course videos.

Just give it a topic, and it writes a script and makes a voiceover.

For SEO automation, a community member built a fully automated SEO machine in one day. You can do the same by combining Hermes with Goal mode. Goal mode lets the agent work for days on tasks like research and content creation without stopping.

If you want to build custom features, speak to the setup agent from the zip file. Explain what you want, test it, and give feedback until it works.

055. Results, Tests and Comparisons Shown

Julian shares several important comparisons. According to Open Router data, Hermes Agent is the most used app on the platform. Three times more tokens are used with Hermes Agent than with Claude.

This shows how popular Hermes is.

Julian personally prefers Claude because of the Claude model Fable 5. But he understands why people choose Hermes Agent: you can use free or local APIs, and you can customize it more. You can build custom workflows like the Hermes Oracle.

When testing 9Router inside the Agent OS, it broke at first. But after giving the agent advice and testing again, Julian got it working. This proves the iterate-and-fix method works.

Goal mode can code for days continuously. This makes it great for long-running automation projects.

066. Tips, Limits and Mistakes to Avoid

  • Start simple. For a team HR agent, use a custom GPT. Julian says the simplest solution is usually the best. Only move to advanced tools like Buzz if you really need them.
  • Test and iterate. When building custom features, describe what you want, test it, and give feedback. Don’t expect it to work perfectly the first time.
  • Watch token costs. The Agent OS can use many tokens. Use the token minimization playbook to reduce usage. Or plug in free APIs (OmniRoot, 9Router) to run for free.
  • Don’t replace the Agent OS. Most people adapt it, not rewrite it. Speak to the setup agent to add custom modules instead of building from scratch.
  • Be careful with Pi. Pi is powerful but takes much more work to set up than Hermes. Hermes is simpler and more ready out of the box.
  • Fable 5 is still available in Claude. Anthropic didn’t remove it. It’s better than Opus because Opus is too slow.

077. Who the Agent OS Is For and Why It Matters

The agent operating system is for anyone who wants to automate complex tasks without coding from scratch. Business owners, marketers, educators, and developers can all use it. In the episode, Julian shows examples for HR, SEO, education, and video creation.

Why it matters: You can build a system where agents work together 24/7. One member automated SEO for his business in a single day. Another wants to build education tech.

The voice agent can teach languages on a call. The video manager creates course videos automatically. With free APIs and token minimization, you can run it for very little cost.

You also get access to the AI Profit Boardroom community with weekly coaching calls and a map to meet local builders. This support makes it easier to get started and troubleshoot.
