Use Step 3.7 Flash FREE in Hermes Agent (30-Day Access) — Setup + Real Automation DemosThe script shows how to set up the newly released Step 3.7 Flash model for free for 30 days inside Hermes Agent via Hermes News Portal, using simple terminal steps (update Hermes, run Hermes model, log in to News Portal, and select Step 3.7 Flash). It confirms the model is active, then reviews key capabilities including image and video understanding, a 256K context window, selectable reasoning levels, tool calling, and fast agentic performance. Demos include opening Claude in a browser, creating a note in Apple Notes, connecting to local Obsidian files to suggest automations, and triaging/completing a Kanban task for an AI SEO keyword strategy. The video introduces the LIFT method (learn, install, find one task, teach) for adopting new AI tools and ends by inviting viewers to join the AI Profit Boardroom for an agent operating system, tutorials, and coaching.00:00 Free Model Drop00:18 Setup in Terminal01:17 Model Specs Overview02:00 Computer Use Demos03:02 Local Obsidian Automation03:53 Quick Setup Recap04:05 Kanban Agent Workflow04:48 Why This Matters05:42 Goldie LIFT Method06:43 Teach With Skills07:02 Objections Answered07:49 Final Recap08:41 Offer and Outro

Build a No-Code Agent Operating System (Mission Control for Your AI Agents)The episode shows how to build a non-technical “agent operating system” that acts as a mission control for multiple AI agents and workflows (SEO, video, text-to-speech, images) using tools like Claude, Hermes Agent, and open-source projects such as OpenJarvis. The presenter demonstrates plugging a CLI-based agent into a cleaner UI with features like a Kanban board, shared skills, optional memory via Obsidian, and local model support via Ollama, noting it can run locally or on a VPS. They outline a repeatable “loop method”: find an agent, ask Claude for a build recipe and downsides, order it to build (with bypass permissions), and verify it works—troubleshooting with screenshots if needed—highlighting that installation can take minutes (about six) and can be rolled back.00:00 Build Your Agent OS00:32 Why Mission Control Wins00:46 Pick a GitHub Agent00:56 Hermes Mission Control Demo01:22 Local vs VPS Setup01:43 Ask Claude for the Recipe03:05 Install and Configure Jarvis03:41 Avoid Overbuilding Workflows04:34 New Models Plug In Fast05:07 Test and Troubleshoot05:52 Rollback and UI Benefits06:17 The Loop Method Framework07:14 No Code Needed Mindset07:35 Get the Agent OS Pack

How to Make Monthly Recurring Income Selling an AI Agent Operating System (No Code)The script explains how to make money by selling an “agent operating system” for small businesses: a single dashboard where multiple AI agents (e.g., for content, email, research, lead follow-up) work together with a built-in memory/context system, unlike the common “ten tabs” approach. It gives a roofing company example and recommends charging an upfront build fee plus a monthly fee to run and improve the system, using low-cost or free tools (e.g., OpenCore, self-hosted Hermes, Claude tools) to maintain profit margins. It argues clients pay for business-specific context (offers, pricing, past work, voice) more than the agents themselves, creating retention. The target customers are local businesses without IT teams, and viewers are urged to build a demo, niche down, and optionally join the AI Profit Boardroom for the OS, roadmap, tutorials, coaching, and community.00:00 Sell Agent OS00:32 What It Is01:04 Why It Sells Now01:47 Roofing Company Example02:08 Recurring Revenue Model02:38 Anyone Can Build It03:15 Agents To Use04:06 Keep Costs Low04:46 Get The Full System05:22 Clients Pay For Context06:49 Who To Sell To07:39 Youre Early Not Late08:24 How To Start Selling09:11 Final Invite And Wrap

Gemini Spark: Google’s New AI Agent That Works While You Sleep (Task + Schedule + Skill)The script explains Google’s new AI agent Gemini Spark, now live in the US, which runs in the cloud so it can keep working even when your devices are off. It connects to Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and can browse the web to complete tasks like sorting and replying to emails, booking meetings, organizing files, and capturing leads (e.g., logging booking inquiries and creating client folders automatically). Spark is framed around three concepts—Task (what to do), Schedule (when to run), and Skill (what it learns once, like writing in your email voice). The speaker cites tests from Wired and TechCrunch showing strong results plus glitches, argues businesses shouldn’t wait for perfection, notes it may cost $100/month on Google’s top plan, and promotes the AI Profit Boardroom coaching program for setup and workflows.00:00 Gemini Spark Revealed00:39 Always On Cloud Agent01:06 What Spark Can Access01:54 Tasks Schedules Skills02:55 No Tech Skills Needed03:25 Boardroom Quick Pitch04:16 Real World Tests04:55 Flaws And Why Start06:14 Business Use Cases07:04 Tool Versus Strategy07:47 Simple First Workflow08:12 Where This Is Heading08:50 Wrap Up And CTA

How to Run Multiple AI Models & Agent Profiles in Hermes Workspace (Plus Agent Swarms)This episode shows how to set up Hermes Workspace to run multiple AI models and agent profiles in one place, including switching models based on the task and running agent swarms. It walks through installing Hermes Workspace via terminal, adding multiple models with the `hermes model` command (including signing in and authorizing providers), selecting a model like Groq, and starting the required services with `hermes gateway run` and the workspace UI. The script also notes common syncing and localhost/port issues, recommends using Claude to troubleshoot setup and backend/API key syncing, and demonstrates where to add models and API keys in Workspace settings to enable model switching and multiple agent profiles.00:00 Hermes Workspace Overview00:40 Question About Models01:11 Install Workspace Setup01:34 Add Multiple Models02:15 Run Gateway And UI02:42 Fix Sync Errors With Claude04:27 Workspace Settings Models05:19 Switch Models And Keys06:24 Features And Swarms06:41 Agent OS Alternative07:36 Limitations And Updates08:13 Wrap Up And Community09:03 Final Thanks And Outro

Hermes Agent + Obsidian: Auto-Synced Memory, Skills, Profiles & Business AutomationThe video explains how to use Hermes Agent to automate work by giving it real memory and connecting it to an Obsidian “second brain” so conversations auto-sync into notes and responses become personalized. It shows how to sync Hermes to a local Obsidian folder (or link via MCP on a VPS), and discusses managing models, skills, plugins, and tools—recommending model changes via terminal while managing skills inside an agent OS/mission control to keep visible conversation history. The script also covers when to use multiple agents versus focusing on Claude and Hermes, how to create multiple Hermes profiles with separate settings and memories, and how to integrate Hermes into a business dashboard to run scheduled follow-ups and workflows. It ends by directing viewers to the AI Profit Boardroom community and trainings.00:00 Hermes Agent Overview00:29 Obsidian Second Brain Sync02:20 Models Skills and Tools Setup03:50 Multiple Profiles and Agents06:24 Integrate Hermes Into Dashboards08:34 Workflow Automation Examples09:26 Add Memory Files in Obsidian10:36 Community Trainings and Wrap Up

Hermes Agent Tool Search: Faster AI Agents That Pick the Right Tool (49% → 74%) | Hermes v0.15 UpdateThe script explains Hermes Agent’s new Tool Search feature and how it fixes a key scaling problem: loading too many tools upfront consumes context window space, slows agents down, and increases wrong tool selection. With Tool Search, Hermes keeps only core tools loaded and retrieves other tools only when needed, improving correct tool choice from 49% to 74% and maintaining speed even with large tool stacks; it activates automatically when tools exceed 10% of context. The video also highlights Hermes v0.15 improvements including faster searches, the ability to split into two specialist agents (planner and doer) that build separate skill libraries over time, and Kanban Swarms for running multiple agents collaboratively. It notes Hermes is open source from Nous Research, works with OpenClaw, can be updated via a terminal command, and showcases examples like generating a local SEO guide, keyword mapping, and video creation.00:00 Tool Search Breakthrough00:43 Why More Tools Hurt02:08 How Tool Search Works02:58 Auto Activation Explained03:23 Business Impact Examples05:18 Hermes v0.15 Extras06:39 What Is Hermes Agent07:44 Real Project Demo08:52 Bigger Picture Shift09:33 Getting Help Setup10:28 Final Takeaways
