Description

Hermes Agent Blank Slate Setup Mode: Build a Faster, Update‑Proof AI AgentThe script explains Hermes Agent’s new Blank Slate Setup Mode, which lets you build an AI agent from the ground up with only the bare minimum (model, files, terminal) and manually enable tools later. It contrasts this with the old “fully loaded” setup where every agent boots with many capabilities and can become slower after updates, citing OpenClaw’s decline as an example. Hermes now offers Quick Setup, Full Setup, and Blank Slate, launched via typing “Hermes setup” in the terminal, with tools added later through “Hermes tools/skills” (e.g., skill opt-in). Benefits highlighted include faster performance (especially on weaker devices), more security, fewer tokens, predictable behavior, and an “update-proof” configuration that won’t load tools you didn’t choose. The presenter shows using separate agent profiles to compare blank slate vs full setups and promotes the Hermes Agent OS/community and coaching at aiprofitborne.com.00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0] Blank Slate Update01:16 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=76s] Profiles Side by Side02:18 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=138s] Update Proof Minimal Boot03:59 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=239s] Setup Options Explained05:54 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=354s] Why It Matters07:32 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=452s] Use Cases and Demo08:41 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=521s] Commands to Enable Tools09:23 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=563s] Control for Client Work10:39 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=639s] Key Takeaways Recap11:17 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=677s] Agent OS Offer12:44 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2F3-ND_5w0&t=764s] Wrap Up

Hermes Jarvis: NEW Voice Activated AI Agent!

The script demos “Hermes Jarvis,” a fast, voice-activated Jarvis-style assistant that can open apps like Obsidian and Google, respond in real time, be stopped mid-response, teach basics like Japanese greetings, and discuss building a snake game. It gives a daily briefing (dated 20 June 2026) pulling from the creator’s context, including YouTube performance, tasks like restructuring an LLM wiki, transcript fixes, and a note about US consumers disliking AI in brand messaging. The creator shows an Agent OS interface with conversation history, previews of created outputs, wall mode with briefing history, and deep integration with an Obsidian-based “memory galaxy” that logs conversations automatically and blends personal and business context. They describe plans to automate SEO using stored case studies and promote getting the setup via the AI Profit Boardroom with daily updates, tutorials, community Q&A, coaching calls, and local meetups.00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg] Hermes Jarvis Demo00:14 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=14s] Voice Commands Showcase01:25 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=85s] Daily Briefing Preview02:21 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=141s] Why It Feels So Fast02:42 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=162s] History And Real Time03:44 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=224s] Obsidian Memory Context05:10 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=310s] Projects Themes Universe06:08 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=368s] Wall Mode Workflow06:41 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=401s] Real World Use Cases07:51 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=471s] Automating SEO Next08:39 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=519s] Inside Agent OS Suite09:20 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=560s] Get The Setup Boardroom09:46 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=586s] Community Coaching Outro10:27 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLI8QaOG0dg&t=627s] Final Thanks

Agent OS: Local, Obsidian, SEO, NotebookLM MCP + More

Agent OS Q&A: Hardware, Windows Setup, Local Models, SEO Workflows, NotebookLM MCP + MoreThe video tours an Agent OS “mission control” that connects AI agents, tools, CLIs, and custom workflows (including an agent Kanban, SEO setup, video automation, and an Obsidian-based memory system), then answers community questions. It covers local hardware and model suggestions (Mac Mini/Studio not ideal for local models unless high spec; RTX setups like RTX 590 and DGX Spark; Qwen 3.6 for text and Ernie for images) while noting Agent OS is lightweight if using APIs/CLIs. For Windows, it recommends native setup over WSL. It outlines agency use cases (video pipeline, SEO content deployment, and organizing clients as Obsidian project folders), shows SEO ranking examples, explains connecting NotebookLM via MCP, discusses OS/VPS options, email safety (use a sandboxed email), model choices and a personal benchmark site (goldybench.com), and describes AI Profit Boardroom access, support, updates, and coaching.00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA] Agent OS Overview00:56 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=56s] Local Hardware Models02:14 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=134s] Windows Setup Choices02:45 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=165s] Agency Use Cases04:45 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=285s] SEO Wins Examples05:43 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=343s] NotebookLM MCP Integration07:02 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=422s] OS VPS Hosting Options08:44 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=524s] Model Picks Benchmarks10:44 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=644s] Custom Builds Showcase11:23 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=683s] Automation Email Safety13:30 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=810s] More Community Q&A15:12 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHM6JI5XIIA&t=912s] Wrap Up Join Boardroom

Daily AI Update: Agent OS, Fusion VS Fable 5 + Goldiebench...

Julian launches a new daily update series to document what he’s working on, what’s working, what isn’t, and what he’s learning about AI, inviting viewers to leave questions he will answer in future episodes. He shares progress on growing his Skool community, AI Profit Boardroom, started from zero in February last year and now top five all-time in its category with 173K MRR, plus 186 pages of testimonials. He demos ongoing development of an Agent Operating System built inside Claude, updated daily with features like Hermes Blank Slate, loop engineering, NotebookLM research updates, and Fusion benchmarking. He also shows Goldie Bench, a leaderboard where Claude tracks builds and judges model outputs, with Fusion currently leading. He discusses creating guides, answering community questions via long live streams, automating B-roll with multiple tools, and notes AI avatar videos outperform his human videos, while this channel will remain human-only.00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc] Daily Update Format01:02 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=62s] Growing Skool Community02:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=120s] Agent OS Live Builds03:22 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=202s] Fusion Model Testing04:40 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=280s] Goldie Bench Leaderboard07:12 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=432s] Guides and Community Q&A07:54 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=474s] Automated B-Roll Pipeline08:10 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=490s] Avatar Videos Outperform10:27 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=627s] Voice Improvements Ahead10:47 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=647s] Human Only Channel Plan11:10 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=670s] Join the Community11:40 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLTMfUv6hc&t=700s] Final Sign Off
