Agent OS: Claude + Hermes AI = Superpowers!

Key Takeaways

New Agent OS gives Claude and Hermes agent superpowers. Most people using AI right now are doing it completely wrong. They've got Claude in one tab, ChatGPT in another, some random tool they saw online in a third tab. Nothing talks to each other. Nothing remembers anything. And they wonder why they're not getting results. Today, I'm going to show you Agent OS, a full operating system that connects all your AI agents in one place, and I built the whole thing in a single session. Here's why this matters. Your phone without iOS does nothing. Every app just sits there. They can't share data. They can't work together. You'd have to do everything yourself. That's exactly what most people's AI setup looks like right now. Agent OS fixes that. One dashboard, one screen. Claude, Hermes, Open Claude, all connected, all running together, all with full context of you and your business. Let me show you exactly what's inside and how I built it. When you open Agent OS, the first thing you see is Mission Control. You've got a full status panel showing every agent that's running. You can see whether Claude is online, whether Hermes is active, whether Open Claude is connected, all in real time. On the left, you've got your agent panel. Click any agent and you're straight into a live chat with it. No new tab, no copy-pasting. Just one click and you're talking directly to Claude or Hermes from the same screen. There's also a full history of every session you've had. So, if you ask Claude to do something 3 days ago, you can pull that back up instantly. Then you've got the memory section. This is where it gets interesting. Every single chat with every agent gets logged automatically. Goals you've set, journal entries you've written, notes from sessions, all of it stored in one searchable place. And here's the part most people miss. Your agents can actually read all of that. So, when you ask Hermes to help you grow the AI Profit Boardroom, it already knows what you've been working on, what your goals are, and what you've already tried. It's not starting from scratch every time. The control room for each agent is something I use every single day. You can see your API keys, your model settings, your session history, your skills and plugins. For example, inside the AI Profit Boardroom community, we've set up specific skills so Claude knows how to help with onboarding new members, writing tutorials, planning coaching calls. it's all in there. The insights tab is genuinely useful, too. You can see how many sessions you've run over the last 30 days, how many tool calls Hermes made, which models you used most, peak hours, longest sessions. It breaks down your AI usage the same way your phone breaks down your screen time, and it helps you figure out what's actually working. Now, here's the real difference between Agent OS and just opening a terminal. Terminal looks like this, lines of text, no visuals, no structure. 99% of people don't want to use it. Agent OS feels like a website you'd actually bookmark and come back to every day, because you would. I built all of this in one session with Claude, literally one session. I typed, "Build me a beautiful operating system hosted locally for managing Claude. It should feel like a mission control dashboard. Let me control my open Claude and Hermes agents from the same interface. Log every memory. Add a goal section and a journal." Claude asked a few questions about the stack. I went with the recommended setup, Next.js and Tailwind, and then it just built it. You don't write any code. You just tell Claude what you want the same way you text a friend. If you want to go deeper on setting this up and get step-by-step walk-throughs with coaching calls every week specifically on Claude and Hermes Agent OS setup, there's a 30-day roadmap inside the AI Profit Boardroom that walks you through the whole thing from day one. We've got members in there who've already set this up and are using it daily for their businesses. Link is in the description or go to aiprofitboardroom.com. Now, let me show you the part that actually gives your agents superpowers, the memory layer. I've connected Agent OS to my Obsidian vault. If you haven't used Obsidian, it's basically a local app for organizing notes, and it's become the brain behind everything. Here's what's inside my vault, all of my goals, my business structure, notes on everyone I work with, my SEO agency Goldie Agency, full documentation, every team member, every project, even personal stuff like what music I like, what I'm working on, what I'm thinking about. OMA runs in the background recording my screen and microphone all day. It takes notes on what I'm doing, creates memory entries, and syncs them to Obsidian. Right now, it's taken over 1,200 memories about me. And all of that gets fed directly to my AI agents. So, when I open Hermes inside Agent OS and say, "Based on my Obsidian vault, give me ideas on what I should automate today." It doesn't give me generic answers. It looks through my actual notes, my actual projects, and it comes back with specific ideas relevant to my business. I tested this live. I asked Hermes that exact question. It looked through my vault, saw I was working on the AI Profit Boardroom, saw my recent sessions, and came back with a list of actual automations I could run that day, specific to my community, my content, my team. That's the difference between a tool and a system. Now, let me break down how the whole thing is structured. There are four layers. Each one has a job. Together, they make the whole thing run. Layer one is the intelligence layer. That's Claude. It's wired directly into Agent OS, full tool access, MCP's connected. It can write code, read files, analyze documents, plan campaigns. You can see Claude's status live from the dashboard and click straight into it. For the AI Profit Boardroom, I use Claude to draft weekly coaching call agendas, plan content calendars, and review tutorials before they go out. One click from Mission Control. Layer two is the execution layer. That's Open Claude. Think of it like the router in your house, your phone, your laptop, your TV, they all connect through the router. Open Claude is that router for your agents. It routes tasks between them, manages sessions, and makes sure everything talks to each other. Layer three is the research layer. That's Hermes. It can run multi-step workflows. It can use skills and plugins to actually go out and do things in the world. If I need to research something or run a scheduled task, Hermes handles it. For example, I've got Hermes set up to pull together a weekly summary of what's happening in the AI space, so I can use it for the AI Profit Boardroom daily updates. It runs on its own. I just check the output. Layer four is the self layer, and this one is different from the others because it's not a tool. It's you. It's your Obsidian vault, your goals, your journal, your memory. This is the layer almost nobody builds, and it's probably the most powerful one. Because whatever new tools come out, and new ones come out every week, this layer is always relevant. It knows you. It grows with you. And the earlier you start building it, the more powerful your agents become over time. Inside Agent OS, there's a goal section where you set targets and track them. Fill bars, completion percentages. Your agents can see these goals and factor them into every response. There's a journal section where you write daily entries, text or voice, what you're working on, what's stuck, what's going well. Your agents reference this to understand where your head is at. And there's a memory section where every chat across every agent gets saved and made searchable. Your AI never forgets a conversation. It can reference something you said 6 months ago. The practical result of all four layers working together. I asked Hermes, "What should I automate today?" And it came back with a full plan based on my current goals, recent journal entries, and past sessions. Not generic advice, an actual plan for my actual business. That's what changes when you go from using AI tools to running an AI operating system. Here's a quick example. Let's say I want to plan next month's coaching calls for the AI Profit Boardroom. I go to Claude inside Agent OS. It has access to my vault, past calls, member feedback, recent AI news I've been tracking. I type, "Plan the next four coaching calls for the AI Profit Boardroom based on what members have been asking about and what's happened in AI this month." Claude pulls context from my notes and comes back with a full four-week plan, topics, structure, key points to cover. I review it. I approve it. Done. That used to take me an hour. Now it takes about 2 minutes. The dashboard is built so that all the complexity sits underneath. You don't see the code. You don't manage the files. You just click the agent you want, type what you need, and the system handles it. Your job is to be the operator, not the engineer. And if you want changes to the dashboard, you just go back to Claude and tell it what you want. Add an SEO agent. Make the UI cleaner. Add a voice input option. Claude builds it in. That's it. One thing I want to say clearly, this runs locally. Your data doesn't go to a server somewhere. It lives on your machine. Your vault lives on your machine. Your sessions run on your machine. For something that has this much personal context in it, your goals, your journal, your business notes, local is the right call. Hermes is also free to run. It's open source. You can connect it to a free API on Open Router. There's a model called R Alpha that works well, and the whole setup costs nothing to run. So, to pull it all together, Agent OS is a local first AI operating system. One dashboard, every agent connected, full memory, full context. Claude handles intelligence. Open Claude handles execution. Hermes handles research. Your Obsidian vault handles memory. You set the direction. You review the results. You scale what works. The difference between someone using disconnected AI tools and someone running Agent OS is real. Day one, it's useful. Day 30, it's a different thing entirely. Because every day it learns more about your business, your goals, what's working. It compounds. Disconnected tools don't do that. System does.
