Okay.. @akshay_pachaarโs Hermes article was already top-tier, but his new 47-minute walkthrough is INSANE ๐คฏ
Skip Netflix, grab a coffee, and watch this masterclass on how to build self-improving, 24/7 autonomous agents locally on your machine ๐โ
Hermes Agent Mobile update just went out!
Here are some new features added:
- Cron job management
- Goal management and /goal slash command
- Memory editing
- Live Activities / Dynamic Island
- Active Profiles New Icons
THIS GUY OPENED OBSIDIAN AND SAW HIS ENTIRE KNOWLEDGE AS A NETWORK AND HE BUILT IT IN 90 DAYS
one note at a time and one link at a time
now the graph shows him what he actually thinks about and not what he assumed he cared about
six months ago he had 200 isolated notes sitting in folders nobody visits
today every idea he has connects to something he wrote in the past
a thought from january becomes context for a decision in may without him remembering january even happened
his coworkers are still searching for files by name and finding nothing useful
the only difference is he stopped filing and started linking
his notes are not stored they are connected
like & bookmark this if youโve been using obsidian as a filing cabinet this whole time
The top Hermes integrations to give your agent superpowers:
1. Obsidian
The Karpathy-style second brain, but one that talks back.
Every note, page, and backlink in the vault becomes live context. The agent doesn't just store knowledge, it reasons over it across everything that's been written and saved.
2. Reddit
Unfiltered opinions from real users on any product, niche, or problem.
No SEO fluff, no corporate blogs. Just raw signal from people who actually use the thing. One of the best research integrations for market validation.
3. InsForge
A full agentic backend behind one semantic layer.
Auth, database, storage, edge functions, all accessible without wiring five services together. The agent reasons about backend primitives directly instead of calling disconnected APIs.
Closest analogy: a PaaS built for agents.

4. GitHub
Code, issues, PRs. Turns Hermes into an engineering teammate that can actually read the repo.
Essential for anyone shipping software.
5. Firecrawl
Web search designed specifically for agents.
Returns clean structured data instead of raw HTML, which means faster responses and fewer tokens burned per query. Worth keeping on by default.

6. YouTube transcripts
Converts any video into searchable text. Hour-long podcasts, tutorials, conference talks, all become indexed notes in seconds.
Easily the most underrated research integration in the stack.
7. Google Workspace
Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Sheets through one connector.
An agent that can't check the inbox, read the calendar, or write to shared docs is basically decorative. This should probably be the first integration anyone enables.
8. Discord
Ideal for channel-based automation.
Hermes can be plugged into specific channels with dedicated workflows in each. Support tickets from email can be scanned, categorized, and dropped into an organized channel every morning without anyone lifting a finger.
9. Stripe
Revenue, refunds, subscription changes, failed charges, all surfaced through a single question instead of clicking through dashboards.
"How many trials converted last week" or "which customers downgraded this month" gets a direct answer. Turns Stripe from a payment processor into a queryable business intelligence layer.
10. Bland (or Twilio)
Gives Hermes a voice for real phone calls. Booking reservations, confirming appointments, following up on invoices.
The call recordings are worth listening to just for entertainment.
11. Graphiti (by Zep)
Real-time knowledge graphs that build structured relationships from conversations and documents.
Instead of flat vector similarity, the agent traverses typed connections between entities. The difference between "find similar text" and "understand how things actually relate."

12. FireFlies
Every meeting transcript, fully searchable. "What did that client say about pricing last month" gets answered instantly instead of scrubbing through a 45-minute recording.
That said, if youโre looking to set up Hermes, I wrote a full deep dive covering the Hermes agentโs architecture, memory system, self-evolving skills, GEPA optimization, and how to set up multiple specialized agents.

There's a free open source AI agent that just got the biggest update of its life.
Hermes Agent V0.14 just shipped. Here's what's wild:
โ One line install. Type pip install hermes-agent. You're set up in 60 seconds.
โ Browser actions are 180 times faster than the old version.
โ Grok 4.3 is built in. One million token context. Use your Super Grok login.
โ Generate text, images, voice, and short videos from one chat.
โ Search X in real time. Pull live posts, sentiment, and tool drops.
โ Computer use now works with Grok and GPT. Not just Claude.
โ The proxy trick. Run Codex and Aider on your existing Claude or GPT subscription.
Other AI tools forget you. This one remembers and runs in the background.
The people who set this up on one daily task this week will get a real assistant by next month.
HERMES AGENT JUST GOT A FULL NATIVE DESKTOP APP. MULTI-AGENT MANAGEMENT, PERSISTENT MEMORY AND AUTONOMOUS WORKFLOWS ALL IN ONE PLACE.
No more CLI only. Run your 24/7 self-evolving AI agent from a proper desktop UI.
Too Short, 4Tay, Hugh E MC and IMP were all happening the same time as Ice T and NWA.. so calling LA music "the foundation" is misleading and false. Just because the Bay chose independence first doesn't erase the pillars planted.
Much better, and btw real men / gangsters,hustlers etc leave family women & children out of man business, itโs not ๐ฅถ to disrespect motherโs over rap beef. Take care, goofy with a โ #opensubliminal#outmackyourself
MASSIVE Hermes Agent update this week.
7 new features you need to be taking advantage of immediately:
1. Improved memory/session search. Hermes now automatically logs every session from every day into memory. Meaning you can ask "what did we work on on April 15th?"
2. Background tasks: use /background at anytime to give a task to Hermes that it will complete in the background. Meaning you can give a bunch of background tasks and still have it perform a main task simultaneously. Perfect for multitasking.
3. xAI oath: login with your existing Grok account and use that as your orchestrator. No need to pay extra for other AI accounts. Awesome of xAI to allow this.
4. X posting and fetching. If you use your Grok oauth, you can now use Hermes to search, find, and create posts. Really nice X integration for your agent
5. Codex CLI. Your agent can now natively use Codex CLI. Meaning you can give your agent a coding task and it will spin up Codex CLI by itself to vibe code for you. Very powerful
6. Native AI videos. Hermes agent can now use a number of tools to generate its own AI videos. This includes the Grok oauth from earlier. So if you plug that in you can now use Grok Imagine to build videos in seconds.
7. Auto Kanban tasks. If you open up your Hermes kanban board ('hermes dashboard' in your terminal) you can drop goals into the triage category and Hermes will automatically break it down into tasks and assign to subagents. Really powerful way to get big tasks done quickly
Highly recommend taking advantage of all of these immediately if you want to stay on the cutting edge
