Full Hermes Agent Tutorial (Desktop) 🧠 A Useful Agentic AI Workflow

Okay, there we go. We can now launch the Hermes desktop. Most AI tools are as capable at day one as they are at 100. They don't necessarily learn and evolve over time. You learn it, but it doesn't learn you. Hermes is different. The more you use it, the better it gets at your

specific work, your task, what you want it to do automatically. Not because you trained it or told it to do that, but because it trains itself. It compounds and learns from its behavior over time. It's built into the Hermes architecture. It's by design. It's built by an actual research company that specializes in

training open models. Hermes by Nous Research. Nous meaning mind or intellect in Greek, and Hermes being the messenger god. So, together we get an agent that thinks and delivers. Hi, my name is Callum, also known as Waterloos, and welcome to today's video on setting up and running your Hermes agent. AI is getting better all the time, but it's

still pretty unpredictable. We need ways to systematize how they operate so that they do what we want predictably, and they get better at it over time. Hermes watches for recurring workflows, writes reusable skills from them, and then loads those skills the next time it recognizes a similar job. In today's video, I'll show you how to get Hermes

set up in just a few minutes with a local and a cloud model, how to connect it to your favorite messaging app so you can reach your agent from anywhere, how to run your first automation that delivers to your phone each day. I'll also show you why Hermes connects so naturally to Obsidian and the LLM Wiki

through its existing skills. If you find this video helpful, please like, hype, and subscribe as I appreciate your support a lot. Now, let's set up your new agent. There's two major elements that I'm excited about here. The first is that it's an agent that grows with you. So, it gets smarter and better over time. It
