01What Are Hermes Agent Systems?

Hermes Agent systems are five custom upgrades Julian Goldie built to make Hermes more powerful, fun, and useful. These systems include a voice agent, a mission control dashboard, a news aggregator, a unified memory system, and an SEO agent. Together, they automate tasks, save time, and bring more traffic and leads to your business.

Each system is free to use after you build it yourself (or get Julian's setup). They work together seamlessly so you don't have to jump between different tools. Julian shows exactly how each one works in this episode.

02The 5 Main Hermes Agent Upgrades

  • Hermes Apollo: A voice agent that uses your ChatGPT subscription (not the API). You can change voices, ask it to open apps, and it stays active even when you switch tabs.
  • Mission Control: A customizable dashboard where you run Hermes, Claude, and other agents. It looks futuristic and feels fun, unlike the boring terminal or desktop version.
  • Hermes Oracle: A scheduled task that pulls the latest news from your industry. It shows trending topics by score, suggests hooks and angles, and lets you draft social posts or publish blogs to WordPress.
  • Memory System (Obsidian): Syncs all your AI agents so they remember what you did elsewhere. It's open source and free, and you can design it into a beautiful UI.
  • Search OS SEO Agent: Helps you rank on Google and AI search engines. Julian shows a site that grew from zero to over 1,300 clicks per day using AI SEO.

03How to Set Up These Systems

  1. Get Hermes Agent installed on your computer (follow Julian's Hermes training).
  2. Set up Hermes Apollo by linking your ChatGPT subscription inside Codex (not the API).
  3. Build your mission control dashboard: use Julian's zip file from the AI Profit Boardroom or design your own with HTML/CSS.
  4. Install Hermes Oracle: create a scheduled task that fetches news from your industry (customize topics in the settings).
  5. Connect Obsidian as your memory system: install the free open-source app, then connect it to all your AI agents so they read and write from the same folders.
  6. Integrate the Search OS SEO agent with Hermes Agent (or Claude) to auto-generate content that ranks on Google.

04How to Use Each Hermes System

Hermes Apollo: Click on the voice agent icon in your dashboard. Say commands like “Open Google” or “Check my Obsidian memory and show what I worked on recently.” It works instantly and you can switch back to typing while it listens.

Mission Control: Use the dashboard to switch between agents (Hermes, Claude, etc.). Click on custom workflows like “video agent” or type a request such as “Build a useful app based on my memory system.”

Hermes Oracle: Open the Oracle tab. It shows a list of trending news with a score. Click on any story to see suggested hooks and angles.

Use the buttons to draft social media content or publish a blog post directly to your WordPress site.

Memory System: All agents automatically update a shared Obsidian vault. Click on any dot in the visual UI to see what was remembered and when. You never have to type memories manually.

Search OS SEO Agent: Ask the agent to research keywords and generate SEO articles. It publishes them to your site automatically. You can track traffic growth (Julian shows a site with 1,300+ clicks per day).

05Results and Comparisons Shown in the Episode

Julian shows a website that grew from zero to over 1,300 clicks per day using the Search OS SEO agent with Hermes. That traffic comes from Google and AI search engines. He contrasts the new dashboard with the old boring terminal or desktop versions—most people dislike the terminal unless they are developers.

He also compares the synced memory system to the typical experience with multiple agents: “99% of people struggle because agents don't share memory.” Claude won't help you use ChatGPT, so you must build your own solution. Obsidian solved that problem for him.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't automate just for fun: Only automate tasks that actually grow your business (leads, traffic, customers). Avoid shiny object syndrome.
  • Build your own memory system: No single AI company is incentivized to sync with competitors. Use open-source tools like Obsidian to unify them.
  • Customize the dashboard: The default desktop or terminal is boring. Spend time making it look and feel yours—it makes you actually want to use it.
  • Use the voice agent with continuous chat: You can speak while waiting for a response from the text agent—switch between them to save time.
  • Spend daily improvement time: Julian spends 3-4 hours each day improving his system. You don't need that much, but regular tweaks make a big difference.

07Who Should Use Hermes Agent Systems and Why

These systems are for anyone who uses AI agents seriously and wants to automate real growth, not just play with tools. If you are a business owner, marketer, or creator who wants more traffic, leads, and personalized responses, this setup is for you.

Julian built it because he wanted all his agents to work together—synced memory, fun interface, and practical outputs like SEO content. The AI Profit Boardroom community gives you the full zip file, tutorials, weekly coaching calls, and a map to connect with local agent builders. It makes automating less lonely and more effective.
