01What Is the Hermes Agent Update?

The Hermes Agent update is the latest version of the AI agent system that Julian Goldie uses to run his business. It's not just a chat box. It's a full agent operating system with different agents for different jobs, like research, outreach, and content creation.

This update adds voice conversations, a wake word, faster responses, shared memory, and the ability for agents to talk to each other. The system is designed to save time and let you focus on other work while the agents handle repetitive tasks.

02Main Features of the Hermes Agent Update

The biggest change is real-time voice conversations. You talk to your AI out loud like a phone call, and it answers while still thinking. You can even interrupt it, and it will stop, listen, and change what it's saying.

  • Wake word: Say "hey" plus your AI's name from across the room, and it wakes up and listens. No buttons or typing needed.
  • Speed: The first word comes in under one second now, instead of over four seconds before.
  • Shared memory: All agents share the same memory, so context you give one agent is known by all others automatically.
  • Research with sources: The research feature shows real sources, so the AI doesn't just make things up.
  • Artifacts: On desktop, you can see everything you've built with your AI in one place across all devices.
  • Agent-to-agent (A2A): Your agents can find, talk to, and work with other agents.
  • Real-time corrections: You can correct the AI while it's working without stopping everything.
  • Smart approvals: The AI checks with you before risky actions like deleting files.

03How to Set Up the Hermes Agent Update

To get the full agent OS that Julian uses, you need to join the AI Profit Boardroom. The system is zipped and ready to install, so you can set it up the same day you join.

  1. Go to the AI Profit Boardroom using the link in the description.
  2. Join the community and download the agent OS zip file.
  3. Install the system on your computer or server.
  4. Follow the included setup guide to configure your agent profiles.
  5. Start using the voice chat, wake word, and all the agents.

You don't have to build anything from scratch. The voice agent, outreach agent, research agent, and others are already built for you. You just plug them in and go.

04How to Use the Hermes Agent Update

Using the update is simple. You can talk to your AI out loud, and it responds in real time. You can interrupt it by talking over it, and it adjusts.

You can also use the wake word from across the room to start a conversation.

For daily tasks, you can give a command like, "Write me a post explaining how AI automation saves business owners hours every week." Your content agent writes it, your research agent adds real sources, and your outreach agent helps get it in front of the right people. This shows how multiple agents work together on one goal without you touching them.

You can also correct the AI while it's working. If it goes the wrong direction, type a quick correction and it adjusts on the spot. Use the artifacts feature on desktop to preview web pages safely in a sandbox before using them.

And when you're testing something risky, the system asks for your approval first.

05Results and Comparisons in the Update

The main improvement is speed. Tasks that used to take a few minutes now happen in seconds. The first word of a voice response comes in under one second, compared to over four seconds before.

That might not sound like much, but it adds up to hours saved when you use AI all day.

In the episode, Julian showed a live conversation with his agent OS. He said the wake word and the AI jumped straight into the chat. He also showed how the research feature backs up claims with real sources, similar to other research tools you may have used.

The update makes the system feel smoother overall. The shared memory means you don't have to repeat yourself across agents, and the agent-to-agent communication lets agents work as a team, which Julian says is the whole point of running a system like this.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

One tip is to use the wake word from anywhere in the room, so you don't have to click or type. That saves a few seconds every time you start a session.

Another tip is to use real-time corrections. If the AI is going the wrong direction, you don't have to stop and explain everything again. Just type a quick correction and it adjusts.

A limit is that the system is only available through the AI Profit Boardroom. You can't get it for free. Also, the smart approvals feature is there for a reason: it checks before risky actions, so don't disable it if you don't want accidents.

A common mistake is to treat the system like a single chat box. Remember that you have different agents for different jobs. Use the right agent for each task.

Also, rely on the research sources to avoid the AI making things up. And don't forget to preview your work in the sandbox before using it on your real system.

07Who Is the Hermes Agent Update For?

This update is for business owners and professionals who want to save hours every week by automating repetitive tasks. If you're tired of doing everything by hand and want a team of AI agents working for you, this system is where you start.

It's also for people who are tired of using a single chat box and want a more organized approach. With profiles for different jobs, shared memory, and agent-to-agent teamwork, it's designed for anyone who uses AI daily for content, outreach, research, or other tasks. Even if you're new to AI, the ready-to-install system makes it easy to get started.
