What is Hermes Jarvis Obsidian?

Hermes Jarvis Obsidian is a talking AI assistant that lives right inside the Obsidian note-taking app. It reads your notes out loud, builds apps for you, and remembers things you tell it. You talk to it, and it talks back in a real human-sounding voice.

It is not a toy. It listens, thinks, and responds like a real person. You tap one glowing button and speak, or you can use a wake word. Say "Hermes" or "Jarvis" from across the room, and it activates. It runs speech recognition on your own computer or through a voice tool, so it works smoothly.

Six Powers of Hermes Jarvis

Hermes Jarvis has six main powers that make it useful for work and business.

  • Talk: Speak and get a human-like response.
  • Build: Say "build me a game" or "build me a landing page" and watch it appear on screen.
  • Show: Say "show me my builds" or "show me my numbers" to see data panels.
  • Memory: Say "remember that" and it saves to your notes.
  • Do: Say "open" to open websites or apps, or give a multi-step task.
  • Brief: Say "brief me" to get a spoken summary of your notes and news.

Each power works with simple voice commands. You don't need to type or click through apps.

How to Set Up Hermes Jarvis in Obsidian

Setting up Hermes Jarvis is easy, even if you have no coding background.

  1. Open Obsidian on your computer.
  2. Get the Hermes Jarvis plugin. You can find it in the AI profit boardroom community if you want the exact agent OS setup.
  3. Install the plugin and follow the setup guide.
  4. Turn on the wake word if you want hands-free use.
  5. Connect it to your voice tool or use your computer's built-in speech.

Once installed, you can start talking to it right away. The AI profit boardroom provides the full zip file for the agent OS, so you don't build anything from scratch.

How to Use Hermes Jarvis: Examples Shown

In the episode, Julian showed how to use Hermes Jarvis for real tasks.

You can say "brief me" and it reads your notes, to-do list, and news headlines. For a community like AI profit boardroom, you say "brief me on AI profit boardroom" and it pulls up open tasks and themes.

To build, you say "build me a landing page for AI profit boardroom" and it creates it on screen. You can also say "show me my builds" to see a gallery of everything you made.

For data, say "show me the numbers for my community this week" and it shows a stats screen. For memory, say "remember that I want to post AI profit boardroom testimonials every Friday" and later ask "what do you remember about Friday posts".

To take action, say "open up the community page and pull the latest posts" or "write me three posts that explain how AI automation saves time and save them to my notes".

Results and Comparisons from the Episode

Julian compared Hermes Jarvis to other AI tools. He said most AI tools forget everything when you close the tab, but Hermes Jarvis writes to your own notes so it remembers across days.

He called it a real assistant, not a party trick. He also said it is a tool, not a toy, because it actually gets things done while you do something else.

The episode showed that it saves every build to a gallery for later use. It also keeps a clean briefing history, one entry per day. If you run today's brief five times, it updates the same copy instead of making a mess.

Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

Here are some tips from the episode to get the most out of Hermes Jarvis.

  • Use the wake word for hands-free use, like when pouring coffee.
  • Say clear commands like "brief me", "build", "show me", "remember", and "open" so it knows what to do.
  • Check the briefing history by tapping the clock icon to review past briefs.
  • Use wall mode for a full-screen command center on a second monitor.
  • Connect it to other AI agents so they share memory.

One limit: it needs a computer to run, and it works best with Obsidian.

Who Should Use Hermes Jarvis and Why It Matters

Hermes Jarvis is for anyone who wants a real AI assistant without coding. You just talk to it like a person. Julian said if you can ask a question out loud, you can run every power.

It matters because it saves time. Instead of hunting through folders and tabs, you just ask and it shows you. It helps with business growth by building landing pages, pulling data, and remembering decisions.

It runs live on Julian's Mac, and he offers the full agent OS zip file inside the AI profit boardroom. Over 38,000 community members use AI to improve their work, and this is one powerful example.
