01What Is the Hermes Super Kanban Agent?
The Hermes Super Kanban Agent is an AI-powered project management system that turns your ideas into finished products. You drop in one idea, and a team of AI agents plans, builds, and ships it for you. You barely do a thing.
It is the heart of an agent operating system. You type a single sentence, and the agent shapes it into a full plan. You approve the plan, and the agent builds the project in the background.
This is a major upgrade from dragging cards on a to-do list or chatting back and forth in a window like it's 2023.
The agent understands what you want and shows you the plan before building. This human-in-the-loop step ensures you stay in control. You can see exactly where you are at all times, from idea to finished product.
02Main Features of the Super Kanban Agent
The Hermes Super Kanban Agent has several key features that make it powerful and easy to use.
- Self-driving board: The board runs itself. You drop an idea, approve it once, and the agents do the rest.
- Human approval: Before building, the agent shows you the plan and asks you to approve or reject it.
- Memory log: Everything is saved in your Obsidian vault, so the agent remembers past projects and can build on them.
- Self-checker: The agent checks its own work before handing it to you, ensuring quality.
- Live preview: You can preview completed projects in the gallery right there on the board.
- Team of agents: A project manager plus specialized agents like a research agent, designer, and coder work together.
These features mean you don't have to build anything by hand. If you can type a sentence and press enter, you can run this.
03How to Set Up the Super Kanban Agent
Setting up the Hermes Super Kanban Agent is simple. Here is how you get started.
- Join the AI Profit Boardroom to get the full zip file of the agent operating system.
- Download the zip file from the boardroom.
- Install the zip file into your Obsidian vault.
- Open the board and you're ready to go.
You don't need to build anything from scratch. The zip file is ready to install, so you can have the self-driving board running in minutes. You can then use it to build blogs, landing pages, and tools for your business on autopilot.
The link to join is in the comments and description of the episode. If you want to start with the basics, you can join the free AI Success Lab community.
04How to Use the Super Kanban Agent
Using the Hermes Super Kanban Agent is straightforward. You start with an idea. For example, you type: "Build a beautiful blog for the AI profit boardroom that shows the power of AI automation." That's all you do.
Then you click "let the agent shape it." The agent builds a full plan around your idea. It shows you the plan, including steps like researching keywords, designing the site, building it on a modern setup, adding internal links, and setting up tracking. It also tells you who will build it: a research agent, a designer, a coder, and more.
You review the plan and click "approve and build now." The agent starts building in the background while you go do other things. You can watch the progress on the board. The agents move the cards for you, and when done, the project ships into a gallery where you can preview it live.
If you want to make changes later, you can go back to the agent and ask for adjustments. Because everything is saved, the agent just knows the context and can continue building.
05Results and Comparisons Shown in the Episode
The episode shows a few examples of what you can build with the Hermes Super Kanban Agent. The main example is a blog for the AI Profit Boardroom. The agent planned and built it with minimal input.
Another example is a landing page for the same community. You can click preview and see it full screen, ready to go. The agent also mentions a habit tracker as another possible project.
Compared to the old way, the difference is clear. The old board was just a to-do list. You did all the work—dragging cards, writing tickets, and making the thing.
With the new agent, the board runs itself. You drop an idea, approve it once, and the project manager and team of agents build the whole thing.
The self-checker is a big deal. It makes sure the output is good, not junk. And because everything is saved in Obsidian, you don't have to explain things over and over again.
That saves a lot of time.
06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid
Here are some tips and things to keep in mind when using the Hermes Super Kanban Agent.
- Always use the human approval step: Review the plan before building. This ensures the agent is working on the right thing.
- Use the memory log: Since everything is saved, you can ask the agent to improve past projects without re-explaining.
- Let the self-checker work: Trust that the agent checks its own work. It reviews and makes sure the output is good before showing you.
- Avoid fighting the agent: The goal is to control the agent, not be controlled by it. Use the board to stay organized.
One mistake to avoid is thinking this is too techie. It's not. You don't need to code.
If you can type a sentence and press enter, you can run this. Even people who have never used a board before get results right away.
Another limit to remember: the first version might not always be perfect. That's why the self-checker is there. It catches issues before you see them.
07Who Is the Super Kanban Agent For?
The Hermes Super Kanban Agent is for anyone who wants to build websites, tools, games, or apps without doing the heavy lifting. It's perfect for entrepreneurs, business owners, and creators who have many ideas but limited time.
If you run a business, you can use it to create blogs, landing pages, and tools to attract more customers. It automates the whole process, saving you hundreds of hours. The agent works in the background, so you can focus on other parts of your business.
This system matters because it gives you control over your AI. Most people are controlled by AI because they don't understand how to use it. With this board, you control the agent.
You decide what to build, approve the plan, and get a finished product.
It also helps you never forget ideas. Everything is saved in one place, so you can come back anytime. That's the power of a second brain.
