Intro
0:00Hermes Agent is the most powerful AI
0:02software out there right now. The issue
0:04is 99% of people have no idea what to do
0:07with it. In this video, I'm going to go
0:09over six use cases that have totally
0:12transformed my workflow. By the end of
0:14this video, if you stick with me, you'll
0:16have a 24/7 AI employee doing work for
0:20you around the clock. Now, let's lock in
0:22and get into it. So, I've been using
0:24Hermes Agent a ton for a couple months
0:26now. I have it working for me at all
0:28times. I've literally have like five
0:29different Hermes agents doing work for
0:31me. So, what I'm going to do is I'm
0:32going to go through six use cases that I
0:34think are incredible. Now, if you
0:35haven't set up Hermes agent yet, I have
0:37a full setup video. Link for that is
0:39down below. Check that out. I don't want
0:41to go through Hermes setup on every
0:42single video I do. So, check that out if
0:44you're not set up yet. But, if you're
0:45set up, let's go into some of these use
0:47cases. Use case number one, I think, is
Goals
0:49one of the most underrated features in
0:51AI this year, and that is slashgoal. But
0:55how do you slash goal? Because if you
0:57use slashgoal the wrong way, you will
0:59get absolutely nothing out of it. But if
1:01you use slashgoal the right way, you get
1:04incredible results. So for those who
1:06don't know, slashgoal allows your agent
1:08to do really longunning tasks. I've had
1:12slashgoal run for over 24 hours straight
1:15for me working on a task. The key to it
1:18is is metapar prompting though. This is
1:20what unlocks slashgoal. If you do slash
1:23goal and just say build me an app, you
1:26might as well have not written / goal,
1:27it'll just build an app like a normal
1:28thing. But if you get it the right
1:31details and the right constraints,
1:33slashgoal becomes a banger. Now the
1:35question becomes, how do you get those
1:37details and constraints? Simple
1:38metaprompting. So how do you metaprompt?
1:40Well, you go to your AI, you tell what
1:42you want to do. You say, "Hey, build
1:44this prompt for me." And it will make a
1:46detailed prompt way better than you
1:48could have written by yourself. So
1:49here's the one I'm going to use. I want
1:51to do a slash goal with you. But first,
1:53I want to come up with the perfect
1:55prompt for it. I'm looking to build a 3D
1:57third-person shooter with Go Dot. Then I
1:59go into all the details of the game.
2:00Then I say at the end, please build me a
2:02/goal prompt for this. And I hit enter.
2:05This is going to build me the /goal
2:08prompt. And what this will do is give
2:10Hermes a really powerful goal prompt
2:13that will allow it to run for literally
2:15hours on end building absolutely
2:17incredible apps. This is what you want
2:19to do if you want Hermes to build you a
2:22really detailed complex app. If you want
2:25to make really detailed, complex
2:27changes. If you want to write really
2:29long, detailed documents, this is when
2:32you would use slashgoal. A lot of the
2:34times I'll have Hermes kick off a
2:36slashgoal to build an app. Then I will
2:38take the code it writes and put it into
2:40like a claw code or codeex to finish the
2:42work off. But slash goal is a really
2:43good way to do it. So here we go. It
2:46built me an entire opinionated/goal
2:49prompt. Look how much more detailed that
2:50is. That is way better than a prompt I
2:52have. So, what we're going to do is
2:53this. I'm going to copy it. I'm going to
2:55paste it in there. I am going to hit
2:57enter on that prompt. It's going to
2:59first before kicking off the slash goal.
3:02Ask me a few questions, which I love.
3:03It's just going to clarify some things
3:04before works for hours on end. And then
3:07off it goes. It's going to start
3:09building the game. And this could run
3:11for a very long time. We will check back
3:13on this game towards the end of this
3:15video. So stick around for the result of
3:17this massive slash goal, but use
3:19slashgoal, but more critically do meta
3:21prompting with it. Next up, I want to
Kanban board workflow
3:23talk about starting your day with the
3:25Hermes canband board. If you're not
3:28familiar, Hermes just released this
3:29feature. It's incredible. It's a builtin
3:32cananband board. And what's great is is
3:34when you put tasks in this canband
3:36board, it auto assigns the task to your
3:39Hermes agents and sub agents and gets it
3:41done autonomously. To access this, just
3:43go to your terminal, type in Hermes
3:45dashboard, hit enter, it'll give you a
3:47URL. You click on it, you go to
3:49Cananban, and you're in. Here's how I
3:51like to use this, though. This is my
3:52favorite way to use this. Every day, I
3:54start off my day. I write down my to-do
3:57list of things I need to do on this
3:59piece of paper and then I take anything
4:01Hermes can do and I put it in my canban
4:04port. I put it in triage. If you put
4:06your ideas into triage, it auto assigns
4:09them to agents. So, here's the routine
4:11that has changed my life. You wake up,
4:13go to your computer, open up your canban
4:16board, get all your to-do items for that
4:18day, and start putting them in triage.
4:20So, here's how I'll do I'll say script a
4:22new Hermes YouTube video about use
4:26cases. I'll click create and I'll make a
4:29new one. Come up with three tweets about
4:32Hermes use cases. Create. That's two in
4:36there. Find all the latest trending AI
4:40tools and make a report. Create. And so
4:44now I start my day. I got my tasks I
4:46need to do that day. I give it to triage
4:48inside the Hermes canban board. Now I
4:51go, I look at my other things like pay
4:53my credit card bill. Hermes
4:55unfortunately at the moment can't do
4:57that. Maybe that's a feature coming
4:58soon. I go I pay the bill myself. I come
5:01back and as you can see it's taking the
5:04task from triage and it's moving it into
5:06to-do and getting it done autonomously
5:08for me. So you start your day you go.
5:10Hey Hermes, here's everything I need you
5:11to do. Put in the camb board. You go get
5:14your human work done. And by the time
5:16you're done with that, Hermes took care
5:18of all the work it can do. This is like
5:20having the employee. This is what you
5:22do. The cananban board is excellent. Use
5:24it. If you made it through these first
5:26two use cases so far, then you know how
5:28powerful AI agents are and you know you
5:30have to be using them daily. But once
5:32you start, the question always becomes,
5:34what can I automate and what tools
5:36should I use for it? The good news is my
5:38friends and former employer HubSpot have
5:40partnered with the channel and have
5:42built this entirely free AI agents cheat
5:45sheet. This guide is sick. It covers a
5:48ton. It covers seven different AI agent
5:51tools, how to set them up, costs, the
5:54best use cases for each. This makes it
5:57so you know exactly what you're getting
5:59into before you start using these AI
6:01agents. My personal favorite part of the
6:03guide is the starter prompts here. You
6:05can just copy and paste these prompts
6:07into each agent it talks about and
6:10you're immediately getting value out of
6:11them. And even if you're brand new to AI
6:14agents, there is so much to learn in
6:16this guide. It's completely free, no
6:18strings attached. So, if you want the
6:20guide, check out the link down below.
6:22And thanks to HubSpot for supporting the
6:24channel. Now, back to the Hermes use
6:26cases. The next use case I love to do is
Technical breakdown
6:29full technical research and breakdowns
6:31of competing apps. So, if you're a
6:33builder and you're vibe coding an app,
6:35you probably have other apps in your
6:37space with you and you want to go see
6:39how they work so that you can include
6:41anything that's interesting in your own
6:43app. One thing I do all the time is I
6:46will have Hermes go out and do complete
6:48technical breakdowns by going onto their
6:51site, clicking around, looking at the
6:53console, and seeing how that app works.
6:55So, say I want to do a complete research
6:57and technical breakdown in my app,
6:59Creator Buddy. Maybe I'm building a
7:00competing app to it. What I would do is
7:02I'd go in and I'd say, "Open a browser
7:05and go to creatorbuddy.io.
7:07Do a full research and technical
7:09breakdown of the site. What stack does
7:11it use? How does it work? Which features
7:12does it have? What can we emulate? I hit
7:15enter on that. What GPIs is about to do
7:18is it's going to pop open a browser and
7:22actually start doing the research for me
7:24because Hermes can control your
7:26computer, control browsers. It's going
7:28to go off while I'm doing work and do
7:30full breakdowns and research in its own
7:33browser while I'm doing my own thing.
7:35This is massive to do if you are
7:38building any sort of app. You want to
7:40figure out who your competitors are, who
7:42else is in the space, and then have your
7:44Hermes agent go and do research on those
7:46competitors. Pop them open in a browser,
7:49click around, see what their tech is,
7:50and build you a full research breakdown,
7:53which you then can feed to your other
7:55agents who are building your app and
7:56include a lot of things they're doing
7:58well inside your own app. So, let's see
7:59what it's doing here. So, as you can see
8:01here, it has its own browser. It's
8:03navigating to Creator Buddy. It's
8:04looking at the console. It's getting the
8:06images on the site. It's opening the
8:07terminal. It's creating tasks for
8:09itself. Then it's asking for permission
8:10to search through and find all the
8:12different tools and libraries in it. So,
8:14we're going to say go right ahead. By
8:16the way, as it's doing that, my other
8:18hermesization's still going. It's still
8:20building out that game we gave it. I
8:22hope it has something interesting by the
8:23end of this. And look at this. It built
8:25the entire report out. Gave it a
8:27highlevel overview exactly all the tech
8:30behind it, which is all accurate. It has
8:32the payments, how much everything costs.
8:34It has all the analytics, the the events
8:37the analytics are collecting. This is
8:39amazing. If we were to go say, "Hey, put
8:41this in a markdown file." Then we take
8:43that markdown file with hands to claude
8:45coder codeex. It can build out
8:48everything creator buddy is doing well.
8:50You can quickly emulate any other app
8:52out there. So, this is really, really
8:54powerful for research. The next use case
8:56I want to talk about is an awesome one
Personal wiki
8:58that everyone should be doing and that
9:01is creating your own memory wiki. This
9:04is a website you can go to that has all
9:06your memories on it, all your daily logs
9:08on it. So, you can go back, go through
9:10every conversation you've had, what
9:12you've talked about, what you've done in
9:13the past, and basically just have a hub
9:15for everything you've done with your
9:17agent. This is mine right here, and I'll
9:19show you how to set it up in a second,
9:20but basically, you can go in, see a
9:23whole bunch of topics you've talked
9:24about in the past, see each and every
9:26one of your daily logs and what you've
9:28worked on every single day. And it's
9:30basically like an automated diary. It
9:33tracks everything I've talked about,
9:34everything I've done. So if I ever
9:36think, oh, what did I do with my Hermes
9:38agent when it comes to this subject,
9:39what I've done here before, it all goes
9:41in here. And what's amazing is this
9:44reinforces your memory system. If you
9:46have your Hermes agent maintain this
9:48memory wiki, it can go back and look at
9:51these daily logs itself. So it's great
9:53for you to remember what you've worked
9:54on the past, almost like a diary, and
9:56it's great as memory reinforcement for
9:58Hermes. How do you set it up? Super
10:01super simple. Just use this prompt. I'll
10:03put this down below, so feel free to
10:04copy and paste it. I want to build a
10:06memory wiki. This should be a site I can
10:08visit that has a list of all the
10:10subjects we've talked about and the
10:12daily logs of what we've done together.
10:14I should be able to click on any of the
10:16subjects or daily logs and get more
10:17details on the conversations we've had
10:19and the work we've done. You put it in,
10:22your Hermes agent will build the site.
10:24It'll build the entire memory wiki. And
10:26now you'll have an entire place to view
10:28all the work you've ever done, chats
10:30you've had, things you've talked about
10:32with your Hermes agent, and it's going
10:34to reinforce the memory, too, which is
Computer administrator
10:36awesome. This next use case is a great
10:38one. I use this whenever I'm out on the
10:40go, whenever I'm on different devices,
10:42and that is a general computer
10:44administrator. What does that mean? This
10:46is really, really helpful if you have
10:48multiple devices. Maybe have a computer,
10:50an iPad, a laptop, your iPhone. As long
10:53as you have at least a computer and a
10:55cell phone, you should be doing this.
10:57What you want to do is install Tailcale
10:59on all your devices. This isn't
11:01sponsored. Tailcale is completely free.
11:03You install it on all your devices. And
11:06what it does is it creates a private
11:08network for all your devices, which will
11:10allow you to have your Hermes agent go
11:13in and do work across every device you
11:16have. Why would you want to do that?
11:19Many reasons. Say you're on the go.
11:21Maybe you're on a business trip and you
11:22have a document that's on your computer
11:24and you forgot to put it on your laptop
11:26or on your phone. You can just go on
11:28your phone, go to Hermes and say, "Hey,
11:31get the document off of the computer and
11:34drop it in this chat so I can download
11:35it on my phone." Or maybe you have a
11:38couple different computers and you want
11:39to run a local LLM on one, but use it on
11:42another. You can do that. You can say,
11:44"Hey, Hermes, go install a local LLM on
11:47my Mac Studio and then set up a web app
11:50on my MacBook Pro." It basically allows
11:52your Hermes agent to use and leverage
11:55every single device you have. This is
11:58also really cool if you're a builder.
12:00So, say you vibe code something on your
12:02laptop, but you want to test it on your
12:04iPhone or on your desktop computer,
12:06you'll be able to do that. You'll be
12:07able to access everything on local host
12:10on other computers. Typically local host
12:12is obviously just for the local devices.
12:15But if you have a tail scale network
12:18connecting everything together, you can
12:20have your Hermes agent go on the other
12:23computer, test it on their local host,
12:25do everything there. It's really really
12:27helpful. It basically gives Hermes agent
12:29superpowers. So this is an amazing use
12:32case because it basically makes every
12:35device into one huge network you can
12:37access from anywhere in the world. It's
12:39super. Honestly, probably the number one
12:41use case I use Hermes for. So, general
12:44computer administrator, basically the
12:46CEO of all your devices is what it turns
12:48Hermes into. Make sure to do that and
12:50get that set up. And the last use case I
Morning priority prompt
12:52want to go through with you basically
12:54makes it so your Hermes can self-improve
12:56every day, learn a little bit more about
12:58you, and do better work. And that is
13:00your morning priority prompt. Basically,
13:03the way this works is your Hermes agent
13:06will come in and every morning
13:07proactively message you and ask you what
13:10your number one priority is that day.
13:12This happens for me every single morning
13:14at 9:00 a.m. And what happens is when I
13:17answer that question, it learns a little
13:19bit more about who I am, what I'm trying
13:22to do that day, and improves its memory
13:24on me. So, the first thing it'll do is
13:26come up with tasks that it can do to
13:28help that priority. The second thing
13:30it'll do is just learn more about who I
13:32am and what I'm working on. This allows
13:34it to be a lot more accustomed for you
13:36and constantly learn who you are. So,
13:38what you want to do is this. You're
13:40going to use this prompt, which I put
13:42down below as well. Every morning at
13:439:00 a.m., ask me what my number one
13:45priority is for that day. Then, come up
13:47with tasks you can do to help me with
13:49that priority. Then, update your
13:51memories about me accordingly. The
13:53better the context your agent has about
13:55you, the better work it can recommend,
13:58the better work it can do, and the more
14:00custom it can be for you. So, you want
14:02to run this prompt and you want to make
14:04sure you answer this question every
14:05single morning. The more you do this,
14:08the more your agent will self-improve
14:10and be custom for you. So, this is
14:11really, really important to do. With
14:13that being said, it looks like our game
14:15is done. Let's go in here and see what
14:18this game's all about. All right, so I'm
14:20in the game. It's dark, so it is like
14:22splinter cell. I'm shooting the enemy.
14:24Okay, I killed an enemy. I can loot
14:25their body. All right, so I have ammo on
14:28them. They have a bandage. Let's take
14:30the bandage. Let's take the ammo. Oh,
14:32we'll take all. All right, we got that.
14:34Let's close out. So, there is loot now.
14:36We're going. All right, so it looks like
14:38Oh. Oh, they see me through the wall.
14:40There's a wall here. So, it is very
14:42stealth like and I'm dead. So, there is
14:43the bones to a game here, right? There's
14:46pretty good bones. You can loot people,
14:48you can kill people, you can pick stuff
14:49up. That's pretty cool. Oh, we got loot
14:51value. That's pretty cool. Is it the
14:53best game ever? No. But now I can give
14:55it a goal and have a go improve things.
14:57I can say, "Hey, use the Chad GBT image
14:59gen model and make assets for the game.
15:02Didn't turn out half bad." I hope this
