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