Today I'm going to show you a powerful new GROK 4.5 agentic operating system that can build and automate basically anything. And I'm going to show you some of the best ways to use it. And also because we have Twitter already, this doesn't cost us anything to set up. It's actually completely free. So this is pretty powerful stuff. I'm going to guide you through. I'm going to show you exactly how it works step by step. And the thing to note here is that GROK 4.5 just got dropped today. So it literally just got released today. It is GROK 4.5, which is XAI's smartest ever model for coding, agentic tasks and knowledge work, which means this is really, really powerful. It's a system. You can see how it performs on the benchmarks. From what I've tested personally, I will say that I usually ignore benchmarks and I just create Goldie Bench. And I'll show you some of the stuff we're built within a second. But what I will say is it's right, right up there with Claude Opus 4.8. It's not Fable 5 level by any means, but it is really powerful. And bear in mind, you just get it for free if you're using Twitter anyway. So this is a really powerful system. So let me guide you through what we've done here. So we have GROK 4.5 plugged into our CLI here. So we've got the CLI from Twitter and we can basically just talk directly to it. We can say, okay, build out a beautiful landing page. We type that in. It will start building, as you can see. And the cool thing about this is that everything we create inside our agentic operating system is actually saved inside the workspace, which is great because I know so many people who create stuff and then just lose it a few weeks or even days or even hours later. Whereas with this system, everything that we build with this, nothing is wasted. Everything is saved. We can come back to it easy. And it's all plugged into one sweet system as you can see right here. Now, also, what I'll also say is that it's really, really good at building, for example, like games, visual stuff, 3D, graphics. It's not Fable 5 level, but it does create some awesome stuff. It can even create videos here. So you can see, for example, this video animation that you're watching right now was fully automated with GROK 4.5 just by teaching it remotion and the power of video editing skills. It replaces your video editing team if you have one, and it can create videos for you on the spot without even having a team or anything like that. You can also see, for example, you can create pretty cool games, a lot of fun games and that sort of thing, and create like a Minecraft-style game for us over here. And that's just one tiny part of it. Now, what we've also done is we have plugged this into a system called Hermes Agent, if you're not familiar with it already. And we have Hermes Agent as a profile with GROK 4.5. So over here, if we scroll to the right, you can see that we have GROK 4.5 ready to go. It can do a genetic task for us. And again, this doesn't cost us anything. It doesn't cost us any tokens or API or anything like that. It's just like, this is a free extra add-on I can build into my Agent OS. Also, it plugs into our memory system. So for example here, we said, what did we do yesterday? And it actually looks at everything that we did yesterday from our memory system. So it looks through our Obsidian Memory Galaxy, and then understands everything that we've done, because it has all of this detail right here. It has all of our memory. So automatically logged every few minutes. And so this connects the dots. It understands everything that we do. And everything that we build with GROK 4.5 is carried on to our other Agents as well. So they will sync. Now inside this whole system, we don't just have GROK 4.5. So you can use Claude, Hermes Agent. You could use Anti-Gravity, Codex, another option. Kimiko, GLM 5.2, whatever you use, right? You can mix and match and just take the systems that you use and ignore and discard the ones that you don't. But this is a pretty powerful system. I also think it's just a lot of fun to build a GROK 4.5 build. It creates really visual interesting stuff. And also one of the great things about this is we've actually taken GROK 4.5, and you can use it with OAuth, which means you can log in with your Twitter account into Hermes Agent. And what that means essentially is like, number one, you can't even do that with Claude or Opus 4.8 because they actually stopped and banned people using OAuth, their authentication with Claude and Agents. But you can do that with GROK. And also the cool thing about this is the GROK 4.5 can generate videos. So if we have a look at this video right here, it was fully generated along with all of these other videos with GROK 4.5. And that leads me naturally to talking about the video agent that were built with this too. So in one single prompt, we can tell the agent exactly what we want to create and it will just create it over here and it will use GROK for the B-roll along with an AI avatar presenter. And then we can just tell it what we want to use. Now, also the great thing about this is that it has access to the Twitter API, which no other AI actually has. So that means it can feed in real-time information like Twitter is the best place for getting breaking news. So if we say, okay, create a video about GROK 4.5 update that just dropped, it can just start using the agent to create that in real time. If you're wondering what does that look like once it's done, here's an example of a bunch of videos we created using this full system. Pretty amazing stuff. So for example, if we look at this one, this was a five minute long video. All the B-roll is generated with GROK 4.5. Didn't cost us anything. The video editor puts it all together along with the voiceover. And also if you want to generate like an AI avatar video, you can do that too. So however you want to generate videos, you can do it with this system using a combination of GROK 4.5 and the video editing team that were built into it. Pretty amazing. Now, also we can generate, for example, images here. So we can switch between Minimax as well. If you prefer to use Minimax, but I prefer to use GROK. And then we can tell it exactly what we want to build. So if we say, okay, cat eating cheese, like so, we can hit enter. And then it will generate the image on the spot. Again, for free using Hermes and the OAuth authentication. So there is a picture of a cat eating cheese. Fantastic. What a time to be alive. We can now create that really easily. And that was literally generated in a couple of seconds. It's unbelievable. Let's take a video now. So if we say, okay, a cat eating cheese, but we change it to a video, that's going to start submitting the video task now. And again, it's using GROK 4.5. So the thing that I would say here is like, GROK 4.5 on its own, probably not going to replace Opus 4.8. But GROK 4.5 with the stuff that Claude can't do, like for example, images, video, voice, and searching Twitter, those are the magical pieces to an agentic operating system that you won't find with Claude or any other AI, really, to be honest with you. So for example, we go over to Hermes here and we check on Hermes Oracle. What this does is every few hours, it consults the Oracle. And what we can see here is we have Hermes Oracle over here and we can click on any of these headlines and it pulls in the latest news from Twitter. Then what we can do from here is we can categorize it. So it automatically organizes the content by what's viral right now, what people are searching for, et cetera. And with this agentic operating system, we have the categories and the virality of this content. So for example, you can see here, 95 score. Here's what it's about. Here's the headline. And then it does that for all of them. It links to the trending piece of news. So for example, if you click on this, it will take us directly to the tweet from BoxMining who was talking about this, which is pretty cool. And then also what we have from here is an option to create social media posts like you see, or we can just publish our content straight to WordPress, right? So in one single click, we can quickly create content for SEO, for our social media using Grok as well. And again, that's combining multiple different pieces of the agentic operating system. Like if you just went to Grok, you could never do any of this stuff. But if you build custom tools, custom agent operating systems, that's what the game is about. And also the thing to note here is like, it doesn't really matter about the model because we're building an amazing system. So for example, 5.6 comes out tomorrow, which it will be, then we can just plug in 5.6 into the system. Whatever comes out that's actually useful, we can max out its potential using these custom workflows. So for example, the studio, Hermes Oracle, the chat with Grok 4.5, totally free for me because I've got Twitter and I can combine the power of it all. And then also Grok build, for example, inside this section with the CLI and then all this cool stuff that we built with it. By the way, that's the landing page that we just created. Pretty nice. Actually, it looks really good. Look at that. Wow. Can create beautiful landing pages. Didn't even know that. So you get the point. Like you can create amazing stuff with Grok using the system and you can just plug it into the agent operating system. You can also switch this out. So if you didn't want to use Grok, you could use Claude, for example. We have Claude over here and you can plug in, for example, OmniRoot. OmniRoot is a free API. So if you don't want to pay for Grok, no problem. You can just use OmniRoot and that's totally free with your agent operating system. And then over here, we have the memory system as well. So it's really powerful. I think I just wanted to show you that really to show you and inspire you about what you can do and why most people are using Grok wrong because they'll just go back and forth inside Grok or inside Twitter or whatever. But that's not the way to get the most out of Grok. Like the best way to get the most out of Grok is using the systems that I've shown you today. So if you want to get all of our agent operating system that I've just shown you, you could build it yourself. I spend about three to four hours a day building this out, improving it, making it better. And I think 99% of people watching this are just never going to do that. So if you just want to get my updates and my system, you can get that from the AirProfit Boardroom. Link in the comment description or just go to theairprofitboardroom.com. And we have 196 pages of testimonials of wins from people growing and learning with all this amazing stuff. So for example, like you see here, Jacob, he set it up in about 10 minutes. He set up our agent OS in 10 minutes. It's crazy. And then you can see how many people are just raving about the agent OS and how powerful it is and how useful it is. So if you want to get our full system, it's inside the AirProfit Boardroom. And if you just go to the community in the comments description, then go to classroom, then go to new data updates, you'll find the agent OS here. And we have new daily tutorials like you can see to get the most out of this stuff. So for example, if you're worried about using tokens or you want to save costs, well, we actually have and use the agent OS for free. We have a tutorial on that too. Inside the community, you can ask questions, get help and support. I personally answer them with video tutorials every single day. And then inside the calendar, you can jump on weekly coaching calls, share a screen, ask questions in real time. Inside the classroom, you get access to all of our best trainings, including, for example, if you're a complete beginner, you can go from beginner to expert over here in just six weeks. And then if you want to meet people in your local area who are building with AI agents like you, you can get that inside the maps. You can meet people locally. That's all available inside the AirProfit Boardroom. Link in the comments description to get the Grok agentic operating system and everything that I've shown you today. Thanks for watching.
