Agent OS + Obsidian + Free APIs + Agent Teams!

Today we're going to be answering the latest questions on the agent operating system, which is a powerful system that combines all of your AI agents together into one amazing place where you can orchestrate your agents and do anything you want with AI. So what we're going to do today is we're going to run through all of the latest questions because I know if everyone else has these questions, you probably do too. If you're wondering, okay, what have we updated recently inside the system? So we've got a lead generation tool with Hermit's agent. We've been testing out a mixture of agents, which is pretty wild as a tool. Actually, I would definitely recommend checking out. And then also we have our memory system plugged inside here, which basically automatically updates this stuff. In terms of new stuff, we've actually created GLM code. So this is a new section inside Agent OS where you can have your GLM 5.2 coding plan, which is pretty much up there with Opus 4.8 and plug that into an agent harness light clawed code, which is super powerful. We also have notebook lamp and a new section for short videos. So you can generate short videos in like one single click using notebook lamp. And that's super powerful. You can see some of the stuff that we can do right here. And also you can pull in all of your notebook lamp videos and research and everything else inside this section too. And then additionally, we've been building out more stuff into the SEO content pipeline. So you can actually use open SEO with this now too. And additionally, clawed fable 5 should be back tomorrow. So when that actually comes out, we'll be adding fable 5 as a default CLI inside the agent OS. And by the way, you can customize or change anything that you want with this system. But this is just what we're using right now. So let's get straight into some of the questions, some of the latest questions we've had from the AI Profit Boardroom community, what they're asking and how we can help. So we've got a question from Michael eight minutes ago. So this is a pretty recent one. And he says, ex-IT guy looking for a direction to go with AI. Right. And he's running cursor. He's running anti-gravity. He's got a couple of vibe coding projects, but he says, I am working on these, but I'm all over the place. So looking to find like one focus, looking for one setup, et cetera. So when it comes to overwhelm or when it comes to being all over the place, we actually have a system to help you avoid that. That's actually the first thing we have inside the start here section of the AI Profit Boardroom just because it is. And so we have a full guide and setup guide on how to never worry about overwhelm or being all over the place and make sure that you focus. It's called our focus protocol. Basically cuts out all the noise so you can focus. Now, on top of that, if you're wondering, okay, what should you focus on in the meantime? We've got two different pathways for that. So we've got two different pathways to help you focus. But the main thing I would say is just focus on one thing at a time. Like with AI, you can do so much, but you don't need to do that much, right? You just need to focus on one thing at a time and then go from there. So for example, right now for me, my main focus is the agent operating system because I know if I just focus on that, we're going to build something amazing. And that's just going to keep improving every single day. And I do the same for you. It's like just focus on one thing at a time. Don't let yourself get distracted. Don't try and do like five different projects at once. Just do one thing at a time and stay laser focused. So we have a question here from Scott and he is running Claude Desktop and Hermes Desktop as well. And he's also going to download Minimax Desktop. Now, at this point already, I would say you probably need an agent operating system because if you're using three different tools, Minimax, Claude and Hermes, well, that can get quite messy. And so you're clicking between tabs. It's quite hard to link everything together. I can see that you're already at the point where you're having trouble tracking multiple tasks. And so, Scott, if I was you, I'd definitely recommend using the agent OS instead because if you've got like three different apps with three different tools, it's going to be very messy to track everything that you do. You're going to lose projects. You're going to get distracted. It'll be hard to orchestrate all of it. So, when you're using the agent operating system, the great thing is, number one, for your session history, you can store all of that inside the memory Obsidian system so that everything gets automatically logged. So, like every time we do something inside our system, it gets logged to our memory and then that's automatically organized inside Obsidian. And then, for example, if you generate something with Claude, well, that goes inside your workspace. The same with, for example, Hermes or anything else that you do. And so, for me personally, I'd recommend that you stick or focus on the agent OS instead because it'll help you manage everything. It'll keep everything smoother and in one place. And if you want to get the agent OS system, it's right here. So, we have a zip file where you can download and install it. Sanjita was asking about how do you set up agent OS on Docker? Now, for me personally, I actually don't use Docker and I've never used it to set up an agent operating system. So, I just run it locally, as you can see. And that works really well for me. We do have members who have run it on a VPS, but I've never set it up on Docker. However, if I was trying to do it, I would follow the same advice that Jay Parsons recommends. That where you basically, you can use the zip file to install the agent operating system. And you can ask Claude to put it into Docker for you and orchestrate that out for you in the back end. Andrea is asking about using GitHub to link together and create a system of 12 main AI agents. Plus Honcho, Hermes and Paperclips. It sounds complicated already. And says she wasn't sure about permissions or everything like that. And also data. But also needs to get this up and running ASAP. So, for me personally, I think if you're worried about data and data protection, I wouldn't use GitHub to store a project because it's open source. And, you know, if you saw the situation with Anthropic, it was pretty bad because what happened is they accidentally leaked their code on GitHub. So, if they make those sort of mistakes, you can imagine that one of us could easily make those mistakes too. So, when it comes to linking everything together, like a team of 12 agents, and then, for example, Paperclip, Hermes, etc. Instead of plugging that into GitHub, I would recommend that you just use something like the AgentOS. And if you have multiple different teams or multiple different setups, for example, like Paperclip, well, that just slots in easily, as you can see, inside the AgentOS instead. And I think that's a much cleaner, smoother way to link everything together and to have it in one place. Also, we've got some great news today. As Anthropic have announced that Fable 5 should be restored with access to us by tomorrow. So, I think within 24 hours, we'll be looking at Fable 5 coming back, which is great. And again, I will be plugging that into Claude as soon as it drops. There was an interesting post from Alan about Sonnet 5 versus Opus 4.8. For me personally, I want to stick with Opus 4.8. And Fable 5 is obviously coming as well. So, I kind of feel like this Sonnet 5 is almost one of the worst releases that we've seen with AI. But at the same time, Fable 5 is amazing. So, I have nothing against Anthropic. I think they're fantastic. But I do think that there's an issue with Sonnet 5 for sure. And it's just, there's no point using it. We also compared GLM 5.2 versus Sonnet 4.8. Sorry, Sonnet 5 versus GLM 5.2. And for me personally, I would go with GLM 5.2 when you consider everything, including the costs and the fact that you can plug GLM 5.2 into Hermes, but you can't do that with something like Sonnet 5. So, we've got a question here from Maho who's, you know, thinking about starting a side gig, helping local restaurants, etc. get found online. So, it sounds like you're basically looking for help with SEO there. The way that I would recommend doing that is, you know, in terms of a stack, probably go with just Claude. If you want the full basics, just go with Claude and then use Ahrefs too. If you want to go a bit more advanced, then we actually have a full SEO system inside the agent operating system. So, for example, it can pull in the latest research from your Google Search Console. We have a Google Workspace API. You've also got OpenSEO, which works with the data for SEO API for rank trackings inside AI and also inside Google. And then we also have this system where we can plug in a keyword, plug in a case study, deploy that to our websites with Netlify or WordPress. And from there, we'll actually index the content with Indexceptional as well. So, if you want like a full stack built out, you could use that. If you're on the basic stack, you've got that above too. Q was asking about like cheaper frontier models. So, for us, we've actually used Olama with GLM 5.2. That's pretty good. You can get the cloud subscription plan. That also gives you access to loads of models too. And then what you can do is you can actually set up in one click GLM 5.2 with Claude code, like we've got built right here. Or you could actually set up Hermes in one single click with GLM 5.2 as we've got inside the agent OS as well. So, that's a good option. And otherwise, just a normal GLM 5.2 coding plan is pretty good too. You also might think, you know, some of this stuff is a bit complicated, that sort of thing. So, you can see, for example, like Timo, he just joined like literally, he's brand new and he's already set up Hermes agent and set up his first Hermes system. So, if you're new to AI agents, like there's so many people inside the community who are getting awesome results. There's 194 pages of wins and testimonials inside our documents, you can see right here. So, I know like if I'm non-technical and I can set this up, if they're all non-technical and they can set this up, anyone can win with AI. You just have to learn how. And I think a community that's supportive and positive like this is great for learning that stuff. So, shout out to Timo. But also, use this as inspiration. If you're struggling with AI agents or you're struggling with using AI, you can get there. You just have to be persistent and it's a skill that you learn over time. So, you got a win from John Meza, who is an absolute legend inside the community. And you can see what he's built here. So, he's got Hermes agent running directly with his agent OS over here. And he's plugged it into the system, which is quite a nice way to use it. Now, we've got Hermes as well with a bit more advanced functionality inside our agent operating system. But the main point is, if you're using anything open source like Hermes or OpenClaw, definitely use it like this. Now, one way that I like to get the most out of Hermes as well is to basically segment it by what it can do into a separate tab. So, what I mean by this, for example, is like we've got a system here where we can do lead generation in one prompt. Then we can draft the email campaign. And then we can manage our emails and all the leads that we've contacted inside this one single system. And that's just one tiny piece of what Hermes can do. But we've got it inside one workflow so we can come back to it whenever we need to. Also, for example, got the video agent over here. And we can generate videos in one click with Hermes just by typing in the prompt. And then, for example, we can generate the full avatar video as you can see. So, however you prefer to use Hermes inside your agent operating system, you can. This is how I recommend using it. And it's a great win for John as well. Shout out to John for taking action and also sharing that with the community. Now, I've got a question from Sierra, which is how to get Hermes and Owl Alpha working. So, Owl Alpha was a free API that was available on beta and it was released end of April. I actually saw recently that it's now been taken off and it's not free anymore. So, the model Owl Alpha doesn't exist on OpenRoot anymore. If you actually type in Owl Alpha, the only model that pops up is Mansa Weaver. And that is a paid API. But what you can do instead is if you type in free inside OpenRooter, there's a bunch of free models that you can use instead. So, for example, Gemma 4, North Mini Code, Hermes 3, NVIDIA, Nemetron 3.5, etc. So, that's a good way around it instead. This is pretty interesting. So, Robert was asking, are there any themes for the Agent OS? Which is not something we've actually done. It might be something we create in the future if there's enough demand for it. But right now, we've just got the UI as it is. However, what I will say is that when I look at a lot of community members who are using the Agent OS, a lot of community members using the Agent OS, they actually customize it how they want it to look. And the great thing about that is you can always change the branding, the logo, you can change the style of it, look and theme. Sheena did a great job of this and actually rebranded it plus changed it to her own version. So, you can customize yours as much as you want. There was a good example from Robbie D as well, who created his own sort of Kanban pipeline for job outreach with the Agent OS as well. So, whatever theme, style, color, etc. you prefer to use, you can set up with your own Agent OS. There was also a good example of Joseph Hilston, who basically changed the colors inside his Obsidian memory setup. So, it's very easy to customize and change however you want. You can just ask the agent that set up for you to do that for you. So, we have a question from Nova who was asking about what's the best system to use for memory. So, we currently use Obsidian, which is just a bunch of Markdown files, but Nova is using SQL. And he said, somehow I feel a bit of pressure to, instead of use Obsidian, use SQL. And yes, is Obsidian somehow better? Is SQL better? Or what should you use for memory? I personally don't use SQL just because it's a bit more technical and it's based on code. Whereas, for example, with Markdown, it's simplified. And for me, I always find like the simplest systems, all things being equal, tends to be the best. And also, when I've looked at other people who've set up a great memory system, the best ones I've seen by far have been Obsidian. I've never seen like a really good memory system created with SQL. So, if you want to simplify and if you want to make things easy for yourself and your agents, then I would go with Obsidian. But for me personally, I don't have a lot of experience with coding with SQL, so I can't recommend it. So, Timo was asking about whether to use TaskMD and create Markdown tasks for Kanban, or how do you orchestrate your agents? For me personally, I don't use TaskMD. I use Hermes with Kanban instead. TaskMD is not something I'm really familiar or something I've tested with personally. If you do test out TaskMD, just let us know because I'd be interested to know, okay, which one do you prefer? But for me right now, just running Hermes Agent and then that drives our Kanban board forward seems to be the fastest and easiest solution. And we've got some great outputs from the Kanban. They actually just released a new update for Hermes Kanban yesterday as well, so it doesn't freeze as much. But yeah, TaskMD is not something I'm familiar with. I tend to just go with the simplest systems because otherwise if you make things too complicated for agents, they just kind of break or there's more problems in the system. So, if you can simplify as well, that tends to work better. Tom was asking about Ollama versus Hermes. Which one is best? First, so it's kind of like comparing apples and oranges. Ollama is a way to run models and you can run models locally or via the cloud with Ollama and they actually have an option where you can run Hermes in one click with Ollama. And then, for example, with Hermes, Hermes is the agent, right? So, you want to think of it in terms of, okay, so Ollama is the model provider and Hermes is the agent that you can plug the model into. So, Hermes is, for example, the hands and Ollama is the brain. And they work together. It's not something you would compare side by side. Got another question here from Timo. So, Timo was asking, you know, what is the best memory system? Should you use ByteRover? Should you use OpenViking? Should you use Honcho? So, what should you use, particularly when you have multiple Hermes profiles? So, I would stick with Obsidian. That's what's worked the best for me right now. And we have the Memory Galaxy plugged into the Agent OS using that. The reason that I don't use the native memory systems with Hermes is like, number one, some of them are not free. And also, number two, Obsidian seems to work really well with AI agents. And it also transfers across Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes, and whatever else comes out next. So, for me personally, I just use Obsidian. And the great thing about it is it's a very simple system. We've just marked down files and folders. So, it's easy for your agents to update, navigate, and organize for you. So, here's another good example. So, you can see here that Adrian, they created a LinkedIn desk inside their agent operating system. So, you can see, for example, how it works. It's using our system, but basically, they've added their own custom setup inside the agent operating system. So, it's called the LinkedIn desk, and then it can create content. It can schedule it. You can create the content with AI. And it's all inside one tidy workflow that's one click away inside the system. So, that is an amazing example of what you can build with the Agent OS and how you can customize it and make it your own. They're also asking for some help, which Robbie has helped with already. So, appreciate that, Robbie. But yeah, the beauty of the agent operating system is if you have a workflow, you can set it up so that it's only one click away. So, if we need to do videos, we've got it over here. If we need to do SEO, we've got it over here. If we need to check the memory, we've got it over here. If we need to run a team of agents inside a Kanban board, we've got it over here. And it's all set up and ready to go whenever you need it. And I think that's the beautiful thing about this is it's very customizable. And also, you've seen how many members are just taking these systems and making it their own. So, we have answered every single question inside the AI Profit Board today. If you want to ask me questions like this, I create a video tutorial based on all the latest questions. We've got an amazing community that's really supportive, helpful, lots of great people inside there, lots of people helping each other. 194 pages of testimonials and wins from people winning with AI. It's just a great community to be part of as well. And I think, you know, when you're learning AI, it can be quite a lonely journey. You know, you're coding all the time. You're testing out new tools. It's very hard to meet people who are into AI as much as you are, I think, because it's so new. So, if you want to join a community where you can meet people and network with great entrepreneurs, founders, people using AI agents, plus myself, then you can do that inside the AI Profit Board. You also get the full agent operating system that I've shown you today with every system plugged in already. And then inside the community, you can ask questions and get help and video tutorials. I personally answer every single question. We also showcase like what members are doing. So, you can see, for example, this system that Robbie set up. Inside the classroom, you get access to all of our best trainings. So, we have, for example, this section with the agent OS system, the last update date, a zip file to install it. And then we have new daily tutorials based on what's actually useful with full step-by-step guides and videos. And then additionally, if you're a complete beginner, you can go from beginner to expo over here. You can also get weekly coaching calls. You can get four-weekly coaching calls, get help and support in real time. Inside the map, you can meet people in your local area who are working on stuff like this. So, I hope to see you inside there. Link in the comments and screen.
