That Third One Is The Big One For My Agent OS. Let Me Show You What That Looks Like. This Is My Agent OS. Everything You're Seeing Here Is What's Inside The Zip File. Start With The Chat Section. This Is Where All My Agent Profiles Live. Each One Is A Completely Separate Agent With Its Own Brain. I've Got One Profile Set Up As My SEO Agent. I Give It Prompts Like Research The Top Questions People Ask About AI Automation, Then Write A Blog Post For The AI Profit Boardroom That Answers Them And Shows How Our Community Helps People Save Hours Every Week. Then I've Got A Content Writer Profile. Now That One Gets Take The Research From The SEO Agent And Turn It Into A Video Script That Explains The Benefits Of Joining The AI Profit Boardroom In Simple Language Anyone Can Follow. And Here's The Good Bit, I Don't Manage Any Of That Myself. I Talk To My Main Hermes Agent And It Uses The Delegate Tool To Hand The Task To The Right Sub Agent Automatically. Now Before I Show You The Rest Of The System, Here's The Important Part. If You Want My Setup, The Whole Agent OS, You Can Get It Inside The AI Profit Boardroom.

And I Personally Answer Questions In There Every Single Day. We've Got 200 Pages Of Wins In There From People Using Our Agent Operating Systems. Okay, Let Me Show You The Rest Of What's In The Box. Next Up, The Kanban Board. This Is Where I Run Projects, Tasks, Sit On The Board, And My Agents Pull Them And Work Them. With Quicksilver, That Board Moves Way Faster Because Delegation Is Faster. And Here's What Changed. Before, Every Risky Command Needed My Approval One By One. Now A Second AI Checks Flagged Commands Independently Before They Run. So The Board Just Keeps Moving While I'm Doing Something Else. You Can Also Write Your Own Deny Rules. Rules That Say Never Do This Ever. And Those Rules Hold Even In Full Auto Mode. So You Get Speed With Brakes You Control. Then There's The Memory Galaxy. This Is One Of My Favorite Parts Of The Agent OS. Every Useful Action, Every Every Task, Every Memorable Thing I Do With Hermes. Get Stored In There. So My Agents Remember My Business, My Style, My Projects. And Now Because Of Quicksilver, It Retrieves Those Memories Faster. Your Agent Pulls Up Personalized Context Quicker, Better Answers Faster. Then There's Hermes Apollo. This Is A Live Voice Agent That Runs In The Background. I Talk To It And It Builds. I've Used It To Create Full Web Pages With Just My Voice. It Operates My Computer. Everything We Talk About Lands In My Workspace Ready To Go. So Imagine Saying Build A New Landing Page For The AI Profit Boardroom That Shows The Value Of AI Automation. And Explains What People Get Inside The Community. And It Just Goes And Builds It While You Talk. Then Hermes Oracle And Hermes Asteros. These Monitor Competitors And Come Up With Content Ideas Automatically. So You Wake Up With A Content Plan Instead Of A Blank Page. All Of That Just Got Faster With This Update. Now Let Me Show You Why Running A Fleet Actually Matters. You Can Give Each Profile In Your Agent OS A Different Model. One Profile Could Run HY3 Which Is A Brand New Free Model On Hermes Agent. Another Could Run Laguna S 2.1. Another Free Model. You Could Even Run A Local Model As Your Third. Why Does That Help? Because If You Hammer One Model With Everything You Get Rate Limited Or It Slows Down. Spread The Work Across Three And Your Fleet Keeps Moving. And Your Main Agent Handles The Routing So You Never Think About It. That's The Difference Between Having One Agent And Having An Operating System. There's A Bunch Of Smaller Upgrades To That Make The Agent OS Nicer To Run. You Get Reasoning Dials, Terminal Commands, Stat Skills, Real Secrets Management. So Your API Keys Aren't Sitting In Plain Text Config Files Anymore. You Get Reasoning Dials, Terminal Commands, Stat Skills, Real Secrets Management. So Your API Keys Aren't Sitting In Plain Text Config Files Anymore. You Get A Sessions You Can Hand To Anyone. Export Any Session To Markdown Or HTML. And There's A Redact Flag That Scrubs Your Secrets Before Anything Leaves Your Machine. That One Is Underrated. Before, Sharing A Session Meant Copy-Pasting And Hoping You Didn't Leak Your Keys. There's A Panic Button Too. Safe Mode. You Boot Hermes With Every Customization Switched Off. So If Your Config Breaks You're Not Stuck, You Boot Clean And Fix It. And If You Use Telegram, Discord Or Matrix, You Get Nicer Buttons In There Now Too. Let Me Put Old Versus New Side By Side Because The Difference Is Stark. The Old Way. You Wait. You Baby-Sathe.
