Master Hermes Agent in 41 mins

Most Hermes videos show you how to install it. That is not the hard part. The hard part is turning Hermes into something actually useful. In this video, I show you how I use Hermes as the center of my personal AI system by connecting it to Telegram, Gmail, Google Calendar, Apple Health data, social media workflows, and even OpenClaw to build a personal AI wiki that improves over time. I cover: how to install Hermes locally how to run Hermes with Ollama and local models how to deploy Hermes on a VPS that runs 24/7 using OpenRouter Spawn how to connect Hermes to Telegram how to use the Hermes dashboard, cron jobs, and skills how to reduce token costs with OpenRouter and provider routing how I connect Hermes to Gmail, Calendar, and health data how I use Hermes and OpenClaw together instead of choosing one how I build a shared Obsidian-style markdown knowledge base for my life and business I also share where Hermes is better than OpenClaw, where OpenClaw is still stronger, and why I think the best setup is using both together. If you want to stop using AI like a chatbot and start building an AI system that actually works for you, this video is for you. 00:00 Why Herms Matters 02:05 Building your personal LLM Wiki 02:55 Install and Import Setup 03:35 Pick Your LLM 04:51 Fixing Setup Errors 06:11 Token Costs and Savings 07:48 Telegram Bot Connection 09:55 Telegram Groups and Topics 10:27 Dashboard and Cron Jobs 12:29 Skills and Workflows 15:42 Local LLM Install with Ollama 18:23 VPS Deploy with Spawn 20:07 Spawn VPS Setup 21:36 Verify Droplet and Model 22:13 Provider Routing Tricks 24:51 Hermes terminal 25:55 Customize Souls and Agents 28:42 Heartbeat Cron Jobs 29:55 Health Data Skill 31:52 Threads Analytics Skill 34:49 Connect Gmail Calendar 36:46 Hermes and OpenClaw Combo 38:50 Obsidian Shared Wiki 41:14 Final Thougths Resources & Links AI Community (Substack): https://substack.com/@rumjahn Health Data App: https://applehealthdata.com/ Threads Growth Skill: https://github.com/krumjahn/threads-g...
