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 going to 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 24-7 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 of months now.

I have it working for me at all times.

I've literally had like five different Hermes agents doing work for me

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go through six use cases.

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 it out I don't want to

go through Hermes setup on every single video I do so check that out if you're not set up yet,

but you're set up Let's go into some of these use

cases use case number one I think is one of those 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 24 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 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 going to use.

I want to do a slash goal with you,

but first I want to come up with the perfect prompt for it.

I'm looking to build a 3D 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 want to do if you want Hermes to build you a really detailed, complex app.

If you want to make really detailed,

complex changes, if you want to 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

that I will take the code it writes

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 So here we go.

It built me an entire opinionated slash goal prompt.

Look 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 before kicking off the slash goal ask me a few questions,

which I love It's just gonna clarify some things before 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 want to 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 autonomous.

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 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.

100

I got my tasks I need to do that day.

101

I give it to triage inside the Hermes Kanban board.

102

Now I go, I look at my other things like pay my credit card bill.

103

Hermes, unfortunately at the moment, can't do that.

104

Maybe that's a feature coming soon.

105

I go, I pay the bill myself.

106

I come back and as you can see,

107

it's taking the tasks from triage and it's moving it into to-do and getting it done autonomously for me.

108

So you start your day,

109

you go, hey, Hermes, here's everything I need you to do.

110

Put in the Kanban board.

111

You go get your human work done.

112

And by the time you're done with that,

113

Hermes took care of all the work it can do.

114

This is like having the employee.

115

This is what you do.

116

The Kanban board is excellent.

117

Use it.

118

If you made it through these first two use cases so far,

119

then you know how powerful AI agents are.

120

And you know you have to be using them daily.

121

But once you start, the question always becomes,

122

what can I automate and what tools should I use for it?

123

The good news is my friends and former employer HubSpot have partnered with the channel

124

and have built this entirely free AI agents cheat sheet.

125

This guide is sick.

126

It covers a ton.

127

It covers seven different AI agent tools,

128

how to set them up,

129

costs, the best use cases for each.

130

This makes it so you know exactly what you're getting into before you start using these AI agents.

131

My personal favorite part of the guide is the starter prompts here.

132

You can just copy and paste these prompts into each agent it talks about,

133

and you're immediately getting value out of them.

134

And even if you're brand new to AI agents,

135

there is so much to learn in this guide.

136

It's completely free, no strings attached.

137

So if you want the guide,

138

check out the link down below.

139

And thanks to HubSpot for supporting the channel.

140

Now back to the Hermes use cases.

141

The next use case I love to do is full technical research and breakdowns of competing apps.

142

So if you're a builder and you're vibe coding an app,

143

you probably have other apps in your space with you

144

And you want to go see how they work so that you can include anything that's interesting in your own app.

145

One thing I do all the time is I will have Hermes go out

146

and do complete technical breakdowns by going onto their site,

147

clicking around, looking at the console and seeing how that app works.

148

So say I want to do a complete research and technical breakdown in my app, Creator Buddy.

149

Maybe I'm building a competing app to it.

150

What I would do is I'd go in and I'd say,

151

open a browser and go to creatorbuddy.io.

152

Do a full research and technical breakdown of the site.

153

What stack does it use?

154

How does it work?

155

Which features does it have?

156

What can we emulate?

157

I hit enter on that.

158

What GPT means is about to do is it's going to pop open a browser

159

and actually start doing the research for me.

160

Because Hermes can control your computer,

161

control browsers, it's going to go off while I'm doing work

162

and do full breakdowns and research in its own browser while I'm doing my own thing.

163

This is massive to do

164

if you are building any sort of app you want to

165

figure out who your competitors are who else is in this space

166

and then have your hermes agent go

167

and do research on those competitors pop them open in a browser click around see what their tech is

168

and build you a full research breakdown

169

which you then can feed to your other agents who are building your app

170

and include a lot of things they're doing well inside your own app

171

so let's see what it's doing here

172

so as you can see here it has its own browser

173

it's navigating to creator buddy it's looking at the console it's

174

getting the images on the site it's opening the terminal it's

175

creating tasks for itself then it's asking for permission to search through

176

and find all the different tools and libraries in it

177

so we're going to say go right ahead by the way as it's doing

178

that my other hermization still going still building out

179

that game we gave i hope it has something interesting by the end of this

180

and look at this it built the entire report out gave

181

it a high level overview exactly all the tech behind it

182

which is all accurate it has the payments how much everything

183

costs it has all the analytics the the events the analytics are collecting this is amazing

184

if we were to go say hey put this in a markdown file then we take

185

that markdown file with hands a claude code

186

or codex it can build out everything creator buddy is doing

187

well you can quickly emulate any other app out there

188

so this is really really powerful for research the next use

189

case i want to talk about is an awesome one

190

that everyone should be doing and

191

that is creating your own memory wiki this is a website you can go to

192

that has all your memories on it all your daily logs on it

193

so you can go back go through every conversation you've had

194

what you've talked about what you've done in the past

195

and basically just have a hub for everything you've done with your agent this is mine right here

196

and i'll show you how to set it up in a second but basically you can go in,

197

see a whole bunch of topics you've talked about in the past,

198

see each and every one of your daily logs and what you've worked on every single day.

199

And it's basically like an automated diary.

200

It tracks everything I've talked about, everything I've done.

201

So if I ever think,

202

oh, what did I do with my Hermes agent when it comes to this subject,

203

what I've done here before,

204

it all goes in here.

205

And what's amazing is this reinforces your memory system.

206

If you have your Hermes agent maintain this memory wiki it can go back

207

and look at these daily logs itself

208

so it's great for you to remember what you've worked on the past almost like a diary

209

and it's great as memory reinforcement for hermes how do you

210

set it up super super simple just use this prompt i'll put this down below

211

so feel free to copy

212

and paste it i want to build a memory wiki this should be a site i can visit

213

that has a list of all the subjects we've talked about

214

and the daily logs of what we've done together i should be able to click on any of the subjects

215

or daily logs and get more details on the conversations we've had

216

and the work we've done you put it in your hermes

217

agent will build the site it'll build the entire memory wiki

218

and now you'll have an entire place to view all the work you've ever done

219

chats you've had things you've talked about with your hermes agent

220

and it's going to reinforce the memory too

221

which is awesome this next use case is a great one

222

i use this whenever i'm out on the go whenever I'm on different devices,

223

and that is a general computer administrator.

224

What does that mean?

225

This is really, really helpful.

226

If you have multiple devices,

227

maybe you have a computer,

228

an iPad, a laptop, your iPhone,

229

as long as you have at least a computer and a cell phone,

230

you should be doing this.

231

What you wanna do is install TailScale on all your devices.

232

This isn't sponsored.

233

TailScale is completely free.

234

You install it on all your devices,

235

and what it does is it creates a private network for all your devices.

236

which will allow you to have your Hermes agent go in and do work across every device you have.

237

Why would you want to do that?

238

Many reasons.

239

Say you're on the go,

240

maybe you're on a business trip and you have a document that's on your computer

241

and you forgot to put it on your laptop or on your phone.

242

You can just go on your phone go to hermes

243

and say hey get the document off of the computer

244

and drop it in this chat so i can download it on my phone

245

or maybe you have a couple different computers you want to run a local llm on one

246

but use it on another you can do

247

that you can say hey hermes go install a local llm on on my Mac Studio

248

and then set up a web app on my MacBook Pro.

249

It basically allows your Hermes agent to use and leverage every single device you have.

250

This is also really cool if you're a builder.

251

So say you vibe code something on your laptop,

252

but you wanna test it on your iPhone or on your desktop computer,

253

you'll be able to do that.

254

You'll be able to access everything on local host, on other computers.

255

Typically local host is obviously just for the local devices,

256

But if you have a tail scale network connecting everything together,

257

you can have your Hermes agent go,

258

go on the other computer,

259

test it on their local host, do everything there.

260

It's really, really helpful.

261

It basically gives Hermes agent superpowers.

262

So this is an amazing use case

263

because it basically makes every device into one huge network you can access from anywhere in the world.

264

It's super, it's honestly probably the number one use case I use Hermes for.

265

So general computer administrator, basically the CEO of all your devices is what it turns Hermes into.

266

Make sure to do that and get that set up.

267

And the last use case I want to go through with you basically makes it so your Hermes can self-improve every day,

268

learn a little bit more about you and do better work.

269

And that is your morning priority prompts.

270

Basically, the way this works is your Hermes agent will come in

271

and every morning proactively message you and ask you what your number one priority is that day.

272

This happens for me every single morning at 9 a.m.

273

And what happens is when I answer that question,

274

it learns a little bit more about who I am,

275

what I'm trying to do that day,

276

and improves its memory on me.

277

So the first thing it'll do is come up with tasks that it can do to help that priority.

278

The second thing it'll do is just learn more about who I am and what I'm working on.

279

This allows it to be a lot more custom for you and constantly learn who you are.

280

So what you wanna do is this.

281

You're going to use this prompt to put down below as well.

282

Every morning at 9 a.m.,

283

ask me what my number one priority is for that day.

284

Then come up with tasks you can do to help me with that priority.

285

Then update your memories about me accordingly.

286

The better the context your agent has about you,

287

the better work it can recommend,

288

the better work you can do,

289

and the more custom it can be for you.

290

So you want to run this prompt and you want to make sure you answer this question every single morning.

291

The more you do this,

292

the more your agent will self-improve and be custom for you.

293

So this is really, really important to do.

294

With that being said, it looks like our game is done.

295

Let's go in here and see what this game's all about.

296

All right, so I'm in the game.

297

It's dark, so it is like Splinter Cell.

298

I'm shooting the enemy.

299

Okay, I kill an enemy.

300

I can loot their body.

301

All right, so I have ammo on them.

302

They have a bandage.

303

Let's take the bandage.

304

Let's take the ammo.

305

Oh, we'll take all.

306

All right, we got that.

307

Let's close out.

308

So there is loot.

309

Now we're going all right.

310

So it looks like oh,

311

oh, they see me through the wall There's a wall here.

312

So it is very stealth like and I'm dead So there is the bones to a game here, right?

313

There's pretty good bones.

314

You can loot people You can kill people you can pick stuff up.

315

That's pretty cool.

316

We got loot value.

317

That's pretty cool Is it the best game ever?

318

No, but now I can give it a goal

319

and have a go improve things I can say hey use the chat gbt image gen model

320

and make assets for the game didn't turn out half bad I hope this was helpful.

321

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
