Recommended for advanced users only. - Integrate Hermes into an existing Claude Code dashboard by feeding Hermes's GitHub documentation to Claude and asking it to build the integration. - Set scheduled tasks inside Hermes for recurring automations — for example, daily checks of who hasn't replied to an email, with automatic follow-up reminders. ## Connecting Hermes to Obsidian Obsidian is a local note-taking app that can serve as a "second brain" — a web of notes about your clients, goals, projects, and past decisions. When you connect Hermes to Obsidian, two things happen: Hermes auto-saves each conversation session as a note (so you don't have to manually log what you've done), and it reads your existing notes to provide context-aware, personalized suggestions. To connect them, just ask Hermes to sync to your local Obsidian folder. If you're running Hermes on a VPS, a direct link is also possible. The connection takes a few minutes to establish. ## Multiple Profiles for Specialist Agents If you need separate agents for different purposes — say, one tuned for coding tasks and another for client outreach — you can create named profiles, each with its own environment variables, soul file, memory, and skill set. The commands are straightforward: ``` hermes profile create coder coder setup ``` Julian recommends starting with a single profile and only adding more once you have a specific, well-defined reason for separation. For 90% of users, one Hermes profile covering everything is the better approach. ## More Hermes news [▶ GPT-5.6 in Hermes Agent: Setup, Reasoning Level & 3 Use Cases 2026-07-15](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-07-15-gpt-5-6-in-hermes-setup/) [▶ Hermes Cloud: Deploy an Always-On 24/7 Agent in 60 Seconds 2026-07-13](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-07-13-hermes-cloud-always-on-agent/) [▶ 9 Hermes Agent Lessons From 100+ Hours: Models, Failover, Tailscale, Crons 2026-07-08](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-07-08-hermes-agent-9-lessons/) [▶ Screenshot to Working App in Hermes: One-Prompt Clone Test 2026-07-07](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-07-07-hermes-screenshot-to-app-fugu/) [▶ Hermes Agent Update: Mixture of Agents, /learn, /journey & Fable 5 Setup 2026-07-06](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-07-06-hermes-update-mixture-of-agents/) [▶ Headroom + Ollama: Compress Agent Context to Cut Tokens Locally 2026-07-05](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/videos/2026-07-05-headroom-ollama-token-compression/) [See all Hermes news →](https://openclawdatabase.com/news/hermes/) ## Go deeper: Hermes guides Hands-on guides to put this into practice: [⚡ Quick Start — 20 Minutes](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/setup/) [🧠 Persistent Memory Architecture](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/memory/) [🗓 Long-Running Tasks & Scheduling](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/tasks/) [⚖️ Hermes vs OpenClaw](https://openclawdatabase.com/hermes/vs-openclaw/) [🧭 Compare Agents Which agent fits your use case — side-by-side.](https://openclawdatabase.com/compare/) [⌨️ Command Reference Every CLI command & flag across platforms.](https://openclawdatabase.com/commands/)
