Five Hermes Agent Workflows Run From a Dashboard Instead of the Terminal

Chapters / key moments (click to jump — plays here on the page)

Julian Goldie walks through five Hermes Agent workflows run from a dashboard rather than a terminal: a news radar that scores trending AI stories on a schedule, a lead-list builder that drafts per-person outreach for manual approval, a one-click video pipeline built on Remotion and Hyperframes, an SEO pipeline that reads Google Search Console data and deploys pages via Netlify, and a "loop engineer" that pairs a builder model with an adversarial judge model that re-runs the work until it passes a stated definition of done. The dashboard shown is the presenter's paid bundle, so this is a demonstration of what the workflows look like rather than a reproducible install — the reusable ideas are the builder-judge review loop and keeping agent output in searchable memory instead of terminal scrollback.

What you can actually set up from this

Extracted from the video's own transcript — the specifics the original summary left out.

Reproducible steps

What the setup is
Hermes Agent is the free open-source agent; "Agent OS" is the speaker's own dashboard that sits in front of it, so scheduled jobs, saved work and memory are visible in one place instead of a terminal. The dashboard itself is sold as part of his paid community.
1. Oracle (news radar)
A scheduled Hermes job refreshes every 24 hours: it scans trending AI news and posts, grades and sorts them by size of story, and lists each with an angle and source link. A "consult Oracle" button fetches a fresh batch on demand; one click drafts a social post or sends an article to WordPress. Everything it touches is logged to memory so it is searchable later.
2. Lead machine
Describe the people you want in plain English (e.g. agency owners in SEO). Hermes finds them, checks details and drafts a personal email for each. You set a maximum number of messages, review each one, approve and send; campaigns, inbox and send status sit in one tab.
3. One-click video agent
Give a topic; a video-director step writes the script, picks a voice and pulls B-roll into an avatar video, using Hermes plus the free open-source tools Remotion and Hyperframes. You set the length, presenter or voiceover, and avatar.
4. SEO pipeline
Connect Google Search Console, pick a 7, 28 or 90 day window and a topic. It shows ranking, impressions, clicks, average position and page per keyword; on an unanswered question you click "use topic" and Hermes writes the page and deploys it to the site through Netlify, following a stored SEO skill.
5. Loop engineer
Write a definition of done, choose how many rounds it may run and which model acts as judge. A builder produces the work; a separate judge model marks it adversarially, hunting for flaws; the work is redone until it passes.

Gotchas

Start with one hack, not five; he suggests the Oracle first.
Token cost: he suggests pointing Hermes at a CLI you already have, using free APIs, or a free open-source tool called Headroom that compresses context.
For the loop engineer, keep the definition of done short and specific; a vague goal gives the judge nothing to lock onto.
Promotional avatar video; no commands or config are shown, and the claim that one of his sites climbed to a few hundred clicks a day is unverified. Check any Hermes feature named here against the official Hermes documentation.
