Ad & SEO agencies can add 5-10 clients without making a single hire by rolling out hermes to their agency.
The problem is most agency owners don't have time to figure out how to install it, where to start, or what to actually hand it first.
So my team built an 83-page playbook that does it for you.
Inside:
— The 5 daily prompts that turn it into a second brain
— Plain English setup for Mac, Linux, and Android
— How to lock it down without torching client data
— 8 copy-paste workflows across reporting, outreach, sales, and ops
— The cron trick that drops token spend by 90%
10 new clients at 5k/mo= 50k/mo in new profit just from this one tool.
Comment HERMES and I'll send it.

how to set up hermes agent step by step. built-in memory, 40+ tools, works on your phone, and what to think of hermes vs openclaw: 1. hermes is a personal AI agent that runs in your terminal. think of it like open claw but with built-in memory, 40+ tools out of the box, and 90% cheaper token costs. you install it with one command. 2. the 3 problems with open claw that hermes solves: no memory (you keep repeating yourself), constant gateway restarts, and zero visibility into what you're spending on tokens. 3. hermes remembers everything. every completed task gets saved to memory. it searches through past logs to find solutions. over time it literally gets smarter at your specific workflows. 4. connect it to open router. you see exact costs per model per task. free models rotate weekly. one founder went from $130 every five days on open claw to $10 on hermes. same output. 5. it comes preloaded with skills. apple notes, imessage, find my, browser, web search, image generation, cron jobs. no hunting for plugins. 6. connect it to obsidian so it reads your entire vault. connect it to gstack for your dev environment. create custom skills for your specific workflows. 7. the biggest money saver: have it write code once for recurring tasks. then it runs without burning tokens every time. stop paying an LLM to do the same scrape or report daily. 8. run it on android via telegram. name your agents. talk to them like coworkers. in this episode imran shows you how to set this up. 9. you can run it bare metal, in docker, or serverless on modal. pick your risk level. i begged @imranye to come on @startupideaspod and walk through the full installation live. he made it impossibly clear. if you've heard of Hermes Agent and want the clearest explanation of how to get set up like a pro let me know what you want me to cover on the next ep this is the best personal agent setup video on the internet right now. watch

This guy did $120,000 in his second month of business and $40,000 of that was profit.
He's only six months in.
His entire business started because he got a random assignment at a sales competition in Norway where he had to cold call people and pitch birthday cakes.
He booked 17 meetings in four hours.
That's when he realized he stumbled onto something big.
He built the business to $150,000 ARR in Norway, then moved to San Francisco and pivoted the entire model when the birthday angle didn't work in America.
The new version converts at 35% to meetings. Cold calling averages 2-3%.
What is it? Cold caking.
He sends cakes to prospects on behalf of B2B companies trying to close deals.
One dentist software company just ordered 1,000 cakes to send to dental offices across the country.
In this episode William breaks down:
- Why the dead internet theory makes physical gifting the future of outbound sales
- How his AI agent negotiates with bakeries in 15 cities without him touching it
- The exact margins on each cake
- Why cold caking works when cold calls and emails are dying
- How one viral tweet turned zero revenue into $120,000/month in six weeks
This one is crazy! I love entrepreneurship.

@cathrynlavery @runsonai @openclaw Have you guys rebuilt from scratch by any chance?
I keep running into config issues after all the upgrades and my original install from early Feb to now keeps getting more unstable.
Debating on using Hermes as fixer or a complete rebuild.
Thoughts?

🦞 slow openclaw?
I upgraded @openclaw Ops Manager skill into something way more operator-grade.
• session-purge.sh → cleans stale session rows, orphan transcripts, and backup junk
• prompt-truncation-report.sh → shows which agents are getting bootstrap warnings and why
• cron-optimize.sh + cron-error-inspector.sh → finds bad cron defaults and makes failures readable
• context-audit.sh → tells me which AGENTS / MEMORY / SOUL files are getting too fat
Cathryn@cathrynlavery
🦞updated my openclaw-ops skill with a script to check and enable the GPT-5.x performance settings that are set to off by default. Includes: • strict execution mode • thinking level • personality overlay • native codex harness. scripts/codex-perf-check.sh link below 👇

@_The_Prophet__ Looks like this strike has no meaningful impact? They survived the vote yesterday and business was as usual on the streets.
English
⚡️This government is done.
The timeline is the only question.
The €505 million package was the government’s best move and it was irrelevant within hours. That tells you something fundamental about where the energy is. The money was calibrated to end a fuel protest. But by Sunday evening this isn’t a fuel protest anymore. McGregor calling for dissolution of the Dáil, Sinn Fein tabling no confidence, a national strike called for Monday morning. Three simultaneous vectors aimed at the same target. The government is trying to put out a fire that has already moved to a different building.
“Dáil 34 WILL BE DISSOLVED.” He named the parliament by number. That’s a political objective stated plainly by someone with more reach than every Irish media outlet combined. The government has no counter to this. They can’t outspend it because the demands have moved past money. They can’t discredit him because he’s more popular than any of them. They can’t ignore him because the entire country is reading it.
The real thing nobody wants to say: the liberal democratic model of governance assumes that the people who run the physical economy will always keep running it regardless of what policies get imposed on them. Ireland just proved that assumption wrong in six days. The administrative class governs at the pleasure of the productive class, not the other way around. That truth has been obscured for decades by complexity, by financialization, by the comfortable distance between policy and consequence. The Iran war closed that distance overnight. Diesel went up 70% and suddenly the relationship between the people who make decisions and the people who drive trucks became very simple and very clear.
What happens tomorrow depends on turnout. If shops actually close and streets actually fill, Martin is governing a country that has already moved on without him. The no confidence vote becomes a formality. Not because the numbers flip but because the legitimacy is already gone.
You can’t govern people who have stopped consenting to be governed by you.
That’s what Ireland looks like right now.

National Strike Tomorrow, we are SHUTTING DOWN HARD! 🇮🇪 We stand shoulder to shoulder with our fuel protesters, farmers, truckers, hauliers, and all the hard working Irish that have been left without so much as a hope of survival under this tyrannical government reign. While Irish families are freezing in their homes and businesses are being bled dry by extortionate energy costs, those in power continue to squander our money, carve up our land, and lie to our faces with arrogant contempt. We are closing our doors, our shops, our sites, and our businesses so that the voice of the Irish people roars louder than their excuses, their lies, and their broken promises. No more bleeding the Irish worker dry! No more sacrificing our families, our farms, and our future on the altar of radical green ideology and endless foreign wars! We are Ireland! This is our stand for survival. This is our stand for sovereignty. This is Ireland First. National Strike in full effect. We will not be silenced. We will not back down. We will not surrender our country. We are only warming up. To every farmer, haulier, trucker, builder, shopkeeper, factory worker, and every hardworking Irish man and woman JOIN US. Shut it down. They will feel the pain they have inflicted on us. Rise up, Ireland! 🇮🇪🔥 Dáil 34 WILL BE DISSOLVED.

Just a heads up, Irans oil storage facilities are about 65% full. If oil doesn’t move they will use those facilities until they are full. Once that happens, in about 13 days things get interesting. They will have to shut down some wells cause there is nowhere to go with the oil.
Once that happens water seeps into those wells and it’s crazy hard to bring them back online.
Iran has 13 days to figure this out.
Tick, Tock.
English
All of this happened in about six weeks.
The Iran war was never just about Iran. The blockade was never just about Hormuz. The Venezuela operation was never just about Maduro.
Each one was a node in a network of moves that collectively restructured who controls the world’s energy and on what terms.
The United States just seized more control over global energy than any single nation has held since the British Empire ran the seas.
English
⚡️The United States is restructuring global energy flows to maximize American leverage over every major trading partner simultaneously.
Not just one country. Everyone:

what you missed in AI this week
let’s break it all down
⇨ GLM-5.1 open sourced… a model under MIT license that beat GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6 on SWE-Bench Pro. it can work on its own for 8 hours straight… the “open source is always late” narrative is closing.
⇨ Seedance 2.0 went global and is now available in the US… ByteDance literally dropped a video model so damn good that it takes basically any input and spits out cinematic videos with real audio baked in…. biggest video gen leap this month and most people haven’t even used it yet.
⇨ Grok has been stacking major wins… new image gen modes, two models sitting in the global top 3 for medical AI, and Grok 5 training is on track… Elon claims Grok will be as good as Opus if not better by June… sharing SpaceXAI Colossus 2 now has 7 models in training: Imagine V2, 2 variants of 1T, 2 variants of 1.5T, 6T, and 10T… the 10T would be the largest model any company has ever publicly announced. 2 month pretraining window. Musk is also requiring every bank and law firm working on the SpaceX IPO to buy Grok subscriptions… Goldman, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley already agreed. SpaceX is targeting a June IPO above $2 trillion... it’ll be the largest listing in history if it happens.
⇨ Google open sourced Gemma 4… free to use, surprisingly powerful, and small enough to actually run yourself.… a huge gift to builders
⇨ Qwen 3.6 Plus… Alibaba’s new flagship with a 1 million token context window…. always-on reasoning, no toggle. designed to code entire repos on its own. free during preview.
⇨ Anthropic announced Claude Mythos… a cybersecurity model so apparently dangerous they’ve locked it behind a private group of the biggest tech companies on earth calling it Project Glasswing. defensive use only and not public… also sharing their run rate for April has surpassed $30B
⇨ OpenAI restructured pricing… new $100/month Pro tier, Codex usage rebalanced across plans, and GPT-4o officially retired from all plans… they’re reorganizing everything around GPT-5.4 and agentic coding… OpenAI also raised $122 billion (largest funding round in history and they also acquired TBPN)… and shared GPT-5.5 pretraining is done with an expected Q2 release
⇨ DeepSeek V4 is imminent… not launched yet but the signals are loud… new instant and expert modes in the app, test interfaces leaking, and Reuters confirmed it’ll run on Huawei chips. the first frontier model that doesn’t need NVIDIA? 👀
⇨ Cursor 3.0… new workspace for managing multiple parallel agents (local, cloud, remote). bugbot now self-improves from your feedback… MCP support added… highest fix resolution rate they’ve ever shipped.
⇨ OpenClaw… three updates in five days. built-in video/music generation, persistent memory, local speech mode, and Codex support. open source teams are not slowing down either.
⇨ Hermes Agent (Nous Research)… v0.8.0 added native Google AI Studio support, live model switching mid-task, and background task notifications. MiniMax partnership announced.
⇨ Sync-3 launched… the best AI lipsync model released so far for creators. handles extreme angles, side profiles, obstructions, and closed mouths well. a big upgrade for anyone in AI storytelling or worldbuilding
⇨ Meta, Microsoft, and Alibaba… all shipped new models this week too…. with Meta’s Muse Spark now doing visual reasoning across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Microsoft dropped dedicated voice, transcription, and image models. Alibaba released Wan 2.1 open source video. nobody’s slowing down here
every lab shipped something this week.
the difference between people building with these tools and the people reading about them is now measured in days and weeks, not months or years
if you’re not following me already, you’ll find out about all of this 7 days later from someone who read my post.
you should probably fix that

Starting today, $5 from every DNA kit I sell goes to the veteran SF community.
I'm looking for the best military nonprofits doing real work with psychedelic-assisted therapy. Ibogaine, psilocybin, MDMA. Programs treating PTSD, not just talking about it.
I could not care less about celebrities or their lives or morning routines or what kind of fucking water they drink.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for the men and women fighting and keeping this country safe making America the best country on earth.
When someone says you have a 1% chance of survival and you don't die. That is what I admire the most.
If you know one, drop it in a reply.

Just checked that setting and get:
Currently, the setting plugins.entries.openai.config.personality is not defined in your OpenClaw configuration file (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json).
The openai plugin entry only has the following block:
There is no config or personality key set.
Then again, I'm running into all kind of problems with 4.5 upgrade.
Switched from claude to openai 5.4 on Friday night and everything was great.
Upgraded to 4.5 and now Openai will not work at all and gives me permission errors: 401 You have insufficient permissions for this operation. Missing scopes: model.request. Check that you have the correct role in your organization (Reader, Writer, Owner) and project (Member, Owner), and if you're using a restricted API key, that it has the necessary scopes.; falling back to truncation
Finally got it to work on gemini api right now.

@openclaw This is auto-enabled. openclaw config get plugins.entries.openai.config.personality
If issues could be conflicting with SOUL.md. Also to disable, openclaw config set plugins.entries.openai.config.personality off

Marc Andreessen: Software isn't precious anymore. In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available. "We've always lived in a world in which software is this precious thing that you have to think about very carefully." "It was really hard to generate good software, and there was only a small number of people who could do it." "Those days are just over." "If you need new software to do X, Y, or Z, you're just going to wave your hand and get it." "Things that used to be hard, or even seem like an insurmountable mountain to get through, all of a sudden, I think, become very easy." @pmarca with @latentspacepod

My Hermes agent has been coding non-stop since Sat (5 days in a row). Just shipping with claude, codex and qwen. Longest running session of an agent I've seen and Hermes orchestrates it beautifully. Did user test and it worked great. This is the future.
