## Resource

Make Hermes Agent 10x More Powerful: Autonomy Settings, Local LLMs, and Parallel Agent SwarmsThe video explains how to upgrade Hermes Agent from a basic chat tool into a more autonomous system by adjusting key settings and workflows shared in a Q&A from the AI Profit Boardroom community. It covers solutions for Mac Mini performance issues by running Hermes in the cloud (e.g., Hostinger), and addresses concerns about agents feeling non-proactive by editing the soul.md file to change how the agent thinks and responds, plus using /goal for an autonomous task loop. The script also shows how to run Hermes on Windows/Mac, switch models with /model, and connect to local LLMs via LM Studio or Ollama. It demonstrates running multiple agents in parallel using Hermes Workspace (swarm feature), outlines using profiles for different Telegram groups, compares Hermes vs OpenClaw, and ends with an invitation to join the AI Profit Boardroom for coaching, tutorials, and community support. 00:00 Hermes Agent Upgrade 00:54 Hosting Performance Fixes 01:38 Autonomy Problem Setup 03:09 Soulmd Prompt Tuning 05:26 Goal Loop Automation 06:37 Local Setup Basics 07:03 Local LLM Model Switch 08:21 Parallel Agent Swarms 10:57 Hermes Versus OpenClaw 13:12 Workspace UI Tour 15:22 Telegram Dedicated Agents 16:17 Self Hosted Company Agent 17:34 Wrap Up And Community
