## Resource

Hermes Agent Goals Mode: Run Autonomous 24/7 Tasks for Free (No More “Keep Going”)The video introduces Hermes Agent’s new free “Goals” update, which lets users set a long-horizon objective once and have the agent run autonomously until completion without repeated prompts. It demonstrates launching a goal to create and host a blog, then explains how Goals mode works via a persistent standing objective, a conservative judge model that decides after each turn whether to continue, and an adjustable default 20-turn budget with auto-pause and resume. The script contrasts this with the old workflow that required constant “keep going” prompts, context loss, and human babysitting. It covers commands like /goal status, pause, resume, and clear, notes local goal-state persistence and per-goal directories, briefly discusses preferred tools/LLMs (including Grok 4.3 and Antigravity CLI), and ends by promoting the AI Profit Boardroom for an agent OS setup, roadmap, coaching, and community. 00:00 Goals Update Overview 00:43 Launching Your First Goal 02:11 How Goal Mode Works 03:37 Old Way vs New Way 05:50 Live Q&A Tooling Talk 06:36 Judge Budget Loop Explained 07:28 Commands Examples Persistence 08:15 Free Setup Use Cases 08:59 Common Objections Recap 09:56 Boardroom Offer Closing 11:03 Thanks For Watching
