## Resource

Build Your Own AI Operating System with Hermes Agent (Free Models, Memory, Video Pipelines & More)The video explains how to build an “AI operating system” using Hermes Agent to manage multiple AI workers (writing, editing, judging) in one place, swap in new models as they appear, and keep workflows like video creation, SEO, games, music, and lead gen organized and reusable. It contrasts this approach with Hermes Desktop (limited to Hermes and less visual) and n8n (more technical, messy, and break-prone), and shows examples like building games and fully edited videos using the Hyperframes skill plus optional HeyGen. It covers cost and token control via coding plans (e.g., Kimi, GLM 5.2), free OpenRouter APIs, OAuth logins, Headroom token reduction, and free models via News Portal. The system uses an Obsidian “second brain” for shared memory and context, includes voice features like Jarvis, supports VPS setups, and is distributed and updated via the AI Profit Boardroom community. 00:00 Build Your AI OS 00:48 Why Agent OS Wins 02:18 Hermes Desktop Limits 04:09 Custom UI Examples 04:36 Cut Costs With Free 07:24 Obsidian Memory Brain 09:29 AI Video Factory 11:45 n8n Versus Agent OS 12:50 Safety And Guardrails 13:34 Free Models Setup 14:48 Jarvis Voice Control 16:12 VPS And Updates 17:10 Build One Workflow 18:28 Model Swap Flexibility 19:28 KimiCode Review 20:32 Community Wins Showcase 22:47 Markdown Token Saver 23:05 Wrap Up And Next Steps
