## Resource

Hermes Agent v0.15 (Velocity) Update: Agent Swarms, 1-Second Launch, Faster Search, Security & Skill BundlesThe video covers the new free Hermes Agent v0.15 “Velocity” release, focused on major speed and productivity upgrades. It explains how to update via the terminal using “Hermes update,” and highlights six improvements: dramatically faster startup after a major refactor that reduced the codebase by 76%, an upgraded Kanban that now supports multi-agent workflows where one task is split into subtasks completed in parallel by multiple agent profiles (Agent Swarms), and a rebuilt chat/session search that’s claimed to be 4,500× faster (20 ms vs 90 s) without using an LLM. The update also adds stronger security with Bitwarden Secrets Manager and a single shared vault for keys, push notifications when jobs finish, and improved skill bundles that let users load multiple skills at once (e.g., browser tools). 00:00 Velocity Update Overview 00:40 How to Update Hermes 00:59 Faster Startup Refactor 01:28 Kanban Multi Agent Teams 03:12 Agent Swarms In Action 04:07 Agent OS Plug 04:26 Instant Chat Search 05:14 Security Vault Protection 05:52 Push Notifications 06:14 Skill Bundles Setup 06:48 Recap And Upgrade Steps 07:38 Boardroom Offer And Wrap
