## Resource

Hermes Loop Engine: Automate Quality Control With a Builder + Judge SystemThe script introduces a Hermes loop engineering system designed to improve output quality from Hermes agents, especially when using free, cheap, or local models. The process is: you define what “done” means, a builder model drafts the work, and a separate judge model grades it out of 100 and lists issues; the feedback is fed back to the builder and the loop repeats until it passes or reaches a set maximum number of rounds. The system runs in a UI inside the Agent OS within the AI Profit Boardroom, supports swapping builder and judge models, saves full round-by-round records to a vault, and aims to reduce babysitting, automate quality control, and stop you from manually iterating on drafts for tasks like cold emails, ads, landing pages, coding, SOPs, websites, apps, and more. 00:00 Hermes Loop Overview 01:05 Inside the Loop Engine 02:28 Why Loops Beat Babysitting 03:28 Make the Switch Today 04:13 Five Part Framework 05:33 Step One Define Done 06:31 Pick Models And Run 07:15 Graded Results And Logs 07:57 Use Cases And Objections 09:10 What Changes After Setup 09:50 Get The Full System 11:17 Final Sign Off
