Summary
Hermes Agent Computer Use Update: Background Desktop Control Now on Windows, Linux & macOSHermes Agent’s “computer use” feature has a new update adding Windows and Linux support and improving macOS, allowing Hermes Jarvis to control a computer by reading the screen and clicking/typing in the background without moving your real cursor or interrupting your work. The script demos opening Obsidian, websites, Google, and writing a note via real-time mode and a more powerful agent mode that can run tasks in the background. It explains the “Hermes Takeover Engine” workflow, emphasizes cross-OS support, and notes you can use different AI “brains” (including local/free options) rather than being locked to one model. Safety is highlighted through approval prompts before potentially destructive actions, plus a stop button. The episode contrasts this with slower, screen-taking tools like Claude Computer Use and promotes the AI Profit Boardroom/Agent OS for setup, training, and support. 00:00 Update Overview 00:16 Live Demo Basics 00:37 Agent Mode Tasks 01:18 Voice Interaction Demo 01:43 Takeover Engine Explained 02:57 Five Step Quiet Control 03:43 Models Setup Commands 05:45 Agent OS Pitch 06:20 Safety Approvals 06:52 Why Hermes Beats Others 08:40 Key Takeaways 09:07 Join And Wrap Up
