Summary
Hermes Just Added Async Sub-Agents: Delegate Tasks in the Background (No More Frozen Chat)Hermes now supports asynchronous sub-agents via a new Delegate tool that can spawn multiple workers at once, running jobs in the background so chat no longer freezes. After updating Hermes (via terminal command or dashboard), you can give a lead Hermes agent a single goal and have it fan out tasks to temporary sub-agents, each with its own thread, goal, and context, dispatched in about two milliseconds using delegate task with background=true. Results return to the chat as each worker finishes, enabling parallel workflows like generating and deploying multiple SEO articles from one keyword. The script compares the old blocking, sequential approach to the new parallel “hive” model, notes you can use plain English, and mentions using different APIs per worker. It also promotes the AI Profit Boardroom’s agent operating system, training, roadmap, community, and coaching calls. 00:00 Async Sub Agents Launch 00:15 Update Hermes Fast 00:41 SEO Funnel Demo 00:56 Why Background Mode Wins 01:17 Real Deployment Example 02:15 Profiles And Temporary Agents 02:44 How Delegate Works 03:45 Parallel Workers Returning Results 04:25 Old Versus New Workflow 05:04 Keeping Control And Avoiding Chaos 05:31 Quick Recap And Next Steps 06:30 Multiply Output With Boardroom 07:21 Community And Coaching Details 07:40 Final Thanks
