The host walks through updating Hermes, installing Computer Use via a CLI command, granting macOS Accessibility permissions, and notes it’s experimental with safety guardrails and approval prompts for risky actions. They demonstrate Hermes opening Apple Notes and creating a new, personalized journal note with ten time-saving ideas, then attempt a more complex Obsidian organization task that proves slower and less reliable. They also show Hermes opening Terminal to run Hermes and type “hello,” discuss model options (needs vision), token/screenshot costs, and how to switch/setup models, and direct viewers to the AI Profit Boardroom for a guide with prompts and a roadmap. 00:00 Hermes Gets Superpowers 01:02 What Computer Use Does 01:40 Install and Update Hermes 03:34 Permissions and Safety Notes 04:50 How to Use It 06:17 Quick Test Open Notes 06:53 Auto Journal Note Demo 08:37 Obsidian Second Brain Attempt 10:18 Prompting Framework 11:51 Models Costs and Limits 13:37 Hermes Talks to Itself 15:50 Results Recap and Limits 16:56 Common Objections Answered 17:50 Guide and Community Plug 18:56 Switch Models in Hermes","meta_description":"Hermes Agent Computer Use (New Update): Your Mac AI That Clicks, Types & Works in the BackgroundThe video covers a new “Computer Use” update for Herme…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1164,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ai-news-today-julian-goldie-podcast-7573784/episodes/new-free-hermes-computer-use-agents/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ai-news-today-julian-goldie-podcast-7573784/new-free-hermes-computer-use-agents.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
