Hermes Agent Desktop: Full Setup + Real Use Cases

Synopsis

Alex Finn walks through Hermes Desktop, an Apple-style agent interface with sessions, model-mapped profiles (Opus for strategy, ChatGPT for coding, local Qwen for free), artifacts as a second brain, skills, tool sets, messaging, cron jobs and sub-agents. He demos reverse-prompting from a personal brain dump, argues the biggest opportunity is pointing your agent at Reddit and X to surface real problems to solve, and reframes AI cost as investment.
