Hermes Agent + Codex Browser Use Updates!

追加: 2026-05-10

[00:00:03]Today we're going to be looking at how to do AI SEO with Hermes Workspace. Now Hermes Workspace, it just got a brand new release. This is like an awesome free mission control for your Hermes agent. You can control your agents. You can create agent swarms. There's all sorts of cool stuff you can do. And it just had a new update for the latest version. So Hermes version 0.13 just dropped. And now Hermes workspace has created an update out of the back of it.

[00:00:32]Right? And this is a free open source project. Now I'm what I'm going to show you is basically how I'm using Hermes agent to do AIO. You can see some examples of it here. Here's another example of a website that is popping off in terms of traffic. I mean, look at this website. It's growing from zero clicks a day all the way up to 346 clicks a day. Here's another website that is growing since we started using Hermes Agent. I mean, previously he was getting one click a day. Now that's growing to 78 clicks per day. And here's another website as well, right? And they're all sort of following the same trajectory because Hermes is so powerful as an AI SEO agent. Now, if you're watching live, feel free to ask any questions as we go along. Otherwise, we're going to get straight into this.

[00:01:16]And if you want to set up Hermes workspace, then it's free to set up with this GitHub, right? So basically, you can install it using this and this will work directly with your Hermes workspace. So you can check it out on on GitHub directly or you can get it from their website which is um as you can see right here. And once you've done that, you can actually get Hermes to run it locally like you can see.

[00:02:00]And then if you already have this installed, what you want to do is just make sure that you have the latest version and the new update, right? Okay.

[00:02:08]And then it's connected.

[00:02:10]So that's what we're doing over here.

[00:02:12]Let me show you an example.

[00:02:18]All right. So we've installed Hermes Workspace. We've just updated the latest version. And what we need to do now is just connect our Hermes agent to the workspace connection over here. And then these will work nicely. All right. So this is Hermes inside the terminal. This is Hermes inside Hermes workspace. And if you want to get access, you can go over here and get it for free. All right. So, what do we get with the new update and why is this so powerful? Well, it's pretty interesting. So, Hermes Workspace is a new release. So, this is V230.

[00:02:52]And they've actually got this interesting game for AI agents that you can play inside here too, which is pretty cool. Let me find this. So, here's an example, right? You can have your AI agents kind of in this game, this real world game playing together, which is pretty insane. These are all AI agents just going off and doing stuff, which is pretty crazy. And then they've they've added a bunch of patches here, but also they've got a new dashboard with widgets as well, which is pretty cool. And there's an agent view panel. Right now, there's some other really cool stuff for Hermes agent. Like for example, what you can actually do is you can create agent swarms. And with agent swarms, you can basically create like and build a full website using this. And you can switch between models and providers pretty quickly as well, right? So if you just want an easier way to manage your agents, this is one of the best ways to do it.

[00:03:59]If you have any issues connecting like you see I have here, I'm just going to paste in the GitHub documentation over to Hermes and just make sure that it gets that fixed and then we can go from here.

[00:04:36]Boom. And we have that working, right?

[00:04:38]So, we just had to paste in the documentation from GitHub, give that to Hermes. Hermes fixed and connected it directly, which is great. Now, you might say, okay, why would you use this? Well, I mean, look at this, right?

[00:04:50]Unless you're a coder or a developer, look at the terminal compared to the workspace here. This is the terminal and this is Hermes workspace. Which one is nicer to use? Of course, it's this one, right? This is way nicer to use, right? And so that's why I'd recommend using this.

[00:05:10]Um it's just way easier and way better to use.

[00:05:19]Now, we got some good questions here.

[00:05:20]So, for example, Kenny asked, "How about Paperclip? Can these two work together?"

[00:05:26]So, I would recommend that if you have a choice between Hermes Workspace and Paperclip, I would go with um actually using paperclipip directly. The reason uh sorry, using Hermes Workspace directly, the reason for that is like it's built it's literally built for using uh Hermes directly, right? It's it's custom designed for Hermes. Whereas you look at something like paperclipip and it can be a bit buggy sometimes with Hermes, it it's just not as useful. And also like you just don't it doesn't feel the same when you use something like paperclipip. I would say Hermes workspace is a lot nicer from everything I've seen.

[00:06:04]Cobra says, "Are you real?" I certainly hope so, my friend.

[00:06:10]I really hope so. Yeah. Um All right.

[00:06:14]So, we're going to carry on on that note.

[00:06:17]And we've got Hermes workspace right here. Now just going to go inside my settings and paste this into. So we it's set up and it's kind of connected here. But you can see there's like an authentication required. So I'm just going to get Hermes agent inside the terminal to connect that as well. Right. I think it's good for you to see this because you can see, okay, what are the issues?

[00:06:42]What's going on here? Blah blah blah.

[00:06:49]and what's going on. Now, one of the really cool things about her site, you can have different profiles. So, you can create a new profile for your agent. You can set up the details here. So, you could put like SEO for example, and then you can change your default model. So, we can for example use GPT 5.5. If you're actually using it for like content writing, then I would use something like Sonic 4.7. From there you can create the profile and then just manage it from here. Now if we go to details here we can actually manage like the config the setup and and how it works etc which which is pretty cool as well.

[00:07:24]We can also activate that. So we can click on activate here and get it running. So SEO is now the agent that we're talking to or we can switch back to the default one over here or to our other agents like we can activate that one right and now what's pretty cool over here is you can manage everything in one session so you can see okay what are the sessions what are the messages how many tool calls etc. Quinn says, "Yo yo yo, good to see it.

[00:07:55]Yo yo yo to you, too." And then over here, we can set up to-do lists, right?

[00:08:00]So, if you using this for SEO, you could explain what needs to be done and then you're going to assign it, right? And so, over this side, you would say, "Okay, what needs to be done? We need to build an AI SEO blog post, something like that. You can put in a description here of what you want it to do exactly. And then you can put in the to-do list or in progress or review etc. What priority it is, who you want to assign it to, the due date and the tax, right? As you can see, and then you can actually get your agents to go off and start, you know, working with these directly. So they can start actually implementing this as a combat board. So you can switch between to-do, backlog, in progress or review. That's a nice little way to manage your agents and you know you can give it tasks from there. So it could be like keyword research. It could be for example building an SEO tool.

[00:08:52]That sort of thing.

[00:08:56]So what we got here? Kenny says, "I'm still not sure about Open Claw versus Hermes. Can you explain a bit more?"

[00:09:02]Yeah, sure. All right. Let's compare these now. So here's how I would look at it. And I put a little column here and we can just compare the two between them. All right.

[00:09:16]So when you're looking at something like for example open claw and then you've got Hermes. Some of the biggest differences here. Number one Hermes self-improving. So it gets better every time. Open claw doesn't get better. Actually after every update it tends to get worse. Right. It's getting worse after each update. The other big issue, well, I mean, both of them are like open source, so they're both open source projects, which is pretty cool and also free, which is great.

[00:09:58]So unlike for example claw code or something like that, these are both open source pre- projects. The other thing I would say here is like more updates daily. So open claw release updates daily whereas for example something like Hermes they update weekly and also if you look at the updates with Hermes Hermes recent updates are all about becoming more autonomous right so for example you look at cam boards that they've released recently goals you look at stuff like that and you think wow they're they're really trying to create something that's super autonomous as an AI agent when you actually look at something like for example openclaw They're just trying to stay stable.

[00:10:42]They're they're really and they're struggling, you know, that's that's a big issue here. And also, if you look at open router and the usage of both. If you go over to open router and we have a look and we see, okay, what's trending here? What apps are using which right?

[00:10:58]So we can have a look at for example open claw we can have a look at her top two most popular agents on open router in the world. So if we have a look at open uh open claw you can see the trajectory here it's going down right it's going down quite a lot significantly if you ask me right now you look at Hermes and you look at the trajectory of Hermes and you see okay that's a project that's getting better all the time and more and more people are using it so open claw is getting worse with each update Hermes is getting better with every update Right.

[00:11:36]And then also big difference in the owners. So Peter Steinberger plus OpenAI are both behind open claw along with the open source community right there's a lot of open source contributors.

[00:11:55]If you look at who's behind Hermes, Hermes agent, basically you've got news research which one of the most respected AI labs in the world plus have their own models, right? Or if you look at something like for example open clock, they don't have their own models behind it. You could say OpenAI have their own models, but OpenAI are more like behind the scenes and have really just hired Peter Steinberger. It's not like OpenClaw themselves have got a model called OpenClaw whereas Hermes actually has models called Hermes, right? So that's the differences here. So just to recap, Open Claw is getting worse after each update. Open Source Plus free more updates daily trying to stay stable. Um and Peter Steinburg and opening up behind it. Hermes self-improving gets better every time. open source updates weekly, not daily.

[00:12:50]Recent updates are all about becoming more autonomous and powerful. Hermes is getting um better with every update.

[00:12:59]And also, if you look at the trajectory, more people want Hermes as we saw with Open Routters chart before, whereas OpenClaw is declining as a project, right? less and less people are using AI agents like open core. So those are the the big differences between them. I would say I would I mean if you have time try them both see what you think. But that's what I would say between them. They're the biggest differences.

[00:13:33]Those are some crazy looking headphones.

[00:13:35]Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate that.

[00:13:40]So that's basically it. So, we've talked about how to do AIO with the camb board here. We also got something called cool conductor. So, this is kind of like an office. As you can see here, I want to also see where is the um something I want to check out here, which is Hermes world integration. How do we get to that?

[00:14:16]I'm going to go inside Hermes and ask it.

[00:14:44]So, it's taking a look here. It's going to give us some ideas. You can see our agents like working around here. By the way, these are officer Hermes agents working together.

[00:14:58]He's real because he can say alarm.

[00:15:00]There we go.

[00:15:02]Thanks, man. Happy tub.

[00:15:13]Hermes is best. What about the update?

[00:15:16]Uh, it's working pretty well for me so far and we're using it with GT5.5. It's just having a look at the details here. So then what we've also got is swarms.

[00:15:27]Right now with agent swarms inside Hermes workspace, you can give it a mission and then it will go off and build that. Right. So as an example of this we actually built out this example right here.

[00:15:47]Um and this is a full website that we built out with a mission inside Agent Swarms, right? and it's built out the blog post, built out all the design, it's added the internal links, the CTAs, etc. throughout the website, optimized it for all the keywords, planned out the strategy before I actually built it, etc. Right? Now, the way that you can do that is you can go into agent swarms like so. You just describe a mission.

[00:16:10]So, you would say, "Okay, go off build me a website. Go off do my keyword strategy. Go off do um do a full SEO strategy for my website." Right? And it's pretty powerful for doing that. You can see an example right here. So that's basically how it works directly.

[00:16:33]And then you can also add like knowledge, you can add memories, etc., which is pretty cool. But there's so much cool stuff here. I mean, even the fact that you can build out a whole website is pretty amazing itself.

[00:16:45]Pretty crazy stuff.

[00:16:48]You see, it's nicely designed and everything else.

[00:16:53]Uh, what do you use for AI avatars? I have a lot of training on that inside the AI profitable boardroom. So, I definitely recommend checking out link in the comments description or go to the air profitboard.com.

[00:17:04]How you find in Omni OMI? Yeah, it's really good. I like OMI. Uh, it's really powerful. It's if people watching this are not familiar with it. Basically, OMI is like a way of um it's it's a powerful way of like recording everything that you do and then it will create to-do list for you. It will create a lot of context for you, add tasks, or add memories and that sort of thing as you can see right here. And um then what you can actually do is the way that I like to do this is I will export that into Obsidian, right? So I can export that to a memory file inside Obsidian and then it stores all my memories, right? Right, we literally got like a thousand memories inside there inside Obsidian, which is crazy.

[00:17:47]And then I can give that memory MD file to my AI agents so that they have a lot of context on exactly how it works and what I'm working on, what I do, etc. And I think that's like one of the the most powerful ways you can use AI agents is just giving it a lot of information and context in terms of what you do, how you do it, what you work on dayto-day.

[00:18:07]Because the more context your AI agents have in terms of what you do and what you work on, the better they're going to be at understanding how to help you and that is the goal, right? That's what we're all focused about. So, I really love it and and that's what we're really about. So, you can see here that it is now fixing some things. Good job. We got Hermes here to help us set this up to be honest with you.

[00:18:30]But yeah, I mean that's another powerful way of using this, right? So like if you for example if you uh use OMI and you sync this to your apps then the cool thing about this is when you sync this to Obsidian and you plug that inside AI agents like for example Hermes well the content that you create is going to be hyper relevant because it's going to be written from first person and it's going to have unique details about the project that no other AI has right and so your content becomes better for um AI SEO, it becomes better for ranking. It becomes more interesting, right? It's better for personal branding because the AI understands you, who you are, what you do, etc., day-to-day on a level that maybe even you don't realize, right?

[00:19:14]Because it's it's just understanding everything. So, this is just checking the page. Let's have a look here. We should be on the new version now.

[00:19:50]Then we're just going to log into this.

[00:19:53]Boom. We're in. There we go. Ah, look at that. So, we've got this new setup here.

[00:20:00]This is pretty cool. So, our AI agent, I mean, this is not related to SEO at this point, right? This is just something fun that you can check out yourself. But if we put in, for example, our name here, >> this is our Hermes agent in a game, right? How cool is that? I've never seen any I've seen like obviously interesting setups where you can use Hermes agents like kind of running around or using the office like we had before and I showed that earlier on screen, but this is next level. Like look at that. That is wild. And there's 39 humans um on here. This is crazy stuff, right? There's even a chat here.

[00:20:44]Yeah. Then you can post.

[00:20:48]This is crazy.

[00:20:50]This is wild, right? So, you can just play this game. You can run around. I think you can talk to people as well.

[00:20:56]And uh you heard me say a student is having a great time.

[00:21:00]So that's a cool little thing. You can actually speak inside there as well. So it actually gives you missions and then you can go off and speak to them and that sort of thing. But it's it's wild how you can use this. Right now another cool thing that you can do is you can create videos inside Hermes as well. So we can go inside here for example um we can say okay create a video with hyperframes short animation about AI SEO something like that right and so that's using a skill that Hermes now has with the latest updates that can generate videos now why would you want to create videos for AI SEO let me show you some interesting examples So if we create a video, it will typically rank inside AI search engines like this.

[00:21:54]It's like Google overviews on the sidebar inside the actual um AI overview as you can see right here. And it can rank within like sometimes within hours, you know, within 10 to 12 hours. You can also see us ranking here multiple times.

[00:22:08]And if we go to AI mode as well, let's just double check this. Yeah, you can see that our videos come out top, right?

[00:22:15]they come out top for SEO. So, if you are thinking about using Hermes for SEO, video is one of the most powerful ways that you can use it, right? Crazy stuff.

[00:22:26]And you can see here it's like, right, I'll create that video um generate it and verify it. You can even link that to Hey Gen and then you can use Hey Gen for avatar videos. And again, like you just target your keyword, you publish it, you post it on social media, boom, you could rank with AI SEO. So, there's multiple different ways that you can use um Hermes in Hermes Workspace for AICO. So, just to recap, we built out a full website with agent swarms. We created videos with hyperframes inside the chat.

[00:22:52]We played a little game inside Hermes World. Not really related to AICO, but it's pretty fun to just check that out.

[00:22:57]I mean, how amazing is that? And then also, we talked about the differences between OpenClaw and Hermes as well today. Top of that, I showed you the camb board and how you can create websites directly from that too. So, there's so many different ways you can use this. Hermes workspace for AICO. I absolutely love it. Super powerful. Um, and you can go back to your previous chats here. So, you can actually see your previous sessions and that sort of thing.

[00:23:20]That's it. Let's see what we got in the chat here.

[00:23:25]That's cool having a 3D world. We can all interact, swap skills, etc. Absolutely. Um, yeah, it's really awesome.

[00:23:35]I gave my Hermes hyperframes an open design. Um, it works pretty well. Yeah, 100%. It's It's really really cool.

[00:23:42]Really cool. All right, so thanks very much for watching.

[00:25:24]Thanks for watching.

[00:25:45]So, we have a brand new update from Codeex and Codeex has released a new powerful update inside Chrome so that it can control your browser. This is a brand new browser AI agent that is super powerful. I actually tested it out and I thought, ah, maybe it'll be okay. No, like it actually it works really well.

[00:26:07]It's very, very fast. It's probably the best browser use agent I've seen so far.

[00:26:12]The way that you can get access is number one, you need to have codeex downloaded. And I'll show you a quick example of how this works before we get into that. So for example here if we like okay go to google.com and we'll just open up a new tab here um just as an example right so if we're like go to google.com all right so it's looking at Chrome here it's connecting to Chrome using the browser use AI agent it's then going to navigate via our browser you can see it's typing the text over here. So, this is the AI agent browsing. It's not me.

[00:26:54]I'm not doing anything here. And then it navigates to Google pretty quickly, right? And so, you can use this powerful browser use automation. Um, and there's multiple ways. I'm going to show you exactly how to do this in a second, but it's pretty powerful stuff. So, how do you actually do it? How do you use it, etc. All right, so let me show you an example. So, first thing you need to do is download Codeex.

[00:27:16]If you don't have codeex already, you can go to openaii.com and then codeex, right? And this is one of my favorite like AI super apps right now. It can automate pretty much everything. You know, we've built all sorts of tools. We've automated uh emails. We built landing pages with it.

[00:27:34]We we've, you know, created all sorts of crazy stuff. But one of the best things that you can do with this is the new browse agents, right? So, what you want to do is you want to go to plugins here and then you're going to get Chrome, right? So, you go to plugins and then Chrome. Now, if you've already got Codeex installed, you need to make sure that you update it, right? So, make sure you update Codeex before you try this.

[00:27:58]Then go to plugins. You'll see Chrome over here. And this um can do all sorts of crazy stuff. As you can see right here, it's actually a skill which allows it to use Chrome, right? So you can see here that it's got a full skill um where it basically whenever I mention Chrome it will use that browser use agent as you can see right here. Now the other thing that you need to do is make sure you have this enabled. So you can see here for example we've got Chrome and Codeex connected. when you actually go to the plug-in inside codeex, it will set that up for you. And then you can see all the skills here and how it's working, right? And so it has like a full markdown file, very in-depth guide explaining to AI agents exactly how to use um this powerful tool, right? So let me show you an example of how this works. So if we went to a new chat here and we're like, right, okay, just as an example, go to chatch.com and create an image of a cat, right?

[00:29:00]just, you know, random example, but we'll show you how to do this, right?

[00:29:06]And I'm actually going to say go to Chrome. Go to chat GBT.

[00:29:11]There we go.

[00:29:37]And that's basically how you can get it to go over to Chrome, right? For you, right, I actually hit my usage limit, so I can't show you directly. Um, but that is how you use it. And I think that's cuz it's just launched on the first day.

[00:29:51]And so that has not happened to me today at all. But you can see an example of how it works right here. Right. So, I literally I cannot use it, right? I've hit my limit for the day, which is pretty crazy, but I think that's just because it's rolled out today. I've seen the same thing, for example, with uh GPT 5.5. The first day GPT 5.5 came out, hit the usage limit pretty quickly. So, I'm sure that'll be fine by tomorrow. But you can see here, for example, what it would do is you give it a task here, and then it will look at Chrome, it will take a screenshot. As you can see, it will use its uh connection. Then it will start, it can type in, press keys, etc. It can type text as you can see. And then it can take the screenshot here. So that's basically how it works. It's pretty powerful, really easy to use. I'm amaz I mean, I'm amazed by how that's hit the the usage limit already, but I think that's simply because it is the first day it's launched. And then it can work in parallel across tabs in the background. Right? So this is pretty cool. So you can actually work in multiple tabs across the background. Uh you don't just have to use it inside one single tab which is pretty amazing. So you can say okay use a background tab.

[00:31:06]It can move through repetitive browser work. So basically if you if you've got work where you're just clicking buttons that's not useful. So you can see here for example you can tell it to like check your emails um the five relevant documents uh even like for example update something based on local files because codeex is connected locally and then it can go off and do that right and you can also tag in multiple tools. So this is pretty cool because you could say okay use this this tab for creating a game or a tool or an app and it will actually use that as reference data as context right and so it's really for a lot of it is for coding but also for like work as well you know anything honestly like I don't know about you but we've got admins in our team who just click buttons fill spreadsheets in and stuff like that you can use this AI agent directly for stuff like that. So, it's pretty powerful. So, I can't really show you much more because um as you seen, we've we've hit the usage limit, but you get the point. So, thanks so much for watching.
