Why AIOS is the Way - The Simple Explanation

追加: 2026-05-10

[00:00:00]So, in this video, we're going to be talking about AIOS, AI operating systems, and why everybody and their mother is talking about it, and why it's super simple and not that complex, but why I think it actually has some merit, and why you should care as well. So, my name is Hans. I work as an AI consultant. That's my day job. In my spare time, I do this and also automations and AI.

[00:00:27]Done multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue regarding AI for small and medium and large organizations, small small and medium businesses and organizations.

[00:00:40]So, I've tried a lot, and I work with this every day with businesses. And this is actually something I see is working and getting results [clears throat] in the real world, in real businesses.

[00:00:53]So, let's get into it.

[00:00:57]AIOS, what is it? And before we jump any further, just do a search on YouTube.

[00:01:03]You can see like everybody is talking about AIOS AIOS Nate AIOS.

[00:01:12]He He actually doesn't say it here, but in his video, he mentioned that it is AIOS. And then, of course, Liam. Uh I think he coined the term a couple of months back, AIOS.

[00:01:23]Um and there's a reason why everybody's talking about it because it is working.

[00:01:28]>> [snorts] >> Um when you've worked with AI for a long time, it's not that long, but for a couple of years, you start to see what is working when you dive into it.

[00:01:38]So, what is an AIOS? It's just a folder.

[00:01:41]Like, this is what it is.

[00:01:44]It is a folder system. And it is a folder system coupled with cloud code, codex, Gemini CLI, whatever or Gemini. Both All of them is a CLI tool. So, it's a coding agent in a folder, and that's it. That's it for this video. Took like 2 minutes to explain. This is it.

[00:02:07]So, let's uh jump over here and bring up some of the AIOS systems that I have running.

[00:02:16]>> [clears throat] >> And we can go into one of my company folders. I am building these out as like right now. So, my day-to-day when I'm off, when I think I want to do something productive, I start to build out these AIOS systems here.

[00:02:33]So, you can think of one AIOS system as a company or a department. If you have a large organization, you would have one per department. If you have a small business, then it's just one folder per business.

[00:02:48]Let's jump into this one. In here, I then have the one department within my company within Hello Creation, that company. Within that, I've built out the bookkeeping or accounting department.

[00:03:01]So, in my accounting department, I have all the frameworks, all the files, all the all the stuff I need for Claude code to do my taxes. So, right now, it this is connected in here. We have I won't open up the uh environment or the secrets here, but it has access to my Gmail, to my Google Drive, to Stripe, to my bank account. So, it can pull all the information and pull everything uh all receipts, invoices, all sales, all VAT. I'm in Europe, so you have to report on um sales without VAT. All that, like all that headache, Claude is doing for me on autopilot. I can just open up a terminal or open up um Codex in my bookkeeping folder and say, "Do my taxes." And then click enter, and that's it. And the reason why I'm talking about or I wanted to make this video because everybody is talking about AIOS systems.

[00:04:08]You can like it's not that complicated.

[00:04:11]But, what I've done is I've put it on the internet. And the reason why it's not that widely spread yet, I think, is because um this is all good. Like this saves a lot of time. You can repeat the processes, but you need to sit at your computer. You need to be here or you need to have, for example, Claude running or Codex on a computer and then have it on scheduled tasks. So, you can go into code and you can go into routines. And you can start to set up a new routine local. You can even run it in cloud, but that's different story here. Um daily, hourly, and you get 25 of these runs per day.

[00:04:57]And when you start to set up a lot of companies, when you set up a lot of scheduled tasks that need to run, the cloud limits are there in cloud code and doesn't really like it's [clears throat] just not production ready for me, at least. So, what I did, I thought all these are just folders. So, instead of having them as simple folders, why don't we make them repositories? So, I sync everything up. Everything is in my GitHub. So, all my departments here, AIOS systems, they are synced to GitHub.

[00:05:32]Okay. So, right now we have the bookkeeping here. Um this sync to GitHub, that's nice. I have a backup. Great. But, I have something else running. I have my AIOS VPS system running. And then you might ask like, why would you want to like isn't this just double thing? The [clears throat] reason I have this is because now I control all my scheduled runs from my VPS. And whenever the VPS does a code update, something that updates on the files in the repository, it automatically syncs to the repo here. And that means that I can do work on my local computer. I can then package everything up. I can test it. I can say like, okay, this is now working. I can then push to GitHub. That will get synced into my um computer here. And then synced into my VPS. And in here, we have the bookkeeping folder. So, that is a department within my AIOS, so my Hello Creation AIOS company here. I have a department called bookkeeping. In here, you can see that I actually have tasks and I can also set up goals. So, I can set up scheduled tasks. Um And this is done very simply. I won't go into too much detail. I'll do that in another video. But inside here, we can go down to something called cron, which is scheduled tasks.

[00:07:07]Um so, that is the root. I need to go into the bookkeeping, that one. So, here and then under cron, you can see we have three empty files. They And that correlates to this up here. And that means that I can be on my local computer, I can actually create scheduled tasks that I want to run. We can even open this up. This is just what it says. Like, this is the when it's going to trigger. Paused equals false.

[00:07:41]Provider, I'm not to run this with Codex. And this is the schedule time.

[00:07:46]And this here is picked up by the AIOS VPS system. And then it's going to run this command here.

[00:07:53]So, that's what it's going to say to the agent. And then it's going to run on my VPS. And this is going to run Codex. So, the exact same thing as me going into my folder, opening up a terminal with Codex. Oh, that's going to update.

[00:08:11]Um yeah, opening up Codex. Let's open it up here.

[00:08:15]And say, "Do my taxes." Instead of me typing it in, we're going to do it from cron or from schedule tasks here. But, let's just go a step further. So, right now I would like to do some more YouTube research, for example. And that's something I have on my to-do list. So, in my company here, Hello Creation, I would create a department called YouTube research.

[00:08:43]Maybe just YouTube. Like so.

[00:08:45]Um YouTube and then Yeah, that's fine.

[00:08:48]Let's just create that. Done. Now we have created the department. Let's go back.

[00:08:53]And if we go to my repository here and click update, you will see that I now have a folder called YouTube in my repository because they are synced. So, let's go to my uh GitHub desktop and go to Hello Creation.

[00:09:10]Let's fetch origin, meaning pull down from GitHub. Pull origin and pull up here. So, now we're in Hello Creation.

[00:09:18]We now have the YouTube folder.

[00:09:21]And the when we create a department from the system, we get these files here. So, we get a standard agent and cloud MD instructing it how to actually create cron and golds locally. We have an outbox because I can manage my system from Telegram as well. We have some predetermined skills, how to do cron, how to do goals, and how to send notifications out the system. And then we have some webhooks if we want to do that. But now I can sit here in Codex and say um I want to do some more research on X, Y, and Z or we need to set up some um some progress or some uh automations, some things that we need to do in order for us to do the YouTube research that we want. And it's the simple thing as just using your terminal, using Codex, using Clock Code, and syncing it up. And then when I'm done designing the system on my computer, when I have tested it, I will go back here and I will commit the changes. That will be synced into my AIOS VPS system. And then I can just have it schedule on autopilot and I will never run out of schedule runs. I can turn off all my computers and everything will still be running.

[00:10:49]It's a simple way for me to take the folder structure which which is the AIOS. So, one folder that does the thing and then syncing it to a VPS and having that do the tasks for me. Like I've done a lot of agent systems. I've done Open Claw. I've done Hermes. I've done Paperclip. Like I have installed everything. I have run everything.

[00:11:15]And in my opinion, this is the framework that in this moment in time is working and doing and giving results to people. It is easy for people to see that, okay, I just need a folder and then describe the process. Put the skills in there, do everything in there, and then that's a closed department. And whenever I need to get that job done again, I just open the folder in my terminal, tell Claude Code or Codex to do the job, and that's it. So, I hope you found this useful, and I hope you don't get like too messed up and think that AIOS is some kind of brilliant operating system. It's not. It's just a folder, and you define that folder, and you say like, "Okay, we keep all the skills, we keep all the frameworks, we keep all the SOPs inside of that folder, okay?"

[00:12:13]So, that's a description here. I will in the next videos go over some of the use cases for the AIOS VPS system, so when you have it in the cloud, why it m- where the benefits are. It's not for everybody, but it is for people who want to do stuff on autopilot and have automations running inside of their folders on a daily basis, on an hourly basis, weekly, monthly, whenever you need to trigger it, it just happens.

[00:12:46]So, going to do that in next video.

[00:12:48]Until then, have a fantastic day, and I'll see you in the next one.
