Hermes Agent Can Make Videos Now (This Changes Everything)
316 segments
Your AI agent can't create anything. It
can write you a script, it can plan you
a campaign, it can describe the perfect
shot in beautiful detail, but if you're
actually asking it to generate a video
or a stunning picture, [music] it just
hands you a homework assignment. Well,
that just changed because Hicksfield
just shipped a connector that gives your
agent actual hands. And the part almost
nobody's covering is that it does not
only work inside of Claude. It works
with Hermes and any other agent you use.
So, in this video, I'm going to show you
exactly what shipped, how to connect it
to Hermes or any other agent, how to run
your first generation, and then I'm
going to point my agent at a product and
have it take my business to the next
level. Let's get started. Here is what
landed recently. Hicksfield released an
official MCP server, one single endpoint
that your agent connects to it once, and
from that point onwards, it can generate
videos, images, cut clips, reframe them,
and write the file straight into your
working directory. This video is
sponsored by Hicksfield, by the way,
which is great because that gives us a
good amount of credits to play around
with. I'm excited for this integration
because I absolutely hate having
hundreds of tabs open for every
individual thing that I run. And this
update allows us to connect it straight
to Hermes or whichever agent you use on
a daily basis. The link is in the
description if you want to try it out
for yourself. Connecting it takes about
30 seconds, and I will show you that in
just a minute. And here we can see the
same endpoint works in Claude, Grok Bot,
ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code,
OpenClaude, and even Hermes. But, before
I connect it to anything, let me tell
you about what this connector actually
does. The MCP exposes the full Hixfeld
model stack to your agent. This means it
has access to Seedens 2.5, GPT image 2
for images, and there is more in here
than just video generation. You can use
this for marketing, for faceless videos,
for website building, for image
generation. There is a clipper that
takes a long video and cuts it into
vertical shots. There is a reframe tool
that changes aspect ratio without
cropping. There's a virality predictor
that scores a clip before you post it.
I'm not going to cover all of those
today. I am going to cover the one that
excites me personally the most and that
I feel could help my business out. And
the fastest way to show you is to
connect it. So, let's do that. If you're
on Claude, all you have to do is go
click this little plus icon, click on
connectors, add a connector, add custom
connector, and then over here we're
going to call it Hixfeld, and then we're
going to copy this link,
mcp.hixfeld.ai/mcp,
and we're going to paste it over here
and click continue. Boom, just like
that. From here we're going to pick out
the recommended
options and click add. It's going to
open up this window, which is just us
allowing access. We're going to click
allow and open Claude. That's it. As
simple as that. That's the entire setup.
And boom, you can see, connected to
Hixfeld. And we know that it's live
because if we go to connectors, we can
see Hixfeld over here. It's turned on.
Hermes is MCP native, so it's the same
endpoint added to my MCP server's
config. All you have to do is click on
Hermes, copy this, paste it into your
Hermes chat, and it will give you a link
to authenticate and that is it. You're
authenticated and boom, over here,
Cleo's installed, authenticated,
workspace selected, and we have it
running. Now, let's get to the fun part.
Let's test it out. I'm not going to
start with a campaign. I am going to
start with one prompt so you can see the
mechanics with nothing else in the way.
So, here the first prompt I've given it
is using Higgs field, make me one
product shot video of a matte black
water bottle on a concrete surface, hard
side light, and attach it in this chat
so I can watch it. And by the way,
notice what it did there. I did not tell
it which model to use. It picked based
on my request and I don't know whether
it picked Seasons 2 or Seasons 2.5. I'm
assuming it picked Seasons 2.5 just like
that. So, it has the ability to
understand your job and through that
pick the specific model that will work
best for your use case. Now, let's watch
the video.
>> [music]
>> There we go. Took literally less than a
minute and we have a video of exactly
what we asked for. Now, this cost me 45
credits, which roughly comes down to 2
and 1/2 dollars. Uh I will come back to
that number at the end because this is
the number that will decide how worth it
is this. But, that is the mechanic. One
prompt, you get one file, but a single
product shot is a demo. It's not a
business. So, let me show you what I
would actually use this for. Now, there
are three major ways that you can use
this. Let's start with number one. UGC
ads. I mean, UGC ads is a massive use
case for this type of workflow and you
can see a lot of the content being
created and a lot of the use cases are
UGC factories. So, with that, what I've
done is I've told it take that water
bottle you just made and turn it into a
15-second UGC ad, someone holding it,
talking to the camera, natural lighting,
like a real customer review. Let's see
what it gives us. Our ad is ready, so
let's go ahead and watch it together.
>> using this matte black bottle every day.
It keeps water cold for hours, doesn't
leak in my bag, and the finish feels
premium. If you need one bottle, get
this. Seriously.
>> I like that it kept the same exact
bottle shape. It kept the bottle true to
dimension. I would change the actor's
voice. He does sound AI generated, but
then again, most of the UGC videos that
are printing right now sound exactly the
same. So, if I were to use this for,
say, I had a I don't know, a bottle
company, then I would try to switch up
the voice just a little bit so that I
could differentiate myself from the rest
of the competition. But, that is a
finished ad in 4 minutes. This product
literally did not exist 4 minutes ago.
This generation, since it's 15 seconds,
cost us 75 credits, which roughly comes
down to about $4. This second use case
is a little bit more selfish, but I need
a new intro animation, and I do not want
to wait 2 days for an animator to make
one for me for every single video. So,
what I did is I asked it, "I want you to
make me a 10-second cartoon animation
for my YouTube video intro that I want
to include as a B-roll." The video's
titled Hermes Agent Can Make Videos Now,
and it's a Pictory's new MCP
functionality inside of Hermes. And then
I described what I wanted in my video,
and I asked it, "But first, help me
conceptualize the prompt before we run
it." So, I want to have a hand in what
it ends up creating. So, it asked me a
bunch of questions. I told it, "Yes,
I'll send you a picture. Here's what I
want. Here's what I have in mind." And
it came back with a concept, which I
approved, and it gave me a first still,
which I was not a fan of the anime
style, even though I picked it. So, I I
changed my mind. I told it, "Never mind.
I want a 3D Pixar or Disney-style
cartoon version." which it gave me this,
which I liked a lot more. So, I told it,
"Yes, this one is much better." I told
it, "Great. Let's Let's get started."
And it just generated the four different
stills. Still number one, still number
two, still number three, just like that.
And I'm going to tell it, "I love it.
Let's do the shots." Now, all we have to
do is wait and come back to it in a few
minutes to see what we got. And it just
finished. So, let's give that a watch
over here. So, shot number one, shot
number two, shot number three, shot
number four. That was not bad at all. A
couple of things I would change in my
next generation would be to hand it
specific logos. For example, Hicksfield,
it generated the logo from scratch,
which is something all AI agents tend to
do. So, giving it the actual logos, the
Hermes agent logo,
giving it better direction. I really
like this shot right here. This one, for
example, again, same thing, change the
Hicksfield logo. So, I handed more brand
assets. Maybe I would create a a brand
asset folder where I would input all of
my brand assets, other brand assets, the
brands I'm talking about, so on and so
forth. But, from this show, I really
like shot number one, shot number three.
Those are very good shots. The other
two, I would ask it to regenerate, but
all in all, this cost me 136 credits,
which comes down to roughly $7.5. Now,
that might sound like a lot, $7.5,
but think of the alternative, hiring an
animator, waiting 1 plus week for an
animation. I can understand why a lot of
people are switching to optimizing their
workflow with AI from video editing to
video creation to animation itself. With
that being said, let's head on to use
case number three, which I'm which I'm
also very excited about. Something I'm
excited to try this out with is for web
design. Let me show you this. You can
build out interactive websites through
the Hixfeld MCP. And there's an entire
category. I mean, look at these. These
look wonderful. And that's exactly what
I want to try it with for my own
website. So, what I've done is I've
asked Claude to build a responsive site
in white and black, blah, blah, blah,
with a red color accent and a strong
CTA. But, first I want you to help me
scope what you need from me, so ask me
questions and run me through the prompt
before you execute. And there you go. It
just built this in 5 minutes and we have
this new hero website. Just like that.
This animation right here that plays as
you scroll. I really like this. I think
I'm definitely going to be using this
more often in my other websites.
That being said, this cost us 41
credits. It was the cheapest out of the
the four tests we've done, which narrows
down to about $2.
Claude is a chat window. It runs when
I'm sitting in front of it, but Hermes
Hermes is not. Hermes runs on a machine
on a schedule whether I'm awake or not.
So, instead of typing these animation
prompts every single time I have to
film, I can turn these into a skill and
that skill can hold your preferences,
your brand colors, the style you want,
the folder your editor pulls from, or
whichever workflow you use video
animation for, or web design, or image
generation for. A prompt is a one-time
instruction, whereas a skill is a
repeatable process. Then, you can point
a cron with this skill that you've built
out in Hermes. And every time, say I
film a new YouTube video, Hermes can
read the title and the film footage's
transcript, and it can generate three
intro options for me for that specific
video, and drop them for me in the same
folder. And just like that, that's how
you can use Hermes' power, its ability
to have skills, its ability to schedule
cron jobs with this new update. Your
agent did not get an you too. Your agent
got the ability to finish. Before this,
every creative workflow ended the same
way. The agent did the thinking, and
then
handed the doing back to you. You still
have to open other apps. You still
exported the file. You still did the
last mile yourself. And that last mile
is now gone. The only thing that stood
between you and 50 different creatives
was production time, but that constraint
is now gone, as well. My verdict is that
this is the first version of agentic
creative that I would actually put into
a real business. If you want to try this
out yourself, the connector is one URL,
and it takes about 30 seconds to set up.

This video explores the integration of the Hicksfield MCP connector, which provides AI agents like Claude and Hermes with the ability to perform direct creative tasks such as video generation, editing, and web design. By bypassing the need for manual file manipulation, the creator demonstrates how this connector allows agents to produce tangible business assets, from UGC ads to website mockups, and explains how to automate these processes using skills and scheduling.
