Hermes Voice Agent Just Got 10X Better!
268 segments
Hermes voice agent just got 10 times
better. What if the slowest part of
using AI was your own hands? You know
exactly what you want, but you still
have to type it, click it, wait. What if
you could just say it out loud and watch
it happen? No typing, no clicking, fully
hands-free. I'm the digital avatar of
Julian Goldie, and I help people learn
AI tools and actually use them in their
real work. Today I want to show you
something living inside my agent OS that
completely changed how I get things
done. It's a voice agent called Hermes
Apollo. And no, this isn't one of those
assistants that you the weather and sets
a timer. Stick with me because in a
minute I'll show you Apollo build a real
working app out loud with no keyboard at
all. And I'll show you the part most
people miss, the thing that makes this
way more than a toy. So here's the idea.
Apollo is a voice agent I built right
into my agent OS. If you followed me
before, you know agent OS is my one
dashboard where all my AI tools live in
the same place, my Hermes brain, my
models, my memory, everything under one
roof. Apollo is the voice layer sitting
on top of all of it. Think of it like a
butler that lives inside my agent OS. I
talk, it listens, and it actually does
things on my computer. And I mean it
actually does things. Most voice
assistants just talk back. Apollo opens
apps, it opens websites, it builds tools
and games and pages while I watch,
hands-free, in real time. Let me show
you how it feels. I open the Apollo
panel inside my agent OS and I just
talk. I can say, "Apollo, could you
build me a snake game?"
>> Building that now, sir. The snake game
is ready for you, sir. Enjoy.
>> And then I wait a second. That's it, it
goes off and builds it. A few moments
later, the snake game is sitting there
ready to play. Then I say, "Apollo,
build me a countdown timer for 24
hours."
>> Building that now, sir.
>> And again, it just does it. And down in
the gallery, I can see everything it's
made for me recently. Every little tool
and page all saved in one place. Nothing
gets lost. Now here's what makes Apollo
feel different from anything I've tried.
There's no awkward pause. With most
voice AI, you talk, you wait, you sit
through this weird silence. Apollo
replies the moment I stop talking, like
a live phone call. It's running on a
real-time voice model, so the second I
finish my sentence, it's already
answering in this calm butler voice, and
I can cut it off mid-sentence anytime I
want. It just rolls with it. And it's
all hands-free. I can set a wake word,
so I say Apollo from across the room,
and it wakes up and listens. Or I flip
on real-time, and it just listens while
the panel is open. The moment I switch
tabs or switch it off, it stops
listening. So, it's only on when I want
it on. Now, if you're watching this
thinking, "I want Apollo running inside
my own Agent OS." That's exactly what we
set up together inside the AI Profit
Boardroom. Inside the AI Profit
Boardroom, I've dropped the full Agent
OS zip file ready to install with Apollo
and every tool already wired in, so it's
ready to talk to right out of the box.
There's a step-by-step walk-through for
getting the voice agent set up, weekly
coaching calls where you can share your
screen and ask me anything about your
own setup, and a full 30-day roadmap
that takes you from day one all the way
to running this stack every single day.
So, if the voice part is what's pulling
you in, the AI Profit Boardroom was
built for exactly this. Okay, let me
break down the three pieces the way I
think about it, because this is where it
clicks. Piece one is your voice. That's
the input. I just talk out loud, the way
I talk to someone sitting next to me.
Piece two is the real-time brain in the
middle. That's the part that answers
instantly with no lag. And piece three
is the hands. That's the part that
actually does stuff on my computer. That
third piece is the whole reason this
isn't a toy. It doesn't just talk about
doing something, it goes and does it.
And I can pick how it works. There's a
quick auto mode for fast back-and-forth
answers, and there's an agent mode that
goes further. Agent mode can write
files, control my browser, and use
different tools locally for me. I switch
between them in one click. I can even
swap the voice if I want a different
one. Here's the part I love most,
though. Everything Apollo and I talk
about gets saved. It's plugged straight
into my memory galaxy inside Obsidian.
That's my plain text memory vault inside
Agent OS. So, every conversation gets
logged, and Apollo can actually recall
the things I've told it before. It's not
starting from zero every time. It
remembers. It'll also read me a morning
brief. I pull up the briefing section,
and it reads out my focus for the day,
my open action items, what I worked on
before. I can flip between weekly and
monthly briefings, too. And because Cuz
all sitting inside Agent OS, right next
to my other tools like Hermes Oracle
pulling in trending news and Hermes
Astros watching my competitors and
spinning up content angles. Apollo isn't
off on its own. It's part of the whole
system. Let me show you how I actually
put this to work. I used Apollo to build
out a whole batch of simple tools and
pages designed to pull the right people
into the AI Profit Boardroom. I just
talked and it built landing pages and
little interactive demos I could point
new people toward. The kind of thing
that gets someone curious enough to come
check out the AI Profit Boardroom. No
editor, no keyboard, just me describing
what I wanted out loud while it built
the whole thing. And the speed on this
is the thing you have to feel to
believe. When I ask it to build
something, it's not this long wait. It
puts a working page together in about 90
seconds, completely hands-free. So I
could be sitting there drinking my
coffee, still in flow, and it's building
in the background. And every single
thing it makes gets saved in the
gallery. I scroll down and I can see
every page and tool I've ever created
with it. I never lose anything because
it's all in one place, ready to reopen
in full. And there's a small touch that
makes a real difference. Apollo glows a
different color depending on what it's
doing. When it's answering me, it's one
color. When it's reading out a briefing,
it's another. So at a glance, I always
know whether it's talking to me or off
working on something. I can also throw
it into full-screen wall mode and run it
big across my whole screen whenever I
want it front and center. And the
latency shows right there on the panel,
so I can see exactly how fast it's
replying. Compare that to the old way of
working. Every little task means type,
click, wait, repeat, and that's
thousands of tiny clicks quietly eating
up your whole day. With Apollo, I just
say the thing out loud and it's handled.
That's the real shift here. Here's
another way I've used Apollo to map out
the welcome flow new AI Profit Boardroom
members hit on day one. I said it out
loud, the welcome message, the first
steps, the resources to point them to,
and it drafted the whole thing and saved
it in the gallery for me. So new AI
Profit Boardroom members land inside and
instantly know what to do next. And I
built that whole flow without touching
my keyboard once. Now you might be
thinking, "Isn't a voice assistant just
a gimmick?" I get it. But this one is is
because it's not just chatting. It can
look at my memories, build me something
real, and read me a proper weekly brief
all in the same breath. It's ready the
second I want it, and it's faster than
something like Siri by a mile. This is a
tool I use for real work every day. And
some people worry, "Well, talking to an
AI about my work, is that private?"
Here's the good part. I can run this on
local models if I want to. The memories,
the whole conversation history, all of
it can sit locally on my machine plugged
into my own Obsidian vault. Nothing has
to leave your computer if you're don't
want it to. And if you're wondering
about tokens, you can even run the Agent
OS on free models and free tools, so
you're not leaning on anything heavy to
keep it going. Here's one more angle I'd
run with it. I'd use Apollo to spin up a
quick set of pages and tools around a
topic AI Profit Boardroom members keep
asking about all from voice, all saved
in one place. That's the kind of thing
that keeps pulling the right people
toward the AI Profit Boardroom, and I'd
never have to open a blank editor to do
it. Let me give you a few quick tips if
you want to try this yourself. First,
start small. Give it simple commands
first, like opening an app or building
one little tool, so you get a feel for
how fast it responds before you hand it
bigger jobs. Second, use the wake word
and the on-off toggle. It only listens
when you want it to, and it switches off
the moment you leave the tab, so you
stay in control. Third, lean on the
memory. Let the Obsidian vault do the
heavy lifting because the more you tell
Apollo, the more it can recall for you
later. And fourth, remember it runs on
Windows and Mac, and you can point it at
free or local models if you'd rather
keep everything on your own machine. The
whole point of this is simple. You stop
typing and clicking for the small stuff.
You just say it, and the machine does
the rest. It's a butler working for you
in real time sitting right inside your
Agent OS. If you want the full process,

This video introduces 'Apollo,' a powerful, hands-free voice agent integrated into an Agent OS that allows users to build tools, control applications, and manage workflows by speaking rather than typing. Unlike basic assistants, Apollo is designed for real work, featuring real-time response, integration with a personal Obsidian-based memory vault, and the ability to operate locally for data privacy. The presenter highlights how the agent improves productivity by eliminating repetitive clicks and offers access to this system through the 'AI Profit Boardroom,' which provides pre-built files and coaching to help users implement the technology.
