HOW TO BUILD A SELF-IMPROVEMENT AI OPERATING SYSTEM (HERMES + OBSIDIAN) How to make AI: • Always stay in context • Work more effectively • Not waste a lot of tokens • Know what and where to look for ....... It’s simple create a knowledge base for it based on these points: • Karpathy system • Hermes • NotebookLM • Obsidian Save this so you don’t lose it and start building

HERMES AGENT + OBSIDIAN IS A COMBINATION NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. Hermes ships with a bundled Obsidian skill. read, search, and create notes in your vault out of the box. why this combination is powerful: Hermes built-in memory is capped. MEMORY.md: 2,200 chars (~800 tokens). USER.md: 1,375 chars (~500 tokens). Obsidian vault has no cap. your agent writes research, session summaries, project context, and learned patterns as linked markdown notes. unlimited depth. the agent creates indexed notes by design. timestamps, backlinks, tags. every note connects to the knowledge graph. three ways to integrate: 1. BUNDLED OBSIDIAN SKILL (simplest) ships with Hermes. reads, searches, creates notes in your vault directly. hermes skills list | grep obsidian 2. OBSIDIAN MCP SERVER (deepest) 30+ tools: full-text search, tag lookup, note management, vault analysis, link analysis, orphan detection. add it via: hermes mcp 3. TELEGRAM + CRON → VAULT (always-on) set a cron job that writes daily summaries, research findings, or task reports directly into your Obsidian vault. your agent feeds the vault while you sleep. you review in Obsidian when you're ready. the unlock: Hermes memory handles what the agent needs to know per session (capped, injected). Obsidian handles everything the agent has ever learned (uncapped, searchable). short-term in Hermes. long-term in Obsidian. both accessible. both persistent. keep the vault scope narrow at first. start with one /Hermes folder. expand once you trust the workflow. 8 Loops Indise Hermes Agent👇

The most valuable AI system you're not running yet: an AI second brain. The concept goes back to Karpathy's knowledge wiki earlier this year, and it's still one of the highest-leverage workflows in AI. Connect your Hermes agent, and it becomes 10x more powerful. Here's how to build it (from scratch): Step 1. Download Obsidian Head to obsidian.md and download the desktop app. Once downloaded, go ahead and create a new Obsidian vault. Vaults are just where notes/text are stored locally. Start dumping everything in here: - Personal goals - Meetings - AI context/preferences The more you put in, the more powerful your second-brain becomes. Step 2. Connect Hermes to your Obsidian vault If you don't have Hermes yet, download the desktop app here: [ Then, paste this prompt: "I want you to connect to my new Obsidian vault and act as my second-brain personal assistant - do everything necessary to set up that connection now." This gives Hermes direct access to everything inside your notes vault. Step 3. Let it self-evolve Every time you add a new note, Hermes will automatically ingest it. Prompt Hermes: "Every day, scan my second brain database. Every time I add a new note, use it to create reusable skills and workflows." Pro tip: Once Obsidian is connected to your agent, you can just prompt it directly to add notes/context/data. This works really well if you're prompting Hermes on the go from Telegram/mobile. Save this and build your second brain system now.

Autonomous AI agents can’t afford a memory problem. After OpenClaw, insane numbers of autonomous agents are coming online, but all of them have a memory layer that's breaking. I have been playing around with SureThing these days. It is an autonomous AI agent designed with a native memory layer. → it learns your patterns → integrates with 1000+ apps → fully autonomous They actually benchmarked memory depth. SureThing: 84.8, ChatGPT: 40, OpenClaw: 60. The gap speaks for itself. SureThing is invitation-only. The crazy part is that you have to talk to SureThing agent itself to get the invite code. The onboarding is the product demo. You feel the memory and judgment before you even have an account. Try it here: Partnered with SureThing for this post. Thanks to the team for the support.

Most AI tools today are just command-takers. You type, it responds. You click, it executes. There's truly no learning, no memory, no adaptation. You're still doing most of the work. Which is why Miles by Avo on Solana would make so much sense if built well. From what I understand so far, miles learns about you over time, adapts to how you operate, and figures out the tools you struggle to navigate on your own. Less clicking, more conversation, the more you use it, the better it gets at working with you, not just for you. That shift from command-follower to learning companion is bigger than it sounds. It's the difference between a tool and an agent that actually knows you. The second one is Agent Grid and this one is for builders and power users. But as I mentioned in this video, I'm still studying the Agent Grid. I'd come talk about it once I learn properly about it. Souren just keeps shipping!

THIS GUY BUILT AN AUTONOMOUS AI AGENT OUT OF CLAUDE CODE + OBSIDIAN and this is way more interesting than another “use AI to take notes” demo the trick is simple: Obsidian is not the writing app here. it becomes the agent’s memory, task board, and context folder. Claude Code is not just answering prompts. it reads the vault, edits files, follows instructions, and keeps moving through the work like a junior operator with a filesystem. the reusable setup looks like this: 1. create an Obsidian vault for one project 2. keep goals, rules, tasks, decisions, and references as markdown files 3. point Claude Code at the folder 4. give it a clear operating loop: read context → choose next task → execute → write back what changed 5. use the notes as persistent memory instead of re-explaining the project every chat that’s the part people miss. the “agent” is not magic. it’s the boring combination of: - local files - explicit rules - task state - write access - a model that can run through the repo/vault Obsidian makes the memory human-readable. Claude Code makes the memory executable. that combo is why the video worked: it turns a notes app into an operating surface for actual work. best use cases: - content systems - research vaults - coding projects - client ops docs - personal knowledge bases that need actions, not just storage the caveat: if your vault is messy, your agent becomes messy too. folders, naming, “done” criteria, and forbidden actions matter more than the prompt. but once the structure is clean, this is one of the easiest ways to build an agent that remembers what happened yesterday without paying for a full custom app.

how to set up hermes agent step by step. built-in memory, 40+ tools, works on your phone, and what to think of hermes vs openclaw: 1. hermes is a personal AI agent that runs in your terminal. think of it like open claw but with built-in memory, 40+ tools out of the box, and 90% cheaper token costs. you install it with one command. 2. the 3 problems with open claw that hermes solves: no memory (you keep repeating yourself), constant gateway restarts, and zero visibility into what you're spending on tokens. 3. hermes remembers everything. every completed task gets saved to memory. it searches through past logs to find solutions. over time it literally gets smarter at your specific workflows. 4. connect it to open router. you see exact costs per model per task. free models rotate weekly. one founder went from $130 every five days on open claw to $10 on hermes. same output. 5. it comes preloaded with skills. apple notes, imessage, find my, browser, web search, image generation, cron jobs. no hunting for plugins. 6. connect it to obsidian so it reads your entire vault. connect it to gstack for your dev environment. create custom skills for your specific workflows. 7. the biggest money saver: have it write code once for recurring tasks. then it runs without burning tokens every time. stop paying an LLM to do the same scrape or report daily. 8. run it on android via telegram. name your agents. talk to them like coworkers. in this episode imran shows you how to set this up. 9. you can run it bare metal, in docker, or serverless on modal. pick your risk level. i begged imran to come on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 and walk through the full installation live. he made it impossibly clear. if you've heard of Hermes Agent and want the clearest explanation of how to get set up like a pro let me know what you want me to cover on the next ep this is the best personal agent setup video on the internet right now. watch
