Using the Hermes Agent and Venice API to build my AI clone

Models used here: Chat: Kimi k2.6 and Opus 4.7 Video: Wan 2.7 image-to-video Audio: chatterbox HD for clone and TTS Vision: Grok 4.20 Venice skills:

great, now i'm going to have to check i'm not talking to your clone during our sync meetings

lol next video: fully cloned myself at work for weeks and no one noticed

@joshmo_dev I knew it!

@joshmo_dev great minds

This is what I call Cutting through the noise. I watch this video just for one minute, and I go on for the look out for this agent. One word - Quality. The whole point is, The AI has to know you better than the average you. Thanks @sabrinaesaquino

@Teknium This is awesome. Just curious. The 19 Skills are all that is needed? Or is there anything extra? Like Shatterbox that you mentioned? And how could you import the Twitter Posts? Do you need a Twitter API for that?

@Teknium Yes! Actually, this one you can do it with ~5 skills. All you need is the Venice API, it gives you access to all endpoints - video, voice, text, image, etc - including the Twitter search by using the Grok models via the chat endpoint!

This is cool but a world where everyone's watching what they think is a real person but really it's a clone seems like a direction we don't want to head, just me?

That's amazing! 🤩

it's a powerful combo

No way!

@ErikVoorhees Did you try alpi-agent? It looks really insteresting

@ErikVoorhees not yet, will take a look

doing good work here

@TranslateMom portuguese

gotta watch till the end :). Now I have no idea which is which :)

everyone needs this for meetings

Hey can this be done with Claude?👀

Hermes? written in python?!?!... ewww.

@Teknium You did your thing here. I’m a believer now that avatars are legit. The voice was nearly perfect.

Omg, scary

crazy that I just needed a couple of files to do it

Where is promo :((( I want to try

Thank you for sharing! Your agent is coming for you :D

I'm cooked

Bookmarking this to come back to. 👍👍

interested !

Same shoes, I’ve been thinking of LLM systems as a knowledge loop: a Hermes-style agent handles short-term decisions, while the LLM Wiki Compiler turns that into structured, long-term knowledge that compounds over time.

also thanks for the credits

The Hermes Agent and Venice API combo is an interesting choice. Curious how close the clone actually feels after fine tuning on your own data

This is class

@LilysAI_ Summarize

@ErikVoorhees

pretty impressive

Hand written script right?

bro is there nsfw guardrails/filter? or I can have my clone say/do/wear anything ?

powerful

@grok how this video make?

nah this is wild you really about to send your clone to every meeting and go touch grass while it grinds, meetings are actually cooked now bro

What’s an HerMES agent

the tutorial wasn't made by AI... right?

No artificial intelligence will be as real as you!
