Hermes Agent Computer Use (New Update): Your Mac AI That Clicks, Types & Works in the BackgroundThe video covers a new “Computer Use” update for Hermes Agent that lets an AI operate a Mac desktop in the background—clicking, typing, scrolling, and dragging without moving your cursor or interrupting your work—using an MCP server. The host walks through updating Hermes, installing Computer Use via a CLI command, granting macOS Accessibility permissions, and notes it’s experimental with safety guardrails and approval prompts for risky actions. They demonstrate Hermes opening Apple Notes and creating a new, personalized journal note with ten time-saving ideas, then attempt a more complex Obsidian organization task that proves slower and less reliable. They also show Hermes opening Terminal to run Hermes and type “hello,” discuss model options (needs vision), token/screenshot costs, and how to switch/setup models, and direct viewers to the AI Profit Boardroom for a guide with prompts and a roadmap.00:00 Hermes Gets Superpowers01:02 What Computer Use Does01:40 Install and Update Hermes03:34 Permissions and Safety Notes04:50 How to Use It06:17 Quick Test Open Notes06:53 Auto Journal Note Demo08:37 Obsidian Second Brain Attempt10:18 Prompting Framework11:51 Models Costs and Limits13:37 Hermes Talks to Itself15:50 Results Recap and Limits16:56 Common Objections Answered17:50 Guide and Community Plug18:56 Switch Models in Hermes
