Herdr + Hermes: Agent Orchestration... on your Phone?!

The Pinnacle of Programming Convenience with AI

Introduction to AI Programming Workflow

  • The speaker discusses the convenience of programming with AI, allowing for seamless transitions between devices and locations.
  • Communication with an AI bot occurs through Telegram while managing tasks like outstanding tickets on Tube Planner.

Key Components of the Workflow

  • The Hermes Agent is introduced as a key component, serving as an alternative to OpenClaw for running AI on a home computer.
  • Delegation of programming tasks is managed by Claude Code and Codex, facilitated by another tool called Herder.

Understanding Herder and Its Functionality

Overview of Herder

  • Herder acts as an AI-first terminal multiplexer, enabling users to maintain programming sessions in a terminal environment.
  • Users can leave their coding sessions active while away from their workstation, allowing the Hermes agent to continue working.

Benefits of Combining Tools

  • Having two computers enhances the experience; one remains at home running Hermes Agent and Herder while the other is portable for remote work.
  • This setup prevents loss of progress during transitions between locations, solving common issues faced by programmers.

Setting Up Hermes Agent and Herder

Installation Requirements

  • Hermes Agents function across all operating systems; however, Windows support is still in preview mode.
  • Both tools serve as gateways between users and their local files/apps via messaging platforms like Slack or Telegram.

Getting Started with Hermes Agent

  • To install Hermes Agent, users need a paid subscription or API key from an AI provider along with setting up Telegram for communication.

Enhancing Your Programming Experience

Features of Hermes Agent

  • The integration with Notion allows agents to manage engineering tickets effectively within a structured database accessible via CLI.

Advantages Over Traditional Platforms

  • Notion's flexibility supports various use cases beyond just ticket management compared to more opinionated project management tools like GitHub Issues or Jira.

Audio Integration for Enhanced Usability

Implementing Audio Features

  • Users are encouraged to configure audio capabilities for their agents using services like OpenAI Whisper for transcription tasks.

Voice Interaction Benefits

  • Text-to-speech options enhance usability but are optional; having voice note capabilities significantly improves task management efficiency.

Conclusion and Call to Action

Final Thoughts

  • The speaker expresses enthusiasm about sharing this new workflow experience and encourages viewers to engage with the content through likes and subscriptions.
Video description

AI programming workflows are becoming incredibly convenient. In this video, I show how I use Hermes Agent, Herdr, Claude Code, Codex, Telegram, Notion, and voice input to keep coding sessions running from anywhere — whether I’m at my desk, on a laptop, using my phone, or even talking through my smartwatch. Related videos: Herdr Deep Dive: https://youtu.be/XoitaexiCi0 OpenClaw Explained: https://youtu.be/mMSKQvlmFuQ I start by showing the overall workflow: sending a programming task through Telegram, having Hermes Agent receive it, and then using Herdr to interact with long-running Claude Code or Codex sessions on my computer. Then I break down the main pieces: Hermes Agent is the AI assistant layer that runs on your computer and lets you communicate with your local AI agent through messaging apps like Telegram. It can access your local files, tools, GitHub projects, browser, and development environment. Herdr is an AI-first terminal multiplexer, similar to tmux, that keeps coding sessions alive and gives agents visibility into terminal panes. This makes it possible to start work at home, leave the session running, and continue from another computer later. I also cover the hardware setup, including why a second computer makes the workflow even better, how VPN access fits in, and why you can still get most of the benefits with just one computer and a phone. Finally, I show how Notion can act as an AI memory bank for engineering tickets, research tasks, brainstorming, and progress reports, plus how voice input and transcription make the whole system easier to use on the go.
