The shift from asking an AI a question and getting an answer, to giving an AI a goal and having it work autonomously until the goal is met. Everyone needs to code. Period.
Agentic AI is the shift from asking an AI a question and getting an answer, to giving an AI a goal and having it work autonomously until the goal is met. The AI doesn't just respond it plans, uses tools, writes files, runs commands, spawns sub-agents, and iterates until the job is done.
This is not a better chatbot. This is a digital worker that ships code, writes research, manages infrastructure, and coordinates with other agents while you sleep.
The AI reaches into your world terminal, browser, filesystem, APIs, databases. It doesn't describe what you should do. It does it.
The AI thinks, acts, observes the result, and decides the next step. This repeats until the goal is met or a limit is hit. One prompt can trigger 5, 10, 50 tool calls with no human in the loop.
The AI remembers across sessions who you are, what you're building, your preferences, your conventions. Every interaction builds on the last.
All modern agentic systems follow the same core loop: LLM thinks → calls tools → observes results → decides next step. But they differ in scope, platform, and philosophy.
The most ambitious of the three. Not just a coding agent a full agent operating system.
Swap models mid-session. DeepSeek, Claude, GPT, Grok, Gemini, local models all work. No lock-in.
When Hermes solves a hard problem, it saves the approach as a reusable skill. Over weeks, it accumulates hundreds of skills specific to your work.
The same agent runs on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS, email with full tool access. Text it from your phone and it builds software on your machine.
Remembers who you are, what you prefer, your environment. Survives restarts and model changes.
Multiple independent Hermes instances with isolated configs, sessions, skills, and memory. One agent for work, one for personal, one for a project.
Scheduled autonomous jobs. Morning briefing, daily research ingest, weekly self-learning, memory compaction all without you.
Six specialist profiles (researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend-eng, ops) that dispatch tasks from a shared work queue.
Spawn sub-agents for parallel work. Three agents working three files simultaneously, then reporting back.
The system we run here at EX Venture. The backbone. But not the only tool.
The most polished coding agent on the market. Narrower than Hermes code only but exceptional within that domain.
Print mode (-p) for one-shot tasks with structured JSON output. Interactive mode for multi-turn REPL sessions with TUI.
Reads entire codebases, understands architecture, refactors across dozens of files in a single session.
Spawn specialist sub-agents (security reviewer, database expert, test writer) and orchestrate them from a parent session.
Automation triggers on tool use auto-format on write, block dangerous commands, log completions.
Connect to external tools databases, APIs, GitHub through the Model Context Protocol.
Run multiple Claude instances on the same repo in isolated git worktrees. No conflicts.
Locked to Anthropic models. Brilliant, but you can't swap to DeepSeek for cheap inference or GPT for a second opinion.
OpenAI's entry. The youngest and most raw of the three, but with one thing the others don't: true sandboxing.
One-shot task execution. Give it a prompt, it builds the thing, exits.
Full-auto sandboxes file changes. Yolo mode skips all approvals. Danger-full-access runs with no sandbox at all.
Refuses to run outside a git repo. Every change is trackable, revertible.
Fewer features than Hermes or Claude Code, but faster to launch and simpler to reason about.
Still maturing. Fewer hooks, no profiles, no memory comparable to Hermes. But for quick "build this" tasks, it's fast and clean.
Different models have different strengths. A code-first multi-model approach means the orchestrator picks the right model per task, runs parallel agents on different models simultaneously, and falls back automatically when a provider is overloaded.
Complex reasoning, architecture decisions, code review nuance.
Fastest, cheapest, good enough for 80% of tasks. Our default.
Long-horizon planning, creative problem framing.
Fastest at search-grounded tasks, X data access.
Massive context windows, multimodal reasoning.
Hermes picks the right model per task. Flash for routine work, Pro for complex reasoning, Claude for architecture, Grok for research.
Three agents on three tasks, each using the model best suited to their work simultaneously.
If one provider is overloaded, the system falls back to another automatically. No single point of failure.
Flash costs a fraction of Sonnet. Use Flash for 80% of turns, Pro/Claude for the 20% that need depth.
The architecture: Hermes is the platform layer the operating system. Claude Code and Codex are specialist tools that Hermes orchestrates. One platform, many models, tool-agnostic execution. This is what we run.
Strip away the marketing and every agentic system has the same skeleton eight load-bearing pieces.
The agent's identity, rules, constraints. SOUL.md in Hermes, CLAUDE.md in Claude Code. Tells the agent who it is and how to behave.
The interface between the agent's thinking and the real world. Terminal commands, file reads/writes, browser navigation, API calls, sub-agent spawning.
The core cycle: input → think → decide on tool calls → execute → observe → think again. Loops until the goal is met or max_turns is hit (default 90 in Hermes).
Persistent facts that survive sessions. Preferences, environment details, corrections. ~2,200 character storage, FTS5 indexed, survives restarts.
Procedural knowledge reusable approaches for recurring tasks. 100+ skills covering research, coding, patent drafting, novel writing, hardware sourcing, grant applications. They accumulate.
Scheduled autonomous execution. No human trigger. Research ingestion at midnight. Memory compaction on Sunday. Morning briefing at 7 AM.
Complete agent isolation. Different config, skills, memory, model. Work agent and personal agent on the same machine, zero cross-contamination.
Sub-agents with isolated contexts. Child inherits parent's model, tools constraint, and goal then works independently and reports back.
We are at the beginning. Here's what's coming within the next 18 months.
Hermes already functions as a proto-OS agent loop, process management, filesystem, scheduler, multi-user gateway. The line between "AI tool" and "operating system" blurs within 18 months.
Six Kanban profiles today. Fifty tomorrow. Agents that specialize, negotiate, and coordinate without human routing triggered by one sentence from you.
Skills that self-update based on failures. Memory that consolidates and prunes automatically. Agents that wake up smarter than they were when you went to bed.
Agents that control physical systems 3D printers, CNC machines, sensor arrays, robotics platforms. The agent loop extends into the physical world.
Agents with budget constraints that make cost/benefit decisions. "Build this feature, but don't spend more than $5 in API costs."
Sub-agents report success, but did they actually succeed? Cryptographic verification chains every file write traced, every claim cross-checked, every deliverable validated before you see it.
Module 1 is about understanding the paradigm. Not the buttons the mental model.
The skill is not "prompt engineering." The skill is delegation, orchestration, trust calibration, and system design.
A single human with a well-tuned agent fleet can outproduce a ten-person team. This is already true today. The gap will only widen.
Teaches you how to build that fleet architectures, memory systems, skill libraries, multi-agent orchestration, and the economic framing to run agents at scale.
