Summary

Jack demonstrates how to combine the Hermes agent with DeepSeek V4 and OpenRouter to create an automated 'Triad' system. By using a conductor, worker, and critic model structure, you can achieve 95% of top-tier AI performance at 1% of the cost, effectively offloading complex decision-making to overnight background processes.

Key Topics

• The Triad System: The system ensures high-quality output by separating the roles: a Conductor sets the strategy, a Worker executes the labor, and a Critic checks the quality. This structure minimizes confirmation bias and ensures that the final result is thoroughly validated.
• DeepSeek 'Worker': By leveraging DeepSeek for repetitive, reasoning-heavy tasks, users achieve massive cost savings while maintaining high performance. It allows for overnight, unattended processing of complex business or technical briefs.
• Hermes Soul/Memory: This persistence allows the Hermes agent to maintain long-term context about the user's business, revenue goals, and personal rhythm, ensuring that each interaction is highly tailored rather than generic.

Key Takeaways

• Set up OpenRouter and configure your API keys for multiple models.
• Define your 'Soul' identity in Hermes.
