Hermes Agent Computer Use (New Update): Your Mac AI That Clicks, Types & Works in the Background
The video covers a new “Computer Use” update for Hermes Agent that lets an AI operate a Mac desktop in the background—clicking, typing, scrolling, food recall salmonella milk 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.
