My First AI Agent

100% free

Thirteen free lessons to set up a real AI agent — the kind that actually does things for you, not just answers questions. Start from zero, finish with an agent that reads your files, runs your errands, and answers to you on your phone. No code, no ML background.

Product: Hermes Desktop. Aligned with official Hermes docs. Every step has a screenshot; advanced settings stay out of the way until you want them.

What you get
  • The words you need, so nothing on screen is a mystery
  • A guided install with a verified first chat
  • Ready-made agent personalities — pick one, paste it, done
  • Your agent on your phone, answering only to you
  • Memory, notes, skills, safety settings, and scheduled jobs
