Give Your Hermes Agent Permanent Memory (Free) with Obsidian: The Shared Brain Setup
The script explains how wiring the free, open-source Hermes agent to a free Obsidian vault creates a “shared brain” that gives Hermes permanent, reusable memory of your goals, tasks, notes, and business context. It contrasts slow, generic, blank-slate Hermes usage with an Obsidian-backed “infinite context engine” that retrieves real notes quickly, reduces re-prompting, and produces more personalized outputs. The setup uses a simple markdown-based vault as the memory layer, can be shared across multiple agents (Hermes, Claude, OpenClaude, etc.) so they stay aligned, and improves over time through loops where new outputs become new notes—often automatically via tools like Omi syncing memories into Obsidian. The script also recommends running everything inside a mission-control agent operating system and offers a paid AI Profit Boardroom package with templates, zip files, prompts, coaching, and tutorials.
