One of the smartest things you can do with Hermes right now: Use Obsidian to build a second-brain database that self-evolves over time. Here's how to set it up in <5 minutes: Step 1. Download Obsidian Head to obsidian . md and download the desktopp app. Create a new Obsidian vault (this is where all notes live locally). Start dumping everything in here: - Business context - Personal goals - Meeting summaries The more you put in, the more powerful it gets. Step 2. Connect Hermes to your Obsidian vault Open the new Hermes desktop app and paste this prompt: "I want to connect you to my new obsidian vault and have you act as my second-brain orchestrator - do everything necessary to set up that connection now." This gives Hermes direct access to everything inside your vault. Step 3. Let it self-evolve Every time you add a new note, Hermes automatically ingests it. Prompt Hermes: "Every day, scan my second brain database. Every time I add a new note, use it to create reusable skills and workflows." Pro tip: Once Obsidian is connected to your agent, you can just prompt it directly to add notes/context/data. This is what a true AI second brain looks like. Save this and build your second brain system now.
