The video demonstrates how to set up Hermes agents within the Buzz platform, enabling multiple agents across different machines to collaborate effectively using a shared project environment and a native gateway integration. It also highlights the technical setup process, including CLI installation, key management, and multi-agent workflows, while encouraging community involvement in developing Buzz skills for enhanced agent collaboration.
In this video, the creator demonstrates how to set up Hermes agents within the Buzz platform and how to enable multiple agents to collaborate effectively across different machines. Using a private group, the presenter showcases interactions between various agents, including Hermes agents on different devices and a Claude agent on the local PC, working together on project-related queries such as making pull requests from separate machines. This collaborative setup leverages a shared project folder and repository, allowing seamless teamwork among agents.
The video then dives into the technical setup of Hermes agents in Buzz, highlighting the integration announced by News Research. The presenter explains that while there are multiple ways to integrate Hermes agents, the recommended approach is using the native gateway platform for full functionality, including cron delivery, image handling, and session management. A key prerequisite emphasized is having the Buzz CLI binary correctly installed and accessible on the system path, as without it, agents may appear connected but will not respond properly.
To facilitate the setup, the creator introduces a custom skill available on their GitHub repository, which guides agents through the Buzz CLI installation and configuration process. The video walks through creating a new Hermes agent named Admiral on a VPS, generating a private key essential for gateway configuration, and connecting the agent to a Buzz community via the gateway setup wizard. The importance of managing public and private keys securely is stressed, comparing them to crypto wallet keys to underline the need for privacy.
Once the gateway and CLI are properly configured, the video demonstrates successful communication with the Admiral agent, including memory retention of previous conversations. The presenter then showcases how multiple Hermes agents on different devices—Admiral on the VPS, Hibana on a DJ Spark, and Bulls on the local PC—can collaborate by assigning tasks such as researching updates and cross-verifying information. This example illustrates the potential for multi-agent workflows within Buzz, enhancing productivity and teamwork.
In conclusion, the video encourages viewers to explore and contribute to the ongoing development of Buzz skills on GitHub, which aim to improve agent functionality and usability. The presenter invites feedback and questions from the community, emphasizing the evolving nature of the platform and the exciting possibilities for agent collaboration in team environments. The video serves as both a practical guide and an introduction to the collaborative potential of Hermes agents within Buzz.
