Somebody brand new to Claude Code asked me last week whether to build an agent. Here's the order I'd do it in. First, get really good inside the terminal. That's where AI is the most powerful. Give it access to all of your tools in there. Second, n8n. It's the platform we use for automation, and it comes included with the Insiders. Third, an agent like Hermes. Very useful, but only once you know how to give it skills, tools and scheduled tasks. Now, why both? Because they do different jobs. An agent is always on. It runs in the background. You text it when you need something. It runs scheduled tasks. What it's not great at: an email comes in, do this, respond, send a reply. Anything trigger-based, we use n8n. And Claude Code is now very good at building inside n8n. Give it the n8n skills plus a connector that lets it talk to n8n. It builds the workflows. It debugs them. You never log in to n8n. You just tell it the automation flow you need, and it does it for you.

Hello Jay, is there still the possibility to register with you, in GHL and if so, which resources do I get? Thanks for your valuable content.

Has anyone experimented with these other agentic platforms? They seem a little simpler and less complex to setup and run, maybe not as customizable. Curious if any gurus have tried them all and have any feedback?

Every Hermes tutorial out there ends the moment the agent turns on. Usually with a Hostinger link underneath. That's the easy part. Claude Code takes a Hetzner API token, picks the server, installs Hermes and connects itself over SSH. The one I spun up on camera costs about $6 a month. I never log into the dashboard. I type /bob in Claude Code when I need to fix or teach it. The rest of the time I text it on iMessage. The hard part is everything after, and that's what this video is. Bob gets his own Gmail, his own phone number, his own GitHub repo and his own Supabase back end, so everything he does carries his fingerprint and not mine. Composio wires him into the apps without me building a developer app for each one. Five Gmail accounts, Slack, calendar, all in one place. The tools nobody mentions: Unipile for Instagram and LinkedIn DMs older than 24 hours, about $5 an account. Photon for iMessage without owning a Mac mini. Doppler so your keys stop getting "rotated" by the model every time you paste one. And the nightly job: read the last 24 hours of your own work and rewrite your own instructions. Skills, tooling, rules. Get those three working together and you have an employee. Watch it here Do you have your own Bob?

I am so excited to share my passions for AI automation with you. I created this community for actual business owners that want to start implementing AI into their businesses to scale faster, with less staff. This community will NOT be free for long. I will be adding my automations piece-by-piece. These are the SAME automations I use in my Inc 5000 agency that enable us to scale to $700K/mo with few staff. Now some next steps... 1. INTRODUCE YOURSELF in the comments on this post. 2. ASK FOR HELP if you need it by posting in the 'Automation Help' category. Include loom videos. My team and the community will try to help. BEFORE asking for help, search for your issue in the search bar. 3. GIVE VALUE. Help others if they ask. Share your own automation templates and walkthroughs. 4. BLUEPRINTS are available inside the Classroom and separated by use case (Sales, content, etc). You may need to pay to unlock certain modules. 5. WAITING is available for our AI Automation Insider Ultra program. Details coming soon. Welcome to the AI Automation Insiders!
