I'm an IT guy who has not coded or used AI in the past. For over several weeks I have been trying to setup an Agent Zero install. Could not get it to work with any local models. I decided it was time to move on, so I installed Hermes with free models from several providers. From what I learned, I was able to finish the Agent Zero install one time through. Why 2 different agents when the normal rule is just learn one tool, before going to a second tool. Because I want to compare how each agent works. Each one is on a different computer. I tried to install OpenHuman next, just was not ready for primetime yet. So I will just run Hermes, Agent Zero and Zo Computer. My next step is to install some free speech to text app, have not figured it out yet. Then I will need to decide between OpenBrain, LLM Wiki or Second Brain.

I use AI all day. For a while I was using it heavily for coding (I'm a software engineer with two SaaS trading platforms) with Claude Code and Codex, and I've used it for writing copy, creating lead magnets, etc. Now I've got Open Claw and Hermes agents, and I'm working on getting them to create an endless stream of social media and blog posts. I've created an approval pipeline and a video generator, and I'm wiring it all up to get them cranking out content that I'm not embarrassed to put my name on. I'm also into the second brain idea, so that I'm not scattered across all the cloud LLMs. If anybody has a setup that is working for them, I'm not opposed to shortcuts. :-)
