Commerce is about to change more in the next 18 months than it has in the last 18 years, and almost nobody in our space is positioned for it. Nous Research and Stripe. Two logos like that do not end up in the same graphic by accident. Here is why it matters to you. Stripe runs the payment rails for a massive chunk of the internet. Their entire current thesis is that AI agents are becoming autonomous economic actors, and that agents will soon be responsible for most online transactions. Their own framing: agents work faster than we do, so they are going to spend money a lot faster too. Now connect the dots. Hermes is the agent we build everything on. Hermes agents already research, decide, and act. Add payment rails and the loop closes. The agent becomes the buyer. Here is what that does to marketing. For 20 years, marketing has basically been emotional manipulation with better fonts. Scarcity. Countdown timers. FOMO. The founder origin story. Social proof walls. Fake urgency. Pretty packaging. All of it engineered to push a human's emotional buttons hard enough to get a card out of a wallet. That entire playbook assumes a human is the buyer. When your customer's agent is the one buying, none of it lands. An agent does not feel FOMO. It does not tear up at your origin story. It does not panic at a countdown timer. It reads structured data, compares real options on real criteria, checks the evidence, and transacts. So the game flips. The question stops being "how do I make a human FEEL something" and becomes "how do I make my offer legible and choosable to a machine." Marketing for agents looks like this: - Clean, structured, machine-readable data about what you actually sell - Real specs and real pricing, not vague "contact us to learn more" walls - Verifiable claims: actual reviews, actual evidence, actual numbers - Endpoints an agent can read and act on directly - Zero manipulation, because manipulation does not compute If you read my last post on QC, this is the same lesson from the other direction. We force a real reviewer name and real review evidence into every cold email, not just to dodge spam filters, but because verifiable substance is exactly what an agent buyer trusts. Vibes are for humans. Evidence is for agents. Build for evidence.

Hey, discovered an error in the slack manifest for Hermes. Here's the fixed manifest. Just replace "name": "[REPLACE HERE]" on line 3, and line 14 "display_name": "[replace here]". { "display_information": { "name": "Turfy", "description": "Your Turf Monopoly Hermes agent on Slack", "background_color": "#1a1a2e" }, "features": { "app_home": { "home_tab_enabled": false, "messages_tab_enabled": true, "messages_tab_read_only_enabled": false }, "bot_user": { "display_name": "Turfy", "always_online": true }, "slash_commands": [ { "command": "/hermes", "url": "https://hermes-agent.local/slack/commands", "description": "Talk to Hermes or run a subcommand", "should_escape": false }, { "command": "/start", "url": "https://hermes-agent.local/slack/commands", "description": "Acknowledge platform start pings without a reply", "should_escape": false }, { "command": "/new", "url": "https://hermes-agent.local/slack/commands", "description": "Start a new session (fresh session ID + history)", "should_escape": false }, { "command": "/retry", "url": "https://hermes-agent.local/slack/commands", "description": "Retry the last message (resend to agent)", "should_escape": false }, { "command": "/undo", "url": "https://hermes-agent.local/slack/commands", "description": "Back up N user turns and re-prompt (default 1)", "should_escape": false }, { "command": "/title", "url": "https://hermes-agent.local/slack/commands", "description": "Set a title for the current session", "should_escape": false }, { "command": "/branch", "url": "https://hermes-agent.local/slack/commands", "description": "Branch the current session (explore a different path)", "should_escape": false },

Hey everyone, so Skool Live feature doesn't work for me since I live in Dubai. Didn't know that. Now I do. So here is the link to join. https://meet.google.com/jcv-jcqj-uzu The calendar has been updated as well. Thanks for your patience. Ty

I was doing good in the classroom until Ty got to connecting Hermes to slack. The video is grainy, and I couldn't really keep up..
