[00:02]
10 AI Agents Working Together

Introduces a setup with 10 AI agents (CEO, tech lead, marketing, engineers) all working together on one screen like a real team.

[00:28]
Paperclip and Hermes Explained

Paperclip is a free tool that shows all AI agents on one board; Hermes is a free AI agent that does the work. Connected via Agent OS.

[00:53]
Problem of 20 AI Tabs

Before this system, the speaker used 20 AI tabs, copying info between them, losing context every time.

[01:58]
Setting Up the Org Chart

Create an org chart by hiring agents with roles (CEO, tech boss, marketing boss, workers). No coding required.

[02:24]
Giving Goals to Agents

Assign tasks like writing a 2-week email series; agents work autonomously and check the board on a schedule.

[03:03]
Spending Caps and Free Models

Each agent has a spending cap to prevent runaway costs; can run on free local models, costing zero.

[04:13]
Deliverables Attached to Tasks

Every task ends with a real deliverable (e.g., keyword research, ad ideas). Agents built a live command center autonomously.

[05:22]
Shared Brain Memory

All agents read from one memory holding business info, goals, voice. No need to re-explain context.

[05:47]
Addressing Objections

Answers concerns: no big budget needed, less work than managing tabs, runs on free models, easy setup.

[06:40]
Recap of the System

Recap: stop managing chats, hire agents with roles, give goals, cap costs, see deliverables, free on local models.

The video promotes a paid system (Agent OS in AI Profit Boardroom) that bundles Paperclip and Hermes for a seamless agent teamwork experience, but the core functionality can be replicated with free tools.

[00:02] insane and today I'm going to show you why. Picture this, 10 AI agents, one screen and they all work together like a real team. I'm talking a CEO agent, a tech lead agent, a marketing agent, engineers, all of them running at the

[00:16] same time, all of them doing real work and me, I just give them a goal and walk away. That's what Paperclip plus Hermes does and once you see it, you can't unsee it. So let me back up for one second. Paperclip is a free tool that

[00:28] shows all your AI agents on one board. Hermes is a free AI agent that does the actual work. You connect them together and now you've got a full team on one real life. I open one window, I see

[00:41] every agent I've got, I see what each one is doing right now. Green dot means they're working. I can watch the tasks move across the board live. It feels nobody's on payroll but me. Now let me

[00:53] this is the part that hits home. Before this, I had 20 AI tabs open. 20. One for this AI, one for that AI, one for research, one for writing and none of them knew about each other. So I'd copy something from one tab and paste it into

[01:07] job done and every time I open a new chat, I had to explain my whole business again from scratch. Who I am, what I do, what I'm working on every single time. Then I'd close my laptop and boom, it's all gone. Every setup wiped. I'd have to

[01:21] of you are living like that right now? 20 tabs, explaining yourself over and over, losing your work every time you shut the lid. Yeah, I know because I was there too. Then I wired Paperclip and Hermes together inside something called

[01:33] the Agent OS and everything changed. Now stay with me because I'm going to show you exactly how each piece works and each part gets better than the last. Hey, if we haven't met already, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of

[01:45] SEO agency Goldie Agency. Whilst he's helping clients get more leads and customers, I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates. Julian Goldie reads below. Let's start with the org chart. This is the first thing you set up. An

[01:58] org chart is just a map of who does what. At the top, you've got the CEO agent. I call mine Ada. Under Ada, you've got the bosses, a tech boss, a marketing boss. Under them, you've got the workers, the engineers, the writers,

[02:11] a role, everybody has a boss. And here's the cool part, you don't code any of this. You click a button that says hire, you pick a role, done. If you can use a to-do list app, you can do this. Here's one example. You could hire a marketing

[02:24] agent and tell it to write a 2-week email series that shows people how AI does it. You come back and it's sitting there, ready, okay? So, you've got your team. Now what? Now you give them a goal, and this is where it gets good.

[02:37] day. You give them a task, like giving a job to a real employee, then you walk away. Each agent wakes up on a schedule. It checks the board, it grabs its job, and it gets to work on its own, while

[02:49] that again a different way, because it's a big deal. You are not babysitting these agents. You set the goal, they handle the rest. And the board shows you they're on, when they did it. You can watch the whole thing move. Now, I know

[03:03] right now. This is going to run up a huge bill while I'm not looking. Nope. And here's why, every single agent has a spending cap. You set the limit. The surprises, no runaway bills ever. And it gets better. You can run these agents on

[03:17] free local models. That means the whole thing can cost you zero. Paperclip is free, Hermes is free. Run it on free models and you're paying nothing to run quick second. If you're watching this and thinking, "I want this exact setup,

[03:32] figuring it out." Here's the good news. The full Paperclip plus Hermes system is already built and waiting for you inside the AI Profit Boardroom. You get the zip file ready to install. You get the exact prompts to set up your CEO agent, your

[03:46] marketing agent, all of it. And you get coaching calls four times a a where we set it up together, step-by-step live. So, instead of guessing, you just follow along and copy what works. The link is in the description. Okay, back to it

[03:59] because I saved the best part for now, the output. This is the part that makes right? What did the agents actually build? Every task ends with a real deliverable attached right to the ticket. You click the task and you see

[04:13] thing. Here's what happened with mine. I didn't even ask for this. The CEO agent keyword research. Then it built out a full plan to help more people find our stuff online. Then it even made some ad ideas on its own while I was doing other

[04:28] things. And here's the wildest part. The agents built a live command center, a screen where I can watch the whole team work in real time. The agents built the tool that shows me the agents working. Let that be the thing you remember from

[04:41] say, "That looks like a team of coders built it." Nope, 10 agents, zero humans but me. So, let me show you why this beats just opening one AI chat. When you open a normal AI chat, you're just managing one conversation. That's it.

[04:55] You type, it types back, you type again all day. But with this, you're running a way, you've got 20 tabs and you lose yourself every time and one bad loop can

[05:08] it. The new way, you've got one screen, one org chart, one budget you control. The agents pass work to each other and it all keeps running even while you in a way that actually works. And here's the thing that ties it all together, the

[05:22] shared brain. This is the piece that changes everything. All your agents read from one memory, one place that holds your business, your goals, your voice. agent knows you. Your marketing agent

[05:34] knows your real projects. You never explain yourself again. Think about what that means. The work one agent does, the next agent already knows about. Nothing gets lost. Nothing gets repeated. It all builds on itself. Now, let me handle a

[05:47] because I've heard them all. I need a big team and a big budget for this. No, The whole thing I showed you runs on free local models. Zero. Managing a

[05:59] bunch of agents sounds like more work. That's the old way. 20 tabs, remember? CEO agent runs the others, you're doing less, not more. It runs in the this stuff settles down. Here's the truth. It's not going to settle down.

[06:13] New models drop every week. But the people who learn to run agent teams now, everyone else catches up. This stuff compounds. It gets stronger the longer are thinking this all sounds too technical, but I've watched people who

[06:27] never touched AI before get this running the same day. It installs by clicking one file. And if you get stuck, you can literally tell the AI, "Set this up for me." and it does it. So let's recap what you just learned. You learned how to

[06:40] stop managing chats and run a team of agents instead. You learned how to hire agents with real roles and a real boss. You learned how to give them a goal and You learned how to cap the cost so nothing runs away. You learned how to

[06:53] see every deliverable attached right to the ticket. And you learned how to do the whole thing for free on local models. That's a real company running itself with one person steering, you. So here's how you get the whole thing. If

[07:05] you want the full Paperclip plus Hermes setup, you can grab the Agent OS inside the AI Profit Boardroom. And the big thing here is you get the full zip file ready to install. Not just the idea, the actual system done for you. It wires

[07:19] Paperclip, Hermes, and your other AI agents into one place with that shared brain I showed you. So your whole team knows your business from day one. You setup, and you get coaching calls where we build your agent team together live,

[07:34] setup on the spot. There's a 30-day roadmap that walks you from one screen to a a team of agents working while you sleep, daily tutorials, links in the comments and description, or go to aiprofitboardroom.com.
