@Joseph Schwerha I haven't tried either of those but I highly recommend this one. It was super easy to install. https://hermes-workspace.com/

@Marc Cooper I highly recommend watching the vibe coding course, getting Claude Code installed, and brainstorming ideas. You can also use something like Idea Browser to help ideate and validate your ideas. You can always message me if you have questions or join the unlimited one-on-one calls we have in the group.

@Joseph Schwerha @Stephen King nailed most of this skip the vps for now, you dont need that headache yet just run openclaw or hermes locally on your mac or pc and let claude code or codex sit on top as the orchestrator. thats the real super platform combo people are chasing trying to wire hermes plus claude cowork plus openai together on day one is how you burn a week debugging instead of shipping anything pick one, get it running, talk to it through claude code, build something real imo add layers later when you actually hit a wall

@Marc Cooper yo marc, youre further along than you think. the lead agent is already running. its whoever is replying to you on telegram right now. you dont set it up by editing files. just talk to it. paste this into telegram: set me up as your operator. ask me 5-10 questions about what i do, what im trying to build, my stack, what content i want to make, my schedule, and what you should never do. then write SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md and FRICTION.md to the workspace based on my answers. thats your lead agent configured. sub agents come from skills. once your foundation files are in, ask your agent to run clawhub list and install the skills that match your goals. RZA writes content, Ghostface does research, U-God handles thumbnails, etc. they get spawned automatically by the lead agent or run on cron once installed. you dont wire any of this manually. tell your agent what you want and let it figure out which sub agent to call.
