Gave my first task to Hermes Agent with MiniMax M3 and it's seriously good. With a Token Plus plan it's such good value for the quality returned. Combine this with solid meta prompting and you are smiling as you see the tasks being developed and outputs being delivered. Give it a try and tell me what you think.

Wow, sometimes monitoring and handling AI Agents can feel like babysitting, or should I call it AgentSitting. You give a /goal prompt to your agent, it starts well, you are getting good results, and yet it leads to some basic issues which need attending to. You then realise it is time for a model update, then a server update, then a Agent update, which turns into a failing error for which Doctor --fix is not enough and you end up prompting until it survives the update and restart. It is a process, and you learn along the way until you trust it (and yourself) enough to update cautiously but confidently as you do have backups and a good memory system in place. How do you deal with updates and improvements?

Here's what I see every cohort: founders who nail launch day and then go dark for 6 weeks "iterating." Meanwhile, the scrappiest builders in the Foundry are shipping every 2 weeks and outlearning them. Iteration isn't polish time. It's your between-launch improvement engine. It's where you find out what you actually built vs what you thought you built. The loop is simple: 1. Ship something real 2. Get it in front of users fast 3. Watch what they actually do (not what they say) 4. Fix the 1 thing blocking them 5. Repeat Heap, Posthog, amplitude. Pick one. Look at the one event that's dropping off. That's your iteration target. VC-backed startups iterate slowly because they need board sign-off to change direction. You don't. That's your edge. The founders who win are the ones who shipped ugly, learned fast, and iterated faster. Not the ones who "waited until it was ready." So here's the question: what's the one thing users are doing that you didn't expect? And are you fixing it this week, or waiting for the next launch? If you want a group of founders who actually do this every 2 weeks instead of talking about it, you know where to find us.

Born in Brussels. Raised in three languages. Been building things on the internet since before most people knew what the internet was. Back in 1985, I was connecting schools across Europe using the ARPANET, the internet before the internet. By the 2000s, I was leading a team in Amsterdam with one job: increase the speed of the internet. I've since trained nearly 5,000 founders and project managers worldwide and spent years helping startups go from chaos to clarity at launch. Today I'm fully focused on one thing: AI integration for startup founders, and specifically using Hermes Agent, a strategic AI system built to help founders like you get results fast, without the overwhelm. What I bring here: - 35+ years of strategy, startups, and real-world execution - A practical AI integration approach built for founders - Zero tolerance for fluff, only what actually works I'm here to be by your side, contribute, guide you but also learn alongside you, not to pitch. So tell me, what are you building? 🚀

Before we go live with anything new, we prep. Assets, docs, copy, the stuff that makes a launch feel ready instead of rushed. Hermes is handling that workload now. Not the creative, that's still on us. But the assembly, the formatting, the "make it exist in 5 places at once" work. What that means in practice: We feed it the brief, it structures the output. We review, tweak, approve. It ships. No more manually updating 4 different doc folders before every release. No more "wait, did we already post that announcement?" The system knows what exists and where. We're not AI-first because it's trendy. We're AI-first because a 2-person team that automates the boring stuff ships more than a 5-person team that doesn't. The founders in the Foundry know this already. If you're still copy-pasting your own launch assets across 6 tools every time, that's not hustle, that's waste. Question for you: what's the one prep task you keep putting off because it feels too tedious to do manually? I'll bet there's an agent for that.
