The updated Module 1 of my Hermes Agent Masterclass — from a blank machine to a fully installed, configured agent that completes a real task, not a toy demo. 🧠 Run agents? Give them a knowledge base.

I take you from zero through the Windows install and the full setup wizard (provider, tools, backend), then tour the ~20 CLI and slash commands you'll actually use every day and where everything lives in the .hermes directory. We finish with a real first task — pointing the agent at live web search to research competitors and hunt for market gaps in an actual business idea of mine.
