Setting up remote access for a dedicated Hermes AI agent machine, then building a custom content-creation agent profile live.
In this stream I set up Tailscale on a MacBook Air, connect it back to my main machine, configure Hermes Desktop, create a custom “soul” profile for a proactive TechFren content agent, connect tools like X, Reddit, Playwright, and Discord, and test whether this setup can become a real always-on assistant.
We cover Tailscale setup, Mac screen sharing, Hermes Desktop, Codex-powered agents, MCP setup, X and Reddit account setup, Discord bot/gateway setup, remote access security, approval boundaries, and what a 24/7 proactive content agent should actually be allowed to do.
