Episode Details

Give Hermes Persistent Memory for Free: OMI + Obsidian Context Setup (Works Across AI Agents)The video shows how to improve Hermes’ context and persistent memory by connecting it to OMI and an Obsidian vault, creating an automatic, fast, and largely free system that works across local AI agents (including Hermes and Open Claw). OMI records conversations and, with enabled screen recording and microphone access, captures daily activity to auto-generate organized “memories,” which can be exported into Obsidian as a growing memories file (over 650 entries in a few weeks). Hermes (and other agents) can then be pointed to the Obsidian file path to read and use these notes for context without manual updates or training. The script also mentions optional OMI features like wearable syncing, limited on-screen Q&A messages, and exporting to other apps (calendar, email, local files, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini), plus a paid community/tutorial offering.00:00 Upgrade Hermes Memory00:31 OMI and Obsidian Setup01:20 How OMI Captures Context02:10 Syncing to Obsidian Vault02:51 Link Vault to Hermes03:28 Extra OMI Features04:15 Use With OpenClaw04:59 More Integrations and Rewind05:27 Wrap Up and Next Steps
