Your first AI assistant in a weekend — no experience required.
You don’t have to be technical. If you can copy, paste, and press Enter, this book gets Hermes Agent — a real AI assistant running on your own machine — installed and useful in one weekend.
No jargon without a translation. No skipped steps. Every step tells you what you should see on screen, and what to do if you see something else.
WHAT’S INSIDE
• Chapter 1 — Install in 15 Minutes: Mac, Windows, and Linux, each with exact clicks.
• Chapter 2 — Your First 5 Conversations: chosen for maximum wow on day one.
• Chapter 3 — 10 Prompts That Will Change Your Week: ready to copy, organized by morning routine, work, research, personal life, creative work.
• Plus: a plain-English glossary and troubleshooting for the five most common install problems.
WHO THIS IS FOR
→ You want an AI agent actually working this weekend
→ You’ve tried ChatGPT in a browser and wondered what “local” gets you
→ You don’t write code, and you’re tired of guides that assume you do
WHO THIS IS NOT FOR
→ You already run Hermes daily. That’s Book 1 — 58 Prompts for Power Users ($29) — and this book’s appendix tells you honestly when it’s time, including “not yet.”
WHAT YOU GET
✓ The complete book as a PDF (print + screen optimized)
✓ Plain-English everything — the glossary explains every term
✓ An honest map to what comes next, when you’re ready
One weekend. One assistant. Zero prior experience.
