Summary
The video discusses how to expand the memory of the Hermes AI agent by connecting it to an “LLM Wiki” based on Andrej Karpathy’s concepts. While Hermes is excellent at remembering conversational details, it lacks context about external knowledge. By creating a local LLM Wiki and setting up a dedicated Hermes skill, Hermes can bi-directionally read from and write to this knowledge base.
Key Takeaways
- The Blind Spot: Hermes knows you perfectly from chat history but doesn’t naturally know your world (external context).
- LLM Wiki Solution: A local, ever-growing directory of markdown files (often viewed in Obsidian) that Hermes can reference.
- Bi-directional Integration:
- Querying: Ask Hermes questions, and it will search the wiki.
- Ingesting: Pass articles to Hermes and ask it to “index this into my wiki.”
- Automation: Set up cron jobs within Hermes to automatically ingest data on a schedule.
