It explains how to update via the terminal using “Hermes update,” and highlights six improvements: dramatically faster startup after a major refactor that reduced the codebase by 76%, an upgraded Kanban that now supports multi-agent workflows where one task is split into subtasks completed in parallel by multiple agent profiles (Agent Swarms), and a rebuilt chat/session search that’s claimed to be 4,500× faster (20 ms vs 90 s) without using an LLM. The update also adds stronger security with Bitwarden Secrets Manager and a single shared vault for keys, push notifications when jobs finish, and improved skill bundles that let users load multiple skills at once (e.g., browser tools).\n00:00 Velocity Update Overview\n00:40 How to Update Hermes\n00:59 Faster Startup Refactor\n01:28 Kanban Multi Agent Teams\n03:12 Agent Swarms In Action\n04:07 Agent OS Plug\n04:26 Instant Chat Search\n05:14 Security Vault Protection\n05:52 Push Notifications\n06:14 Skill Bundles Setup\n06:48 Recap And Upgrade Steps\n07:38 Boardroom Offer And Wrap","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Tp0JSUlyiAe2ran44b13cjk4ImQYS1QEMKCAa9Q7go0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNTYz/NGQxMTU2ZTM1MzU5/MDNiYjcwZjJmYTY5/ODJmOS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
