With Tool Search, Hermes keeps only core tools loaded and retrieves other tools only when needed, improving correct tool choice from 49% to 74% and maintaining speed even with large tool stacks; it activates automatically when tools exceed 10% of context. The video also highlights Hermes v0.15 improvements including faster searches, the ability to split into two specialist agents (planner and doer) that build separate skill libraries over time, and Kanban Swarms for running multiple agents collaboratively. It notes Hermes is open source from Nous Research, works with OpenClaw, can be updated via a terminal command, and showcases examples like generating a local SEO guide, keyword mapping, and video creation.\n00:00 Tool Search Breakthrough\n00:43 Why More Tools Hurt\n02:08 How Tool Search Works\n02:58 Auto Activation Explained\n03:23 Business Impact Examples\n05:18 Hermes v0.15 Extras\n06:39 What Is Hermes Agent\n07:44 Real Project Demo\n08:52 Bigger Picture Shift\n09:33 Getting Help Setup\n10:28 Final Takeaways","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}
