This article shows how to combine Obsidian for note capture, Claude Code for automated knowledge processing, and Hermes Agent for continuous task execution into a single system that scales a one-person company. Built in sequence, the vault accumulates raw inputs, the AI agent organizes and connects your knowledge, and a background agent handles repeatable tasks while learning from each run.

This article explains how to install and configure the open-source Hermes AI agent on your own server and use it to run a self-improving weather-trading bot on Polymarket. It covers Hermes’s memory, skill-creation, and always-on execution features, then walks through cloning a weather bot repo, setting up wallets, approvals, and trading prompts.
