Real builds, free tools, and the thinking behind production AI systems. Everything here comes from work that actually shipped.
System breakdowns and field notes from real builds.
Hermes Agent is powerful, but running an autonomous AI agent on a remote server raises real questions about safety, isolation, and cost. Here is exactly how I am setting mine up on a Hetzner CPX22, what Docker does to contain it, and what risks remain.
Hermes Agent is a self-improving open-source AI agent that gets better the more you use it. Paired with ChatGPT 5.5 as its brain, it becomes a 24/7 AI employee that builds skills, schedules tasks, and runs autonomously. Here is why I am adopting it.
Codex is now a desktop super app with a built-in browser, annotation mode, and computer use. Claude Code is still a terminal-first local agent that writes cleaner code. Here is an honest comparison from someone who builds on both.
Standalone .md files you can drop into any Claude Code project. No signup, no gating.
Generates a self-playing animated HTML demo for any project. Single-file output with intro screen, dashboard mockup, step-by-step cursor animation, sidebar captions, timeline controls, and piano music.
Template-based demo generator with full mobile support. Responsive layout, touch gestures, fullscreen API, and landscape detection. Faster to generate but may need manual adjustments on complex projects.
Generates browser console scripts to extract data from paginated websites. Accumulates results across pages via localStorage, then processes and cleans the output into ready-to-use JSON.
One call. One honest answer. If it is not a fit, I say so in the first five minutes. No pitch, no pressure, no commitment.
