A developer demonstrated the system by orchestrating an entire product launch campaign, using specialist agents with defined dependencies and parallel execution to generate landing pages, blog posts, email sequences, social media content, and YouTube scripts simultaneously. The Kanban board provides live logs, status updates, and artifact management, allowing users to track task progress and agent activity in real time.", "body_md": "Most AI agent frameworks have a problem.\n\nYou can create agents.\n\nYou can give them tools.\n\nYou can even make them collaborate.\n\nBut as soon as your workflow gets complex, things start breaking down.\n\n📌 Tasks become difficult to track.\n\n📌 Dependencies become messy.\n\n📌 You lose visibility into what’s running.\n\n📌 Outputs become disconnected.\n\n📌 Coordination becomes manual.\n\nThe new Hermes Agent Kanban Board solves exactly that problem.\n\nAnd after spending time with it, I genuinely think this is one of the biggest upgrades Hermes Agent has shipped so far.\n\nTo test it, I decided to orchestrate an entire product launch campaign using multiple specialized AI agents working together inside a single workflow.\n\nWhat happened was pretty impressive.\n\nMost AI tools today are conversation-driven.\n\nThe workflow usually looks like this:\n\n💬 Open a chat\n\n✍️ Write a prompt\n\n📄 Copy the output\n\n📋 Paste it somewhere else\n\n🔄 Repeat 20 more times\n\nThe AI may be smart.\n\nBut the workflow isn’t.\n\nAnd that’s where Hermes Kanban enters the picture.\n\nHermes Kanban is a visual workflow orchestration system built directly into Hermes Agent.\n\nInstead of managing agents through separate chats, you coordinate everything through a task board.\n\n✅ Task assignment\n\n✅ Dependencies\n\n✅ Parent-child relationships\n\n✅ Parallel execution\n\n✅ Live logs\n\n✅ Workflow visualization\n\n✅ Artifact management\n\nThink of it as:\n\n🧠 AI Agents + 📋 Trello + 🎯 Workflow Automation\n\nall inside a single system.\n\nIn the video, I cover:\n\n✅ Installing Hermes Agent\n\n✅ Creating specialist agents\n\n✅ Setting up web search\n\n✅ Building Kanban workflows\n\n✅ Managing dependencies\n\n✅ Running tasks in parallel\n\n✅ Reviewing outputs\n\n✅ Publishing final deliverables\n\nTask Dependencies.\n\nThis sounds simple.\n\nBut it’s incredibly powerful.\n\nImagine you’re launching a product.\n\nBefore creating content, you need:\n\n🔍 Audience Research\n\nThen:\n\n📊 Messaging & Positioning\n\nOnly after that can you create:\n\n✍️ Blog Posts\n\n📧 Email Sequences\n\n📱 Social Content\n\n🎥 YouTube Scripts\n\nWith Hermes Kanban, those relationships are explicitly defined.\n\n```\nAudience Research\n       ↓\nMessaging & Positioning\n       ↓\n\nLanding Page\nBlog Posts\nEmails\nSocial Posts\nYouTube Scripts\n```\n\nEvery downstream task can reference outputs generated by upstream tasks.\n\nThis creates a true workflow rather than a collection of isolated prompts.\n\nOnce positioning was complete, I launched five content-generation tasks simultaneously.\n\nSuddenly I had:\n\n✍️ Landing Page Creation\n\n📝 Blog Writing\n\n📧 Email Sequence Generation\n\n📱 Social Media Content\n\n🎥 YouTube Script Creation\n\nall running at the same time.\n\nNot one after another.\n\nNot manually triggered.\n\nThe system orchestrated everything automatically.\n\nWatching multiple AI agents execute work in parallel felt less like using an AI tool and more like managing a real team.\n\nFor this demo, I created four specialist agents.\n\nResponsible for:\n\n⸻\n\nResponsible for:\n\n⸻\n\nResponsible for:\n\n⸻\n\nResponsible for:\n\nEach agent had its own:\n\n🧠 Memory\n\n⚙️ Configuration\n\n📖 Instructions\n\n🎯 Responsibilities\n\nThis specialization dramatically improves output quality.\n\nOne thing I really appreciated was transparency.\n\nEvery task provides:\n\n📜 Execution logs\n\n📊 Status updates\n\n📂 Generated artifacts\n\n⏱️ Progress tracking\n\nInstead of wondering:\n\n“What is my agent doing right now?”\n\nYou can actually see it.\n\nFor complex workflows, this is incredibly valuable.\n\nTo showcase the Kanban board, I created a launch workflow for a fictional product called Momentum.\n\nMomentum is an AI-powered habit tracker that adapts to your natural energy patterns.\n\nThe workflow looked like this:\n\n🔍 Audience Research\n\n↓\n\n📊 Messaging & Positioning\n\n↓\n\n✍️ Landing Page\n\n📝 Blog Posts\n\n📧 Email Sequence\n\n📱 Social Posts\n\n🎥 YouTube Scripts\n\n↓\n\n🔍 Content Review\n\n↓\n\n✅ Final Revisions\n\nThe marketing campaign itself wasn’t the interesting part.\n\nThe interesting part was watching Hermes Kanban coordinate the entire process.\n\nOnce all content was generated, I handed everything over to the Reviewer agent.\n\nIt analyzed:\n\n📧 Emails\n\n📄 Landing Pages\n\n📝 Blog Content\n\n📱 Social Posts\n\n🎥 Scripts\n\nand checked for:\n\n✅ Consistency\n\n✅ Clarity\n\n✅ Accuracy\n\n✅ Tone\n\nIt identified several issues and produced actionable feedback.\n\nThen I created one final task.\n\nThe Writer agent consumed that feedback and automatically updated all assets.\n\nThis created a genuine feedback loop between agents.\n\nExactly how real teams operate.\n\nThe marketing workflow was simply a demonstration.\n\nThe same approach could be used for:\n\nResearch → Design → Code → Review → Documentation\n\nKeyword Research → Content Brief → Writing → Optimization\n\nData Collection → Analysis → Reporting\n\nResearch → Strategy → Outreach → Growth\n\nResearch → Writing → Editing → Publishing\n\nAnywhere you have a repeatable workflow, Hermes Kanban becomes interesting.\n\nMost AI products focus on conversations.\n\nHermes Kanban focuses on workflows.\n\nThat’s a major difference.\n\nInstead of:\n\n👤 Human → 🤖 AI\n\nyou get:\n\n👤 Human → 👥 AI Team\n\nOne agent researches.\n\nOne analyzes.\n\nOne writes.\n\nOne reviews.\n\nThe workflow coordinates everything.\n\nYou supervise.\n\nThat feels much closer to the future of AI systems than simply chatting with a chatbot.\n\nThe most exciting part of Hermes Kanban isn’t marketing automation.\n\nIt’s the ability to coordinate teams of AI agents through structured workflows.\n\nI’m curious:\n\n👉 What workflow would you automate first?\n\nProduct development?\n\nContent operations?\n\nResearch?\n\nCustomer support?\n\nLet me know in the comments.",
