Hermes Agent: The Personal AI OS for Work and Business

**Brad Freels**, Azure Data and AI Strategist at Microsoft, will demonstrate **Hermes Agent**, a personal AI operating system designed to help professionals move beyond one-off prompts and into repeatable, agentic workflows. This session is for business practitioners who already understand the basics of LLMs and want to see what comes next: AI systems that can remember context, coordinate tasks, follow schedules, use skills, work across profiles, and support ongoing business processes. Brad will show how **Hermes** turns individual requests into structured workflows that can be reused over time. Instead of treating AI as a chatbot for isolated tasks, Hermes demonstrates how agentic systems can operate more like a personal work layer for business planning, execution, and decision support. The session will include practical examples such as: * An **Agentic Company** model with agents for lead generation, lead qualification, outreach, and fulfillment * A **Personal Board of Directors** model that routes questions through different advisory roles * Workflow examples that show how memory, skills, messaging, and scheduling can work together This will be a practical, educational session focused on making agentic systems easier to understand, easier to evaluate, and easier to begin using in real business contexts.
