AI Agents for Product Managers - Fully Explained! (Hermes Agent walkthrough)

🚀 Become an AI-Native Product Manager. The world of Product Management is shifting from "writing PRDs" to "building systems." In this session, we go beyond the hype to explain how AI Agents (not just chatbots!) can automate your PM workflow. We do a deep dive into the Hermes Agent—a persistent AI assistant that stays alive on a VM and grows with you.

📍 What you’ll learn:

The Anatomy of an Agent: Brains (LLMs), Tools, Memory, and Loops.
Persistent vs. Task Agents: Why Hermes is different from Claude Code.
The AI-Builder PM: How to use agents for discovery, validation, and shipping.
Live Walkthrough: Setting up Hermes on a VM and connecting it to Telegram.
