A new generation of AI agents — including OpenClaw and Hermes — goes beyond answering questions, actively taking actions such as sending emails, updating schedules and scheduling social media posts. Unlike passive chatbots such as ChatGPT, these agents interact directly with external platforms. Getting started requires choosing an AI assistant and hosting it securely, for example on a Virtual Private Server.
A ‘digital hire’ won’t replace a skilled employee, but it can help automate many of the time-consuming tasks that eat up their day. Until recently, AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini answered questions, did research, and made suggestions – offering advice, but not actually taking action. Now, thanks to AI agents like OpenClaw and Hermes, AI can interact with other platforms, allowing it to take action like writing and sending emails, updating your schedule, or scheduling social media posts. In this guide, we explore everything you need to get started with a 'digital employee'. Getting started You’ll need a few things before you can get going with your new ‘digital employee’. First, you’ll need to pick an AI assistant. There are a few available; OpenClaw is the most popular, closely followed by Hermes. To run your AI agents safely, you’ll likely want to host them on a Virtual Private Server (VPS). Once this is set up, you can then communicate with it via a platform of your choice, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or Slack. The VPS is the ‘computer’ doing the heavy lifting, and you can communicate with your AI agent via an app on your phone. So, you don’t really need a powerful computer to run your agents. However, investing in a decent laptop will make it easier to manage workflows, along with the rest of your business, whilst on the go.
