Nate Herk | AI Automation
Hi 👋 I'm Nate Herk. I’m passionate about helping businesses unlock the power of AI Automations to save time, cut costs, and stay competitive. I believe that businesses that don’t adopt AI will struggle to keep up, and I’m here to make sure you’re ahead of the curve. Whether you’re new to AI or looking to refine your workflows, I’m here to guide you through it all. Let’s build a more efficient future together! Book a call on my website!
How To Win With AI (without starting an agency)
The video argues that simply starting an AI automation agency is only one of many viable routes into AI today. It emphasizes that real opportunity lies in becoming AI-fluent within your current role or company, with two practical paths: build an external AI consulting/agency track or climb internally as an AI-native leader (e.g., chief AI officer). The speaker backs this with IBM CEO study insights and encourages choosing a path aligned with passion, then proving value through small, tangible AI-driven wins.
I Tested 3 Ways to Deploy Claude Agents (Here's When to Use Each)
The video breaks down three practical ways to deploy Cloud agents to run autonomously: a local loop controlled by cron-like scheduling, cloud or desktop routines (remote or local) with session management, and deploying scripts via modal or trigger.dev. It also covers how each method sits on the WAT framework (workflow, agent, tools), their run contexts (local vs cloud), pros and cons, and tips on session handling, prompts, and the agent SDK.
Anthropic Just Dethroned OpenAI. Here's What Happens Next.
The speaker analyzes a shift in AI adoption, noting Anthropic surpassing OpenAI in business adoption in April and discussing the implications of pricing, free usage promos, and the strategic value of data. He argues that adoption and data are the real moats, urges building flexible, multi-tool workflows to avoid vendor lock-in, and emphasizes forming durable habits and projects that can move between different AI platforms as the landscape evolves.
Every Level of Claude Explained in 21 Minutes
The video walks through Claude’s five levels from Enthusiast to Architect, outlining the key capabilities and cheat codes to progress each level. It covers memory and context, connectors, file creation, artifacts, inline visuals, Office integrations, co-work on desktop, design capabilities, and advanced automation with sub agents, parallel workspaces, and orchestrated cloud routines, finishing with trust as the final barrier to reach level five.
Multi-Agent Building In Claude Code Somehow Got Easier
The video showcases the new agent view in Cloud Code, letting you manage multiple cloud-code sessions from a single terminal tab. It demonstrates navigating sessions with keyboard, using commands like /bg and claude-bg to launch tasks, viewing status and input requirements, and discusses usage patterns (scaling concurrent sessions, managing long-running agents, and the new Goal feature) along with notes about it being a research preview and potential bugs.
Hermes Agent: Zero to Personal AI Assistant (1 Hour Course)
The video introduces Hermes Agent as a powerful open-source AI agent that runs on your own infrastructure and evolves through memory and skills. It covers a hands-on setup on a private VPS (via Docker/one-click install), contrasts Hermes with Claude/OpenClaw/OpenCloudCode, explains the five pillars (memory, skills, soul, cron automation, and self-improvement), and demonstrates syncing with GitHub for persistent state and automations across platforms like Telegram.
Printing Press Just 10x'd Everyone's Claude Code
The video argues that command-line interfaces (CLIs) are a superior abstraction for autonomous agents compared to APIs and MCPs, highlighting their token efficiency, local backends, and pre-built CLI libraries in Printing Press. It walks through building and using CLIs (the School CLI and PP CLI), exploring how CLIs enable fast, self-contained workflows, catalog-driven tooling, and easy sharing of skills, with examples like pulling posts, ESPN data, YouTube tasks, and a Hacker News CLI. The speaker also explains how to start with a starter pack, install Go, and reverse-engineer sites to create custom CLIs while avoiding API keys in code.
Overwhelmed By AI? Just Copy My Tech Stack
The video presents a lean, tiered AI toolkit and the speaker’s day-to-day workflow, explaining which tools sit in S, A, and B tiers and why they’re used. He emphasizes a tool-agnostic mindset, scalable project structure, and mindful experimentation to avoid overwhelm, sharing productivity rules and a free resource guide to help viewers apply these ideas without getting bogged down.
Claude Just Solved Session Limits
Anthropic discusses major compute and partnership updates, including SpaceX collaboration and dramatic increases in Claude’s usage limits, plus broader implications for developers and enterprises.
Master 97% of Codex in 1 Hour (full course)
The video demonstrates Codeex as a powerful local-agent platform, comparing it with Cloud Code and Claude while building a complete YouTube analytics project from scratch. It covers setting up planning (plan mode), creating agents (agents.mmd), integrating YouTube API keys, GitHub and Verscell, building reusable skills, dashboards, and automation, plus testing, deployment, and iterative improvements for an end-to-end workflow.
Higgsfield Just Turned Claude Into a Creative Agency
The video demonstrates turning Claude into a full-stack creative agency by connecting it with Higsfield (via MCP/CLI) to automate the creation of branding, product visuals, and ads using Marketing Studio and HyperMotion video capabilities. It also covers building reusable skills, automations, and routines, logging results in Google Sheets, and scaling to produce and test hundreds of variations with minimal human input while addressing prompts, consistency, and model limitations.
