What Is Agentic Context? 🧠 Hermes, Honcho Memory & Obsidian LLM Wiki

How can I make my AI Agent better? The simple answer is context 👀 In today's video, I explain the 3 essential context types & how to use them with any agent ✨ Try Honcho Free: https://go.honcho.dev/callum https://www.patreon.com/cw/wanderloots Everyone talks about giving agents context, but I think that that context is still underrated. It's one of THE best ways to improve the quality of your agent so it not only learns how you like to operate & what you're working on, but also how to improve itself automatically over time. Today, I explore the three core context types: 1) Built-in (Soul.md, Agents.md, User.md, Memory.md) along with the Hermes Memory Wiki Plugin 2) External memory tools (Honcho memory as the example) 3) Obsidian LLM Wiki (knowledge management) Each of these core context types contributes to an augmented agent, one that knows what you like and how it can help you better. You can even bring human in the loop style file management to ensure that only quality information makes it into your agent. One of the best parts of agentic memory is that you can use the SAME brain across any number of AI agents. Today I use Hermes Agent, but this process applies to them all (Codex, Claude Code, Openclaw, Antigravity, Cursor, etc.) Agent memory is just one layer in a stack of tools that can help optimize your agent for your workflows. It's a form of operational memory, distinct from something like Obsidian LLM Wiki, which is more about world memory. Agent memory remembers HOW you like to work, world knowledge (Obsidian) remembers WHAT you're working on.
