The Always-On AI Mac Guide

Set up your Mac mini or MacBook to run an AI agent. This free beginner guide walks through the setup I used for my dedicated Mac mini, with notes for MacBook users.

Inside, I cover:

• Keeping your agent Mac separate from your personal iCloud data
• Installing Hermes, with ChatGPT as backup help
• Setting up power, restarts, and login
• Connecting remotely with Tailscale, sharing files, and using the mini from your everyday Mac
• Running your first task
