Build with the viral Omarchy + Hermes stack—with a Dell XPS 13 included

🔥 Omarchy went viral. It is the biggest thing to happen to builders in years, and it happened fast. DHH's open-source OS went from a side project to a $15.5M foundation backed by Meta, OpenAI & Anthropic.
🤖 Why should PMs and builders care? Omarchy is built around AI agents. They live on your machine and can build apps, add features to your desktop, and dig into what broke. For the first time, the gap between "I know what should exist" and "it exists" is one you can close yourself.

⚡ Installing Omarchy takes two minutes. Knowing what to do next is where most people stall: the prototype works once, breaks, and one more prompt doesn't fix it.

🛠 Over two weeks, Dmitry Shapiro & Dr. Marily Nika (Google, ex-Meta, PhD in ML) work with a small group to set up Omarchy + Hermes, build a full-stack app, and publish a plugin to the Omarchy marketplace. You'll learn enough of the stack to direct an agent precisely.

✨ No coding required.
💻 Hardware tier (optional): a new Dell XPS 13, shipped before we start and yours to keep.

What you’ll learn

Go from idea to shipped app and Omarchy plugin, with AI agents as your dev team—and the judgment to know what's working and what's not.

Install Omarchy from scratch, live, with real troubleshooting (and race DHH's 56-second record)
Wire up Hermes, connect it to your preferred AI model, and turn your workflows into reusable skills
Learn the key bindings that make the whole thing fast

The whole map in plain English: front end, back end, databases, hosting, auth
Why each piece exists and when to pick which (React vs HTMX, SQL vs vector DB, serverless vs hosted)
Async deep dives you can rewatch, plus office hours for your questions

Turn a product idea into instructions an agent can actually execute
Judge what the agent built: is it good, is it done, is it safe to ship?
Habits that keep API costs low and output quality high

Pick something real: a feature prototype, an internal tool, a workflow you want fixed
Build it with auth, a database, and a live URL, with your agent doing the typing
Live build session with Dmitry and Marily, plus dedicated debugging time

Wipe a brand-new Dell and install Omarchy from scratch, live, together (the same setup DHH runs)
Give agents real control of the OS: they can change settings, add desktop features, and fix what broke
Open source all the way down, so nothing is locked behind an App Store or a walled garden
