MindsHub is an agent workspace for completing knowledge work and developing software, with open-source agent harnesses and a choice of models.

MindsHub gives you the freedom to choose among models and providers instead of being locked into one ecosystem. Use its agent workspace for research, analysis, content creation, and software development. It is open source and can run on your machine, in your VPC, or through the hosted app.

This repository is the platform superproject: it pulls together the desktop/web app, the agent backend, and the data engine so you can build and run the whole stack from source.

For building intelligence into agents and products through one API, see MindsHub Inference. It provides a choice of models and providers with one set of controls and one bill.

Get started

Pick whichever fits:

• Web — nothing to install. Open console.mindshub.ai and sign in.
• macOS. Download the desktop app (.pkg).
• Windows. Download the desktop app (.exe).
• Linux. Build from source.

Free to start. Pro adds all frontier models and private artifacts — see pricing.

What you can do

For every knowledge worker — creators, strategists, and operators:

• Automate repetitive, multi-step work that involves reading and writing: reports, monitoring, recurring workflows, and scheduled operations.
• Build internal AI tools and artifacts — apps, dashboards, decks, docs, analyses — without engineering, and publish them to a live URL to share with your team.

What's inside

• Connected data. A secure vault links systems like BigQuery, Postgres, Gmail, Drive, HubSpot, Notion, and Linear. Credentials stay scoped per connection — agents never see raw keys.
• Model Router. Switch between frontier models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and open models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi) without wiring up a key for each provider.
• Open agents. Run interchangeable open-source harnesses — Anton (default) and Hermes — swappable from a dropdown.
• Artifacts. Turn agent output into documents, dashboards, apps, and code, and publish to a live URL.
• Memory, skills & scheduling. Cross-session memory, a reusable skill library, and tasks that run on a schedule.

Build from source

1. Clone the repository

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mindsdb/minds.git
cd minds

2. Install dependencies

make setup

3. Run

Fresh start: make flush removes the local runtime (the cowork-server uv tool and the backend/*/.venvs) and deletes app state in ~/.anton (provider keys) and ~/.cowork (database, hermes, projects). Use it to test the from-scratch install flow or recover from a broken install. It prompts for confirmation — pass FORCE=1 to skip. The next make setup or app launch reinstalls everything. ⚠️ This deletes your conversations and saved keys.

Working on feature branches (submodules)

This repo is a superproject that pins each module (frontend, backend/core_api, backend/core_agent, backend/data-vault) to a commit. To work on module branches without polluting git status or fighting over pins:

1. Pick your branches in a gitignored dev.env (copy the template):

cp dev.env.example dev.env      # then set REF=feat/my-thing (or per-module API_REF=…)

2. make follows it — one knob, both run paths:

Submodules are configured with ignore = all, so your branch work never shows up as superproject changes — the parent git status stays clean. Pins move only via make pin. See CLAUDE.md for the full workflow.

Deploy anywhere

MindsHub is built for flexible deployment — cloud, VPC, on-prem, air-gapped, and hybrid infrastructure — so you keep full control over your infrastructure, models, permissions, and data.
