MindsHub Cowork is the unified workspace where you delegate entire projects — apps, websites, research, analysis, reporting, scheduled operations — and collect finished, shareable results. Connect your data, route work to any model (open or proprietary), run open-source agents, and turn their output into web applications you can publish. It's open source and runs anywhere — your machine, your VPC, or 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.

Get started Copy Chapter

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 Copy Chapter

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 Copy Chapter

- 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 Copy Chapter

1. Clone the repository

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

2. Install dependencies

make setup

3. Run

| Mode | Command |
|---|---|
| Desktop app (Electron) with hot reload | make dev or make watch |
| Web app in browser with hot reload | make dev-web |
| Production build | make build |
| Package for macOS | make dist-mac |
| Package for Windows | make dist-win |
| Build macOS .app from local uncommitted source | make pack-local |
| Wipe all local installs + data (fresh start) | make flush |

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) Copy Section

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:

| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| make use | check out your dev.env refs across all submodules |
| make dev / make watch | run the Electron app with live reload against local source |
| make dev-web | run the web SPA with live reload against local source |
| make server + make app | (re)install the desktop server from the configured branch, then launch |
| make server-local + make app-local | install the desktop server from local uncommitted source, then launch |
| make pack-local | build the macOS .app from local uncommitted source (no push needed) |
| make refs | show which refs the next run will use |
| make baseline | reset submodules to the pinned commits |
| make pin | record the current submodule commits as the superproject's pins (one deliberate commit) |

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 Copy Chapter

Cowork 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.
