MindsHub Cowork

The unified workspace where open-source agents get work done for you.

Delegate anything. It comes back done.

Website · Docs · Web app · Pricing · Discord

MindsHub Cowork is the unified workspace where you delegate entire tasks — research, analysis, reporting, scheduled operations — and collect finished, shareable results. Connect your data, route each step to the right model, run open-source agents, and turn their output into artifacts 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

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).
• Run it open source. Build from source — see below.

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

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)

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

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.
