MindsHub Cowork — the unified workspace

**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](https://console.mindshub.ai/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo-readme&utm_campaign=minds-readme)** and sign in. - **macOS.** [Download the desktop app](https://downloads.mindsdb.com/mindshub-cowork/mac/mindshub-cowork-latest.pkg) (`.pkg`). - **Windows.** [Download the desktop app](https://downloads.mindsdb.com/mindshub-cowork/windows/mindshub-cowork-latest.exe) (`.exe`). - **Run it open source.** [Build from source](#build-from-source) — see below. Free to start. Pro adds all frontier models and private artifacts — see [pricing](https://mindshub.ai/pricing?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo-readme&utm_campaign=minds-readme). ## 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** ```bash git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mindsdb/minds.git cd minds ``` **2. Install dependencies** ```bash 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/*/.venv`s) 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): ```bash 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`](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. ## Help & support - **Ask a question** — join the [Discord community](https://mindshub.ai/discord). - **Report a bug** — open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/mindsdb/minds/issues) with reproduction steps. - **Read the docs** — guides, setup, and the API at [docs.mindshub.ai](https://docs.mindshub.ai/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo-readme&utm_campaign=minds-readme). - **Enterprise SLAs or custom deployments** — [contact the team](https://mindshub.ai/contact?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repo-readme&utm_campaign=minds-readme). ## 🤝 Contribute Cowork is open source and contributions are welcome — code, integrations, docs, bug reports, and feature ideas.
