Imagine if operating systems, browsers, or databases had evolved with only closed systems. We wouldn’t have the internet we know today.

AI needs world-class open alternatives to great tech.

In response to this, we’ve been busy building Mindshub. A high quality, open-source AI coworker you can truly make your own. Where we know. Good enough wasn’t an option. You can check it out in

https://github.com/mindsdb/mindshub

Inspect it. Modify it. Extend it. Fork it. Make it uniquely yours. Call it Claudio if you want ;)

Choose any model, open or proprietary. Pick and customize the open-source agent that fits your workflow. Connect your own tools. Keep your data where you want it.

We’d love your feedback.
