Subject: [PATCH] Refresh the README for MindsHub Cowork
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Updates the `minds` README to match the current product and MindsHub branding, and fixes stale links.
### Changes
- **Rebrand to MindsHub Cowork** — new intro, "Get started", "What's inside" (connected data, Model Router, open agents, artifacts) using site copy; voice per the press kit.
- **Download links → the website's**: `downloads.mindsdb.com/mindshub-cowork/...` for macOS `.pkg` / Windows `.exe` (was the stale `…/anton/…` paths).
- **Added the web app / login** → `console.mindshub.ai` as the no-install path.
- **Fixed stale self-references**: clone URL `minds-platform` → `minds`; issues & security now point at `mindsdb/minds` (were `mindsdb/mindsdb`).
- **Community → Discord** (`mindshub.ai/discord`); removed the Slack links and the contributors image.
- **Swapped stale badges** (PyPI / Docker for the old engine) → release, stars, license, Python.
- **UTMs** on `mindshub.ai` links (`utm_medium=repo-readme&utm_campaign=minds-readme`); download binaries and Discord left bare.
- Kept the hero screenshot and the build-from-source / submodule `make` tables.

-# MINDS-COWORK PLATFORM
+
+
+
-Minds Platform is dedicated to building a general-purpose AI designed for knowledge workers — creators, strategists, and operators — and individuals seeking AI systems they can truly control to help them get work done, with full flexibility to extend and deploy anywhere (VPC, on-prem, or cloud).
+**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
-## USE CASES
+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.
-**For every knowledge worker**
-- **Automate** any repetitive multi-step task that involves reading and writing (reports, monitoring, workflows)
-- **Build** internal AI tools/artifacts without engineering and deploy to your team (apps, decks, docs, analyses)
+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
-## GET STARTED
+For every knowledge worker — creators, strategists, and operators:
-### Desktop App:
-Simplest way to use this is the latest build App, available on web or desktop:
+- **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.
-- **web**: Click [here to register/login](https://mindshub.ai) the Minds-cowork app, packaged and ready for you in one click.
+## What's inside
-- **macOS**: Click [here to download](https://downloads.mindsdb.com/anton/mac/anton-latest.pkg) the Minds-cowork for MacOS.
+- **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.
-- **Windows**: Click [here to download](https://downloads.mindsdb.com/anton/windows/anton-latest.exe) the Minds-cowork for Windows.

### 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=…)
```
@@ -105,79 +110,34 @@ cp dev.env.example dev.env # then set REF=feat/my-thing (or per-module API_
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.
