AI agents
What it does
A shared, auto-learning brain across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents, so a pattern one person's agent worked out on Monday is available to the whole team on Tuesday. The sharing runs through the vendor's cloud, which means your team's working knowledge — internal designs and procedures included — is stored there. Settle scope and confidentiality before switching it on. Apache-2.0.

hivemind FAQ
- Is hivemind free?
- hivemind itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use hivemind?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does hivemind work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use hivemind commercially?
- The licence is Apache-2.0, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
