Story

mindsdb/minds is at 39,305 stars, repositioning as general-purpose AI "for knowledge workers, creators, strategists, and operators" who want systems they fully control (GitHub). The emphasis on user control and self-hosting is a deliberate contrast to closed assistant products, and it fits today's whole "own your stack" current. A candidate if you want an owned, customizable knowledge-worker agent instead of renting someone else's black box.
