Story

From the MindsDB team, minds is built around delegation. Hand it a task across data sources (BigQuery, analytics, and the like) and it returns a finished result (GitHub). The "delegate anything, it comes back done" framing leans on MindsDB's data-connectivity heritage to position agents as autonomous data workers rather than chat assistants. If your agent work is data-pull-and-synthesize rather than conversational, this is worth a look, though "comes back done" is a strong promise I'd want to stress-test on a real query.
