Your Bittensor workflow starts here.
Meet your personal agent for Bittensor. Explore its tools, choose your workspace, and manage your account.
Open the Minerva mainboard →One agent,
wherever you work
One local engine. Shared profiles, skills and stored conversations. Continue a conversation in one interface at a time.
Editor
An extension for VS Code and Cursor: chat beside your code, edits reviewed as real diffs, every changed file listed to open or undo.
Desktop
A Tauri companion for your machine: discover the installed engine, keep a conversation open, and reach your local dashboard.
Dashboard
Run minerva dashboard for a local control room: conversations, profiles, skills, MCP servers, scheduled jobs, and engine updates.
Reads the chain. Asks before it signs.
Ask which subnets pay the most, who holds the validator permits on subnet 5, or what a coldkey is staked in, and it answers from live chain data. When the work needs a transaction, it proposes the btcli command and waits for you, every time.

It gets better at your work, not just at work
A skill is a procedure written down once the agent has worked something out: how you register a miner, how your validator is checked, how your project runs its tests. It ships with skills for miners, validators and subnet owners, reaches for them instead of rediscovering the steps, and revises them as it goes.

Your keys. Your files. Your hardware.
Minerva runs on the computer in front of you, with a key from the provider you already use. File changes can arrive as diffs you approve one at a time, and a new device connects with a short code you confirm in the browser, never your password.
See the providersUp and running in three steps
From nothing installed to a first task done, in a few minutes.
Install
One command installs the agent and everything it needs.
Pick a model
Choose a hosted provider or a local model; the setup walks you through it.
Ask it something
Start a session and ask about a subnet, check a miner, or hand it a task.
Questions, answered
The short versions. The documentation has the long ones.
Read the full FAQWhich models can it use?
Hosted models such as Claude, GPT, Gemini, Qwen and DeepSeek, open models served on Bittensor by Chutes (subnet 64), or a local model behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp). It needs at least 64K tokens of context. See the providers.
Does it need my wallet?
Not to read the chain: the Bittensor tools look up public data by address. Anything that signs runs through
btcli on your machine and asks you every time, and it never creates keys or reads your wallet files. How that works.Where do my keys and settings live?
On the machine you run it on: secrets in
~/.minerva/.env, settings in ~/.minerva/config.yaml.Does it run natively on Windows?
Yes, through PowerShell, or inside WSL2 if you prefer. Installation.
How do I connect Telegram or Discord?
Once the terminal works, run
minerva gateway setup and pick the platform. Messaging.Do I need an account?
Not to use the agent. An account signs your terminal, editor and desktop in as you, and each device connects with a short code you approve in the browser.
