MINERVA · YOUR PERSONAL BITTENSOR AGENT
Your personal agent.
Built for Bittensor.
Explore subnets, understand metagraphs and stake, and get help with your Bittensor workflow. Minerva works on your machine, with your keys, and asks for your approval before btcli signs a transaction.
This documentation describes engine v0.23.2. Get Minerva →
MORE THAN A CHAT WINDOW
A personal agent for your Bittensor workflow.
For miners, validators, subnet owners, and people finding their way around Bittensor. Start with a question. Keep useful workflows as skills. Return with the context you have built.
Explore the Bittensor tools →Your machine. Your keys.

Make useful work repeatable.
Use skills, tools, and scheduled jobs to support your own workflow. Review what runs and which credentials it can use.
