About the rebrand

MindsHub MindsDB

MindsHub is the product built by MindsDB. Here is what changed, what kept the MindsDB name, and what existing users need to know.

  1. 2018 → 2022

    MindsDB starts inside the database.

    MindsDB began as a way to run machine-learning models where the data already lived. Teams could create and query models with SQL instead of exporting data into a separate ML stack.

    The name described the architecture: the work happened next to databases such as Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and Snowflake.

  2. 2023 → 2024

    LLMs broaden the data layer.

    Large language models needed more than tables. They also needed documents, messages, JSON, event streams, and other unstructured or semi-structured sources.

    MindsDB added Knowledge Bases, semantic search, and federated queries across those sources. The product had grown beyond what the DB suffix suggested.

  3. 2025

    Agents become a product of their own.

    By 2025, more work was moving from single model calls to agents that plan, use tools, run code, and produce finished files.

    MindsHub Agents provides a workspace for that work. It runs Anton, an open-source agent harness, and adds model routing, a credentials vault, memory, and shareable artifacts.

  4. 2026 — the rebrand

    The product becomes MindsHub.

    The product now covered model access, agents, tools, and data. New users often assumed from the name that MindsDB was a database.

    In 2026, the broader product became MindsHub. MindsDB remains the company. The original open-source query engine remains available on GitHub and is maintained by the community.

FAQ

Questions about the name change.

Did the company change hands or pivot?
No. MindsHub is the product name; MindsDB remains the company behind it. The team and ownership did not change.
Is the MindsDB query engine going away?
The original query engine remains available on GitHub and is maintained by the community. It is not one of the products MindsHub is building today.
Do old mindsdb.com URLs still work?
Yes. Every path on mindsdb.com 301-redirects to the matching path on mindshub.ai. The redirect is in place indefinitely.
What does this change for existing MindsDB users?
Nothing about your existing workloads needs to move. The open-source MindsDB project continues. If you want to delegate whole projects to open-source models and agents, that now lives under the new MindsHub surface.
Why was the old name confusing?
The DB suffix fit the original database-centered product. It became misleading after the product added documents, vector search, model routing, and agent workflows.
