Your thoughts mapped into an interactive Obsidian knowledge graph, while your autonomous AI crew does the heavy lifting 24/7 inside a private Firecracker microVM.
Pour a warm cup of coffee while your agent fleet crawls literature, maps your Obsidian graphs, watches onchain liquidity, and compiles markdown digests in parallel.
Every research query, paper summary, and synthesis is automatically mapped into linked Markdown nodes with bidirectional [[wikilinks]].
The Architecture
Every Mindnook box is a dedicated Linux environment running on Fly.io with native desktop syncing.
Hardware-isolated Firecracker microVM with dedicated 2 CPU cores, 2048 MB RAM, local SSD, and a headless browser for autonomous web navigation.
No lost knowledge in ephemeral chats. Every finding is indexed as native Markdown with [[wikilinks]], ready to export and open inside Obsidian at any moment.
Connect directly to your macOS or Windows native Hermes Desktop app via secure WebSockets. Control your cloud box straight from your desktop dock.
Ideal for ad-hoc deep research, Obsidian note-taking, and interactive PWA & Hermex chat sessions with smart sleep.
Built for scheduled background automations, periodic crons (calendar, email, arXiv patrol), and persistent daemons.
Compare running local AI agent daemons on your laptop vs. an isolated Mindnook Firecracker MicroVM.
