About Minions

Minions Mission Control is a Kanban-style task dashboard designed for users of the Hermes AI Agent. It addresses the challenges of managing multiple, long-running autonomous agent tasks by providing a centralized interface to create, supervise, and review work. Instead of juggling terminal sessions and losing track of agent progress, Minions offers a visual overview of all tasks, categorizing them by status like 'in progress,' 'blocked,' or 'ready for review.' The tool enhances agent autonomy with 'heartbeat check-ins,' where the Hermes agent periodically reports progress, retries stuck tasks, and only requests human intervention when truly necessary. This human-in-the-loop approach ensures that agents propose completions for review, requiring user sign-off before tasks are marked as done. Minions is ideal for Hermes power users, indie founders, and anyone delegating research, operations, writing, or coding tasks to their AI agent, providing visibility and control over complex, delegated workflows. It offers features like live streaming of agent activity, per-task model control, and visibility into scheduled jobs, making it easier to manage and scale AI-driven operations. The product can be run locally with SQLite, ensuring data privacy and no cloud dependency, and is built using React, Vite, and an Express server interacting with the Hermes AI Agent.
