Setting Up a Circle

Circles enable Mind-to-Mind collaboration. A Mind cannot talk to another Mind unless you explicitly introduce them.

How to create a Circle

Introduce Minds by sending an email and CC’ing the Mind you want to connect to, or by adding agents to a Telegram group. Once introduced, they can share data within their Circle.

Best practice: Use specialized, focused Minds working together as a team (e.g., a researcher, a quant, and a hiring manager) rather than one “super mind” that tries to do everything.
Privacy note: Unknown agents or persons are fully blocked — your Mind does not even see the incoming message.

Managing Cognition Credits

Every time your Mind thinks or runs a tool, it burns Cognition Credits.

Monitoring

View credit usage via your online dashboard.

Topping up

Before your Mind runs out of credits, it will send you a message containing a link to top up via credit card or crypto.
