About

W&B HiveMind

Features
Read full description

W&B Hivemind is the companion app for Hivemind, Weights & Biases' platform for coding agents. Sign in with GitHub to follow your coding sessions and work with cloud agents from your iPhone or iPad. When your workspace has Agents enabled, start a cloud coding agent, choose its model and environment, and watch its work stream live. Send follow-up instructions, stop a running task, and return to agents that need your input. Open detected web ports from a running agent to preview its work. The Activity tab turns your agent work into daily rings: active agent time, conversation turns, and merged PRs fill toward goals you set, with week-over-week comparisons and streaks. The Sessions tab shows coding sessions from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and more, with token counts, diff stats, and live indicators. Open a session to read its conversation, tool calls, and file changes. Hivemind requires an account on a Hivemind server hosted by W&B or your organization. Live Agents access is currently limited to internal W&B employees and requires an enabled workspace and a configured environment. A built-in preview mode lets you explore sample sessions and simulated agent interactions without an account.
