Mindalike

Your team and your agents, on one live Canvas.

Mindalike: a multiplayer AI workspace for teams and agents.

Anyone can watch an agent work, redirect it, or take over. When the work needs a skill nobody has, one action brings in the right person.

Md Murtuza Ali and Mirza Anwaarullah Baig, co-founders

Pre-seed. Hyderabad, India. Paid beta opens late November 2026.

Mindalike

Working with AI is still single-player.

  • Builders ship with AI agents, but each person works in a private chat only they can see.
  • To share the work, you send a transcript. Nobody else can watch the agent, redirect it, or take over.
  • When the work needs a skill nobody on the team has, it stops. You look on Discord or through friends, explain the goal again, and lose them when the task ends.

Agent tools make one person faster. Marketplaces start from profiles, outside the work. Neither makes the work shared.

Mindalike

Agents now run work for hours. That work was never meant to be done alone.

  • 180M+ developers on GitHub; one more joins every second.
  • Lovable passed $600M in annualised revenue.
  • OpenAI made workspace agents generally available and launched ChatGPT Space for teams and agents.

Shared AI work is becoming expected. The winner lets anyone step in with real tools, and brings in the right person when the team lacks a skill.

Mindalike

One live Canvas for your team and its agents.

Mindalike is a desktop workspace where people and agents work together. Anyone in a session can watch an agent work, redirect it, or take over and hand it back.

Every artifact has real tools for editing by hand: an IDE for code, plus editors for design files, docs, legal documents and sales workflows. Agents get browsers, containers and scheduled automations.

The Fieldnote Canvas in the Mindalike desktop app. A banner says Ana joined, with edit access on 2 artifacts until Monday 26 October. The Design agent and the Code agent work on the landing page. The right panel lists the agents on this Canvas, and the title bar shows the people and agents present, with the Bring another mind button.
Screen from our Figma design, with example names. The features shown are built in the app. Windows and Linux at launch in November 2026, macOS later.
Mindalike

When the team lacks a skill, one action brings in the right person.

Invite a teammate or a specific person by name. Or “Bring another mind” matches someone from outside the team to the exact task, and explains why they fit. If they’re offline, Mindalike schedules a session.

They get access only to the artifacts and the time you choose.

The Another mind for this Canvas panel, matched to the task “ship the pricing page”. It lists what matters for the match, then the first of three matches, Ana Ribeiro, a product designer, with the reasons she fits and a button to invite her to connect.
Screen from our Figma design, with example names. Matching, invites by name, scoped access and scheduling are built in the app.
Mindalike

You decide what a person can open,
and what an agent may do.

  • A match sees nothing from your Canvas until you invite them.
  • Access covers only the artifacts you pick, for one session, 7 days or until you revoke it.
  • Agents run in isolated environments, ask before risky actions and stop at a budget.
  • Adults only. Calls are never recorded, and no one is given a score.
  • Your work is stored in the EU, and by contract model providers may not train on it.
The invite panel for Ana: Edit selected is chosen, two artifacts are ticked, Pricing and Hero copy, and the access lasts 7 days.
Built in the app: scoped invites, isolated agents, approvals and budgets. Screen from our Figma design.
Mindalike

Agent tools are single-player. Marketplaces start outside the work. Mindalike is multiplayer, from inside it.

What builders do todayThe gap
Ask on Discord or through friendsFree, but the work stops while you look.
Freelance marketplaces: Upwork, ContraThey start from profiles, outside the work.
Co-founder and talent matching: LinkedIn and othersProfiles, not tasks.
Agent tools: Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPTThey make one person faster, but can’t add a missing skill.
Shared AI workspaces: ChatGPT Space, Replit, DustTeams share agents inside one product, but nobody from outside is matched to the task with scoped, time-limited access.

Mindalike

Three ways the first users arrive.

  • First, gitring’s developers. They already run coding agents, and gitring reaches them before Mindalike launches.
  • Then builder communities and our social launches, when Mindalike opens in late November 2026.
  • Then each kept relationship brings the next person. People invite the people they built with.

Before launch: 219 builders on the Mindalike waitlist, all organic. No users and no revenue yet.

Distribution plan: founders, 28 October 2026. Waitlist: founders, 31 October 2026.
Mindalike

The other minds are builders too.

Anyone who joins Mindalike can be matched to someone else’s task.

  • The first are the 219 builders on our waitlist and gitring’s developers. They already build with agents, and they bring different skills.
  • Match hours put people online at the same time, so a random match has someone to meet.
  • Or invite a specific person by name.
  • For a task, the relevant match looks for the skill you lack. The invite waits until they answer, so nobody has to be online.
  • Each person you keep stays in your network, so the next task can go to someone you already built with.
  • Later, requests that wait for the right person.
From our product decisions, October 2026. All built in the app except the last line, which comes later. Waitlist: founders, 31 October 2026.
Mindalike

Small software teams that build with agents every day are a $1.2B to $2B a year seat market.

  • 68% of 20.8M to 36.5M professional developers use AI coding agents daily = 14.1M to 24.8M.
  • × 27.3% who work alone or in companies under 20 = 3.9M to 6.8M seats.
  • × $300 a seat a year ($25 a month) = $1.2B to $2.0B a year. This is our serviceable market.
  • Our goal in three years is 33,500 seats, $10M a year, under 1% of it. Developers already pay: GitHub Copilot alone had over 4.7M paid subscribers in January 2026.
Seat fees only; usage, custom prices for larger teams and larger companies are not counted. Developers: JetBrains and SlashData, 2025. Daily use: JetBrains, August 2026. Team size: Stack Overflow, October 2026. Copilot: Microsoft, 28 January 2026. We launch on Windows and Linux; macOS comes later. The goal is ours.
Mindalike

We start with small software teams, then larger companies.

  • Teams of 2 to 5 who build with agents every day and need to share the work.
  • Builders who need one skill for one task: a designer for three days, or a review of your architecture.
  • Next, larger companies: more teams, and outsiders let in for an exact scope and time.
  • Code, design, docs, legal and sales tools first. We add more as we onboard teams.
Audience groups from mind-alike.com; team size from our product point of view, October 2026.
Mindalike

Paid from launch.
Teams pay per seat, plus usage.

Per seat, from November 2026

The public beta is paid from the first day. We plan $25 per seat a month. Larger teams get custom prices.

Manual editing stays free.

On our cost model, we break even at about 100 paying teams of about 4 people.

Plus usage

Usage is added on top of the seats, and we measure it from the first day.

Budgets cap the spend.

Meeting a new person at match hours stays free, so the network keeps growing.

Paid launch, planned price, custom prices for larger teams and break-even: founders’ plan and cost model, 28 October 2026. Seats, usage and free items: our requirements, October 2026.
Mindalike

Mindalike’s paid public beta opens in late November 2026.

  • November 2026: gitring launches publicly in the first week. Late in the month, Mindalike’s public beta opens on Windows and Linux to anyone who signs up. Our target is about 300 teams in its first two weeks.
  • December 2026: we collect feedback from users. By the second week, we decide if we also ship a web version.
  • January 2027: our target is 500+ teams.
  • February 2027: with that traction, we raise a round. If we don’t, we stay two people, serve the teams we have and let the seat revenue grow.

We onboard teams steadily. Random matches run at set times, so people are online together.

Plan and targets: founders’ plan, 28 October 2026. Pre-launch: 219 builders on the waitlist, all organic (founders, 31 October 2026).
Mindalike

The thesis holds only if people work together on one Canvas.

  • At least 20% of live matches lead to a kept contact or a scoped invite within 7 days.
  • At least 50% of active Canvases have 2+ people working in a week.
  • At least 35% of new teams are still active in week 4.
  • The median wait for a match is a minute or less, inside match hours.
Match targets: our requirements, October 2026, set before the build. We have no data against them yet.
Mindalike

Two technical founders who have built together since 11th grade.

Md Murtuza Ali, Co-founder and CEO

Owns product and the company: what we build next, design and UX, and the loop with users. Built Mindalike’s real-time collaboration layer: WebRTC voice and video, a shared code editor, multi-tenant Postgres. Shipped 5+ products before, including a live ordering system at a café in Hyderabad, BurryAI (a student finance app on Cloudflare Workers) and Healthcare.AI (IEEE paper, ICoECIT 2026). B.Tech CSE, VJIT, 2026.

Mirza Anwaarullah Baig, Co-founder and CTO

Builds the product end to end. Built gitring. 2025 hackathon prizes: Polygon track winner at ETHGlobal Taipei (2,000+ hackers). 1st in the Speedrun Ethereum track at Blocktrain, leading a team with engineers from CoinDCX and Stan. 2nd in DeFi trading at the Build on Aptos Hackathon, with the CoinDCX engineer. Both with BlazeIt, a swipe-to-trade DeFi app. B.E. CS, MJCET, 2026.

Together

Prizes together: Hackomania 2023 (1st of 99 teams), Datanyx Datathon 2024 (2nd in the fintech track) and TechXcelerate 2024 (1st place). Programmes: Zerobase Season 4 (online) and Google for Startups × Antler Immersion 2026. Captain and vice-captain of a cricket team that won an inter-college league. Both technical, so either can ship alone.

Founders’ records, 31 October 2026. Founded August 2024. Both full-time since August 2026. No other team members or advisors.
Mindalike

Both products came from problems we hit ourselves.

We build with coding agents every day.

  • August 2024: we started a social network for meeting people, with profiles and live matching. People met, but nothing came of it, so we dropped it.
  • Late 2025: we moved to building together with AI agents. That led to today’s shared Canvas.
  • Our own agents kept colliding in one repo, so we built gitring.
  • Today we work full-time from Hyderabad. Where we base the company next, we want to decide with our investors.
Founders’ records, 31 October 2026.
Mindalike

gitring, our first product, is how the first users arrive.

  • Many coding agents work in one repo without collisions. Most tools fix merge conflicts after they happen. gitring prevents them.
  • After planning and before editing, each agent makes a declare_intent MCP call. gitring schedules the work so no two agents head toward conflicting changes.
  • It reaches developers who run several agents: Mindalike’s target users.
A gitring plan review: an agent’s plan to move order routes to the v2 router waits for a person, with Approve plan, Request a change and Reject plan, the note that no code is written until a person approves the plan, and the three reasons it waits.

Public launch in the first week of November 2026, at gitring.tech. Closed source. Cloudflare’s team saw it and asked us to keep building and send updates.

One clean structure before the round.

  • No outside investment so far.
  • Mindalike Technologies Pvt Ltd was incorporated in India in June 2025 through our college incubator. The incubator took 5% equity without investing.
  • The company is dormant: no bank account, revenue or contracts. The founders hold 47.5% each.
  • We will dissolve it, and form a new company with this round at first close.
Founders’ records, 31 October 2026.
Mindalike

We are raising $250K up to $300K, our first pre-seed round.

We plan to raise again in early 2027, on traction. If that round does not happen, this one lasts 24 months.

Use of funds, approximately

Founders’ salaries and running costs: 67%, about $7K to $8.4K a month for 24 months.

The launch and onboarding users: 13%.

Forming the new company at first close: 3%.

Buffer: 17%.

By February 2027

Our target is 500+ teams by January 2027. At our planned $25 per seat and about 4 seats a team, 500 teams is about $50K a month in seats, before usage.

With that traction, we raise our next round. If we don’t, we stay two people, serve the teams we have and let the seat revenue grow.

We are NVIDIA Inception members, approved for Capital Connect, which puts us in front of NVIDIA’s venture capital network.

Round, use of funds and runway: founders, 17 October 2026, confirmed 1 November 2026. Targets and planned price: founders’ plan, 28 October 2026.
Mindalike

Mindalike is the first step toward a House of Wisdom.

Baghdad’s House of Wisdom was a library in an age when knowledge grew by passing through many hands. We want a place where diverse people meet, learn and build.

  • First, Mindalike online, where people meet inside the work.
  • Next, after Mindalike’s launch, gitring at the core of every Canvas, so many minds and their agents can build one thing without conflicts.
  • Later, perhaps, a place in Hyderabad.
  • And a pop-up that moves from city to city.
A long-term aim, not a product claim.
