The short answer
Minds by Animoca Brands gives you three main surfaces: use the web app for a focused browser workspace, email when the job already lives in a thread or document, and Telegram for short mobile exchanges or verified group conversations. Minds now has a browser-based app, so the older "no app" wording is no longer accurate. Telegram availability can vary by account, release and region.
Choose the surface where the task's context is easiest to inspect and the result is easiest to review. The Mind’s role should stay clear across channels.
Is there a Minds web app?
Yes. The current Minds website links to the browser-based app at app.hellominds.ai. You can begin in a browser without installing software.
The current browser app now provides another place to begin and review work. More specific app behaviour can change with the product, so verify the live experience before relying on a particular feature.
Where should you work with your Mind?
| Surface | Best starting use | Working rhythm | Main caution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web app | Starting a task in a focused browser workspace and reviewing it on screen | Interactive browser conversation | Check the current interface before assuming a particular feature or file behaviour |
| Work whose context already sits in a thread, URL or document | Asynchronous, thread-based exchange | Long threads can hide instructions or expose unnecessary recipients and history | |
| Telegram | Short mobile exchanges and documented group use | Message-based exchange | Linking introduces another account and chat context; verify the current setup and participants |
Use the web app for focused setup and review
The web app is the clearest default when a task is new, you are selecting a Mind or you want a dedicated screen for iterative review. It is also useful when the work does not naturally begin in an existing email or Telegram conversation.
A practical first instruction is:
Prepare a meeting brief for Friday. First show me the sections you will use and list the information you still need. Do not contact anyone or change the calendar.
Use the browser to confirm the scope, participants, decision and deadline before adding more material.
Use email when the context is already in a thread
Email fits work built around a conversation, document or URL. Current official guidance describes direct email interaction with a Mind, including natural-language replies and providing a URL or PDF.
Useful jobs include summarising a relevant thread, extracting decisions and owners, drafting a reply for approval or reviewing a document against a specific question. Restate the required output and deadline when the job changes. Before including a Mind, remove recipients, attachments and quoted history that are not needed.
Ask for a draft before any external send. Email makes a result easy to review and forward, but it also makes accidental disclosure easier.
Use Telegram for short exchanges
Public Minds documentation describes Telegram for one-to-one messaging and group use. Treat the current interface as the authority for linking steps, because the flow may change by account, release or region.
Telegram is a practical surface for short prompts, corrections, status checks or a concise update when you are away from a longer document. In a group, confirm who can see the conversation and what information the Mind receives. Return to the web app or email when the output needs detailed reading or source checking.
Keep approval standards consistent
Changing channels should not lower the review standard. Keep consequential actions behind explicit approval, including sending messages, changing bookings, granting access, publishing content, making purchases or deleting information. Share only the context the job needs.
Do not assume that files, pending actions or the latest approved instruction transfer perfectly between surfaces. When you switch channels, name the task and restate the last confirmed fact.
A simple decision rule
- Start in the web app when the task is new or needs careful on-screen review.
- Use email when the source material already lives in a thread or document.
- Use Telegram for a short update or a checked group interaction.
- Return to the web app or email for dense output, source checking and final approval.
