App Surfaces
MindMux is a desktop app with several distinct product surfaces that work together rather than collapsing everything into a single chat pane.
Left-side navigation
The left side of the app is the primary navigation and project context area. In the current product shape it is responsible for moving between sessions, knowledge views, and related project surfaces.
Center surface
The center surface is where the active mode of work happens. Depending on state, it can host:
- the chat session
- knowledge content
- settings or configuration flows
- task-related detail views
Right-side operational panel
The right side is used for execution-adjacent state, especially tasks. This keeps operational follow-through visible without displacing the main discussion surface.
Pages and document views
MindMux includes dedicated knowledge views for browsing pages, previewing content, and navigating the evolving project brain.
Settings, connectors, and skills
The app also includes explicit surfaces for runtime setup, connectors, skills, and experimental capabilities. These are not hidden implementation details; they are part of how the product teaches users to work with the system.
Why the UI is structured this way
The underlying model is not "one chat window plus settings". The product needs to support:
- durable knowledge
- multiple sessions
- inbound demand
- outbound execution
- system configuration
The surface area reflects that broader operating model.
