Minds fit

Already building on Minds? In your answers below, link to any Skills or Tools you’ve published on the Bazaar, showing you’ve already started is the strongest signal we see.

On Minds

Tell us about your actual hands-on time with the Minds platform. Honest answers help us evaluate fit, there's no penalty for being new, we just want to understand where you're at.

If you have an account, enter the email you signed up with. Multiple accounts can be separated by commas. If you haven't registered yet, write “not yet registered”.

Which Minds primitives have you actually used? *

Check every primitive you've personally interacted with: building, configuring, equipping, or integrating. “I read about it” doesn't count. “I'm exploring it now” counts. If you haven't used any yet, check the last option.

Optional. If you have at least one active Mind, paste its ID and describe in 1-2 sentences what it does. Leave blank if you don't have one yet.

Optional but high signal. List each one as: “Listing ID, name, 1-line description”. Include install/usage count if you know it. Leave blank if you don't have any published listings yet.

Optional but very high signal. If you've built any orchestration (Mind-to-Mind delegation, Mind triggering Claude Code, Minds collaborating on a shared workflow), describe it in 2-3 sentences. Leave blank if you haven't done this yet.

Optional but tells us a lot. From your actual usage, what's the one thing that frustrates you most, or that you wish existed? Be specific. Leave blank if you haven't used Minds enough to have an opinion yet.

Execution
Evidence

Strong submissions include a 3-minute pitch video, your deck as a file, and 3 specific claims a third party can verify. Submissions missing any of the required items below are paused for completeness before review.

Record a 3-minute pitch covering: who you are, what you're building, the painful problem it solves, and a quick demo. Upload to YouTube (unlisted), Loom, or Google Drive (public link). YouTube unlisted gives the best AI evaluation. Direct MP4 URLs are also fine.

List 3 specific claims from your application that someone external could verify, with a link where possible. Format each claim on its own line as “Claim: verification URL”. If a claim has no public link yet, still list it and write “no public link” after the dash.

Optional. No effect on your universal evaluation.

Optional. For fallback outreach if email goes silent.

Pitch deck file (PDF or PPTX), required for Minds Review

Every submission goes through Minds Review first. Our agentic evaluation panel reads this file directly and scores it across 6 dimensions before any human sees the submission. Only submissions that clear Minds Review reach our team.

To get the best Minds Review:

  • Use real text, not scanned images of slides
  • Keep slide content dense and specific: concrete numbers, named partners, real traction
  • One main point per slide reads better than a wall of bullets
  • Avoid heavy visual-only slides with no extractable text

File uploads can't be pre-filled from this page. You'll do this one step after clicking Submit below. Your other answers carry over automatically.

if your submission clears Minds Review

Optional. This field is not read by Minds Review (an agentic review process). We evaluate the uploaded file above. The URL only enters the picture if your submission clears Minds Review, at which point our team shares the deck internally and, with your consent, with partners.

A public link makes that sharing one click instead of one upload. Use Google Slides, Notion, Canva, or any URL anyone can open without signing in. Auth-gated links (DocSend, private Drive, password-protected pages) defeat the purpose. Leave blank if you can't make it open.

Ready? Open the form on Google Forms, your answers carry over automatically.

Sign in with a Google account, upload your deck file (PDF or PPTX, read by Minds Review), tick the consent box, and submit. Review the prefilled answers in case anything needs editing first.
