LinkMind: model tool for Hermes Agent

AI middleware for model routing, RAG and OpenAI-compatible APIs, with Hermes Agent sync hooks

What LinkMind does

LinkMind is multimodal AI middleware that sits between business systems, private knowledge, model providers and agent runtimes. One layer covers chat, RAG, OCR, speech recognition and synthesis, image and video workflows, text-to-SQL, embeddings, rerank, MCP access, skills, worker orchestration and OpenAI-compatible APIs. Multi-model routing, failover and orchestration are configured centrally in lagi.yml, and RAG can connect to Chroma, Elasticsearch, Milvus, MySQL, Pinecone and SQLite.

For agent users, the README says the codebase includes runtime sync hooks for OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, DeerFlow and OpenHuman. When one of these frontends already exists locally, you can connect it as an optional integration and keep configuration synchronized rather than rebuilding workflows. LinkMind runs as one unified runtime that can be deployed as a team AI hub on an appliance, server, personal computer or Docker. It also lists Medusa cache acceleration, token statistics, filters and runtime governance for production cost control.
