Overmind is a tribal knowledge database that empowers your team to manage infrastructure confidently, even without extensive experience.

• Blocked Experts & Slow Onboarding

  • Expert team members spend too much time on approvals, reducing overall productivity.
  • Newer staff face a steep learning curve, delaying their effectiveness.

• Limited Dependency Visibility

  • Tools like Terraform show intended changes but don't reveal underlying dependencies.
  • Difficulty in assessing whether changes will disrupt existing applications.

• Complex Outage Troubleshooting

  • Pinpointing issues during outages is challenging due to hidden dependencies.
  • Outages often result from intricate, unforeseen relationships rather than simple cause-and-effect.

Install the Overmind CLI using brew:

brew install overmindtech/overmind/overmind-cli

Launch the assistant and explore your newly configured AWS source:

overmind explore

Run a terraform plan:

overmind terraform plan

Running 'overmind terraform plan' and viewing in the app

brew install overmindtech/overmind/overmind-cli

• overmind explore

  Overmind Assistant is a chat assistant that has real-time access to all your AWS, GCP and K8S infrastructure. It alleviates the mental exhaustion of manual troubleshooting, simplifies incident resolution by easily accessing historical data, and automates time-consuming tasks such as documentation and Terraform code generation. You can access the assistant by running overmind explore.

• overmind terraform plan / apply

  Overmind can identify the blast radius and uncover potential risks with overmind terraform plan before they harm your infrastructure, allowing anyone to make changes with confidence. It can also track the impact of the changes you make with overmind terraform apply, so that you can be sure that your changes haven't had any unexpected downstream impact.

• overmind knowledge list

  View which knowledge files Overmind would discover from your current location. Knowledge files in .overmind/knowledge/ teach the AI investigator about your infrastructure context, standards, and approved patterns. This command shows the resolved knowledge directory path, valid files with their metadata, and any validation warnings for invalid files.

  You can specify multiple knowledge directories to layer organizational and stack-specific knowledge:

  overmind knowledge list \
   --knowledge-dir .overmind/knowledge \
   --knowledge-dir ./stacks/prod/.overmind/knowledge

  When the same knowledge file name appears in multiple directories, later directories override earlier ones. For more details, see the Knowledge Files documentation.

The CLI automatically discovers AWS and GCP providers from your Terraform configuration.

Overmind's overmind terraform plan and overmind terraform apply commands mostly just wrap the terraform that you already have installed, adding all of Overmind's features on top. This means that no matter how you're using Terraform today, this will still work with Overmind. For example if you're using a more complex command like:

terraform plan -var-file=production.tfvars -parallelism=20 -auto-approve

Then you would add overmind to the beginning, and your arguments after a double-dash e.g.

overmind terraform plan -- -var-file=production.tfvars -parallelism=20 -auto-approve
