:puzzle_piece: Feature Request: External Backup / Export for MindStudio Agents

Category: MindStudio IDE → Agent Management
Requested by: Shay Bar – Partner & Mentor | Systematics Ltd.
Priority: :red_circle: High (Enterprise Reliability & Compliance)

Summary

Enable full external export or backup of MindStudio agents (including workflows, functions, prompts, UI, and configurations) in a structured format (e.g., JSON or ZIP).
This feature is essential for enterprise teams that require off-platform backups and disaster recovery procedures.

Current Situation

MindStudio already includes robust version control within the platform, allowing rollback to previous drafts.
However, all versions are stored exclusively inside the MindStudio environment - meaning if the platform becomes unavailable (even temporarily), organizations have no access to their intellectual property: workflows, custom code, or interfaces.

For enterprise adoption and IT compliance, teams need a secure external backup option.

Problem

Organizations adopting MindStudio for production-grade AI solutions must meet internal audit and compliance requirements:

  • Disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity standards.

  • IP ownership and long-term archival of agent logic and configurations.

  • Offline access to mission-critical agents in case of platform downtime.

Without external backups, these requirements cannot be met.

Proposed Solutions

  1. Export to JSON / ZIP (manual):
    Add a “:puzzle_piece: Export Agent” button that downloads a full structured package including:

    • Workflows (blocks, connections, config)

    • Prompts (system, user, templates)

    • Custom Functions (JS/TS)

    • Custom Interface (React/HTML)

    • Data Source references

    • Metadata + manifest

  2. Scheduled Cloud Backup (automatic):
    Allow linking a secure external storage location (e.g., S3, OneDrive, or GitHub private repo) for automatic daily or weekly exports.

  3. API Endpoint (advanced):
    For enterprise workspaces, expose a /agents/export endpoint for programmatic backups through IT automation tools.

Benefits

  • :white_check_mark: Meets enterprise IT and CISO audit requirements.

  • :white_check_mark: Ensures intellectual property remains accessible even if the platform is down.

  • :white_check_mark: Enables version comparison and off-platform code review.

  • :white_check_mark: Builds confidence for large-scale enterprise adoption.

Example Use Case

“As a corporate partner deploying multiple AI agents for clients,
we must maintain external backups to comply with internal policies and ISO27001.
If MindStudio goes offline, we lose access to our core business assets.
A structured export/backup feature would solve this and enable safe enterprise rollout.”

Hi @Shay,

Thanks for the post and the feature request!

While there isn’t a dedicated button for that right now, you can select all blocks and press Ctrl + C to copy the entire workflow. Then, paste it into a .txt file or directly into a new Agent by pasting the JSON into the Automations canvas.
