What is OpenHuman?
OpenHuman is an open-source agentic assistant designed to integrate with you in your daily life. Each bullet links to the deeper writeup in the docs.
-
Simple, UI-first — A clean desktop experience and short onboarding paths so you can go from install to a working agent in a few clicks, without a config-first setup. No terminal required.
-
One subscription, many providers — One account gets you access to many agentic APIs (AI models, search, webhooks/tunnels, third-party APIs).
-
118+ third-party integrations — Plug into Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Calendar, Drive, Linear, Jira and the rest of your stack with one-click OAuth. Every connection is exposed to the agent as a typed tool.
-
Memory Tree + Obsidian Wiki — A local-first knowledge base built from your data and your activity. Everything you connect is canonicalized into ≤3k-token Markdown chunks, scored, and folded into hierarchical summary trees stored in SQLite on your machine. The same chunks land as
.mdfiles in an Obsidian-compatible vault you can open, browse and edit — inspired by Karpathy's obsidian-wiki workflow. -
Auto-fetch from your stack — Every five minutes the core walks each active connection and pulls fresh data into the memory tree. No prompts, no polling loops you have to write — the agent already has tomorrow's context this morning.
-
Smart token compression (TokenJuice) — Verbose tool output (git, npm, cargo, docker, large emails) is compacted by a rule overlay before it ever enters LLM context. Sweeping through thousands of emails stays cheap because the model never sees the noise.
-
Automatic model routing — Tasks pick their model.
hint:reasoninglands on a strong reasoning model,hint:faston a fast one, vision goes to a vision model — all under one subscription, with zero per-provider key juggling. -
Native voice (ElevenLabs) — STT in, ElevenLabs TTS out, with mascot lip-sync. Includes a live Google Meet agent that listens, takes notes and can speak back in your meetings.
-
Native search, scraper and coder — Built-in web search, web-fetch scraper, and a full filesystem / git / lint / test / grep toolset wired into the agent out of the box. No "install a plugin to read files" friction.
-
Optional local AI (via Ollama) — Off by default. Opt in per-workload to keep memory embeddings, summary-tree building, and background reflection loops on your machine. Chat / vision / voice stay cloud — the local path is scoped to the workloads where on-device actually pays.
-
Messaging channels, teams & orgs, privacy & security — Inbound/outbound across the channels you already use, shared workspaces for collaborating with an agent across a team, and workflow data that stays on device, encrypted locally, treated as yours.

OpenHuman vs Other Agent Harnesses
High-level comparison (products evolve—verify against each vendor). OpenHuman is built to minimize vendor sprawl, keep workflow knowledge on-device, and give the agent a persistent memory of your data — not only chat.
