What is OpenHuman?

OpenHuman is an open-source agentic assistant that is designed to integrate with you in your daily life. Here's what makes OpenHuman special:

• 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. You don't need a terminal to run OpenHuman.

• One subscription, many providers — You only need one account to get access to many agentic APIs (AI Models, Search, Webhooks/Tunnels and other 3rd party APIs etc..), simplifying the experience to get a powerful agent going.

• Rich Skills — Plug into Gmail, Slack, Notion, and the rest of your stack via rich, feature-backed skills. Connections are typically one click through setup wizards instead of wiring APIs by hand. Workflow data is kept on device, encrypted locally, and treated as yours: encryption and sensitive context stay on your machine. Webhooks give instant feedback into the agent when external systems or skills emit events, so the loop stays tight without constant polling.

• Local knowledge base — Built from your data and your activity. How you work across tools, sessions, and connected services—so the agent gets rich, workflow-aware context, not a one-off chat transcript. Everything is stored on your machine and compounding over time without becoming a cloud dossier. Channels, skills and ongoing conversations feed the same loop so day-to-day context does not reset every session.

• Local AI model — The Rust core exposes local AI paths (and the desktop bundle can ship local/bundled runners where applicable) for the workloads above—vision snippets, speech helpers, summarization, tooling—so sensitive steps can stay off the cloud when you choose.

• Deep desktop integrations — OpenHuman is a native desktop assistant, not a web-only chat: memory-aware keyboard autocomplete, voice (STT listening and TTS replies), screen intelligence that understands what is on screen and feeds your local context, plus windowing and OS-level permissions—so the agent meets you on the machine, not trapped in a browser tab.

Highlights

• Neocortex — local-first knowledge base that learns from your data and activity, compounding context across tools and sessions.
• The Subconscious — background self-learning loops that turn everyday usage into workflow-aware intelligence.
• Screen Intelligence — the agent sees what's on your screen and feeds it into your local context.
• Inline Autocomplete — memory-aware keyboard autocomplete anywhere on your desktop.
• Voice (STT + TTS) — speak to OpenHuman and hear it reply, natively on the desktop.
• Skills & Integrations — one-click skills for Gmail, Slack, Notion and the rest of your stack, with local encryption and webhooks for instant feedback.
• Messaging Channels — inbound/outbound across the channels you already use, routed through your agent.
• Teams & Organizations — shared workspaces for collaborating with an agent across a team.
• Rewards & Achievements — gamified progression as your agent grows with you.
• Privacy & Security — workflow data stays on device, encrypted locally, and treated as yours.

OpenHuman vs other agents

High-level comparison (products evolve—verify against each vendor). OpenHuman is built to minimize vendor sprawl, keep workflow knowledge on-device, and ship deep desktop features—not only chat.
