To install or get started, either download from the website over at [tinyhumans.ai/openhuman](https://tinyhumans.ai/openhuman) or run ``` # For MacOS/Linux curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/main/scripts/install.sh | bash # For Windows irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex ``` # 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.

Running from source: [`docs/install.md`](docs/install.md#running-from-source). ## 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. | | Claude Code/Cowork | OpenClaw | Hermes Agent | OpenHuman | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Open-source**: Is the codebase open to review? | 🚫 Proprietary client | ✅ MIT License | ✅ MIT License | ✅ GNU License | | **Simple**: Is it simple to get started? | ✅ Simple Desktop App + CLI | ⚠️ Terminal first and often complex | ⚠️ Terminal first and often complex | ✅ Simple, Clean UI/UX.
