What it is

OpenHuman is an AI agent harness written in Rust, shipped both as a desktop assistant app and as an embeddable library. It compresses large tool outputs before the model reads them, searches tools quickly instead of loading them all, and keeps memory and CPU use low enough to host hundreds of agents on a small server. Individuals can use the desktop app as a local-first personal assistant, while developers call agents from Rust code or run whole fleets from one VPS.
