▶ Watch the loop — a ticket in, a reviewed pull request out; the whole loop in 57 seconds.

The AI coding factory you can trust:

• A plan before any code, from the ticket plus what it finds in your repo. When planning fails, the coder is told it is working without one; when the change is judged trivial the plan is skipped without telling the coder, by design — the skip is still stated in the run's event stream.
• An adversarial review. A different model, in a session that never saw the coder's transcript, told to refute "done". You get a pass/fail checklist citing file and line — never a numeric self-score.
• A tamper guard. Deleted tests, new skips, an assertion turned into a tautology — counted mechanically before the review gate runs, then justified against your acceptance criteria or the attempt stops.
• Proof the fix fixed the bug. The tests offered as evidence must fail at the merge base and pass on the new tree — the reproduction gate runs both. Out of the box that binds a Python bug fix; repro_gate.mode: required binds every kind and every change.
• Your tests run, locally and optionally through your CI — and a PR that found no test command says NOT RUN on its face.
• An honest stop. When it cannot finish it stops and says why — a specific question when your answer would unblock it, a structured record when it has simply run out of budget — never an invented plausible diff.

Install

One line (CLI + board)

uv tool install no-human   # or: pipx install no-human — the wheel ships the board
nh init && nh doctor       # token, config, first repo; then prove the install is real

Desktop app

Each release ships a SHA-256 alongside the artifact. Platform notes and the first-run walk-through: docs/quickstart.md.

From source

git clone https://github.com/no-human-ai/no_human.git && cd no_human
uv sync                 # installs the `nh` entry point into .venv
(cd web && npm install && npm run build)   # builds the board (cold first install can take minutes)
uv run nh init          # token, config, first repo (about 2 minutes)
uv run nh doctor        # verify the install is real before relying on it

The web build is not optional if you want the board: a source checkout ships no web/dist, so without it nh start serves the API only and renders no UI. Needs Python 3.12+, uv, git, and Node with npm for the board build.

Product highlights

Stills: the real board on a demo workload.

Run one task

Run nh with no arguments for the shell: your lanes, a live event tail, and an intake you describe a task to in plain English. Every command below still works.

nh                                   # the shell
nh start                             # board + worker on 127.0.0.1:8420
nh task add https://github.com/org/repo/issues/42 --repo ~/git/repo
nh status                            # needs-you / working / waiting / done
nh review <id>                       # the reviewer's evidence checklist
nh diff <id>                         # the diff it wants to ship
nh approve <id>                      # your approval squash-lands the PR (git.approve_identity)
nh reject <id> --reason "..."        # send it back with feedback

Integrations

Point no_human at the tracker you already use and it pulls the tickets to your board — a tracker's filter lives in your config, never in a task's own text, and a transport error logs and retries on the next tick instead of crashing the pool.
