Early beta. OpenHuman is under active development, so expect rough edges.
Install
The easiest way is to download the desktop app from tinyhumans.ai/openhuman or the latest release. There is a .dmg for macOS, an .msi or .exe for Windows, and a .deb or .AppImage for Linux.
Prefer the terminal? The install script picks the right package for your system, checks its checksum and installs it:
# macOS and Linux
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex
To preview what the macOS and Linux script would do, end the command with bash -s -- --dry-run. Other options and troubleshooting are in INSTALL.md.
Why OpenHuman?
Most agent harnesses run one heavy process per agent and resend a big prompt on every call. OpenHuman does the same work with far less. It is the only feature-rich open-source harness built for large fleets of agents: 500 of them fit on a $10 server.
Major innovations
Most agent harnesses are a simple loop: send everything to the model, wait, repeat. That works for one agent, but it gets slow and expensive quickly, and it falls apart when you run hundreds.
OpenHuman rethinks the parts that cost the most: how much text the AI has to read, how it finds the right tool, how features load, and how much machine the whole thing needs. The six ideas below are where the speed and savings above come from. Each card links to the docs if you want the details.
