OpenHuman is an open-source desktop AI assistant by TinyHumans AI that stores up to 1 billion tokens of personal memory locally — giving it a depth of context about your life that cloud-based assistants simply can't match. It auto-connects to 118+ OAuth integrations (Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Jira, and more), fetching and compressing your data every 20 minutes into a searchable, Obsidian-compatible memory wiki on your own machine. Built in Rust and TypeScript using Tauri, OpenHuman uses Memory Trees inspired by Andrej Karpathy's knowledge management approach — compressing massive amounts of personal data into compact, retrievable Markdown chunks. Its TokenJuice compression reduces LLM token usage by up to 80%, making long-memory operation surprisingly affordable. It supports local inference via Ollama as well as remote model routing. Trending on GitHub with 3,300+ stars after being showcased at GTC AI Demo Day 2026 in San Francisco, OpenHuman features a desktop mascot with voice and facial animations, can join Google Meet calls as an agent participant, and includes a full built-in coder toolset. It's the most ambitious personal AI project to hit GitHub since Open Interpreter.
Reviewer scorecard
“Revolutionary approach to prompt engineering. Optimizers find better prompts than humans can write manually.”
“118 OAuth integrations, 1B-token local memory, and Rust performance in a single open-source desktop app? This is the personal AI substrate I've been waiting to build on top of. The TokenJuice compression alone makes this practical without burning your API budget.”
“Steep learning curve and the abstractions can be confusing. For most apps, good prompt engineering is faster.”
“Giving a single desktop app OAuth access to your Gmail, Slack, Stripe, and 115 other services is a massive attack surface — and GPL-3 means proprietary integrations won't touch it. The 1B-token memory claim is impressive until you realize most people don't generate that much structured personal data in a decade.”
“The idea that prompts should be compiled, not handwritten, is correct. DSPy is ahead of its time.”
“OpenHuman is the first credible open-source answer to the 'personal AI that knows you' vision — and the fact it runs locally with P2P sync potential means it doesn't require trusting a startup with your entire digital life. This architecture is where personal AI is heading.”
“An AI assistant that auto-ingests my Notion, Gmail, and project files and remembers them forever — locally? The Obsidian wiki output means I can actually browse and edit what it knows about me. This is the creative memory layer I didn't know I needed.”
