OpenHuman
Private desktop AI agent with 1B-token memory and 118+ integrations
The Panel's Take
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.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
