Welcome

OpenHuman is a personal AI assistant that runs natively on desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) and connects your communication platforms, tools, and workflows into a single intelligence layer you control.

OpenHuman is the first open-source AI agent with Big Data capabilities and a personalized subconscious mind. Built on the OpenClaw architecture and licensed under GNU GPL3, OpenHuman is designed to close the gap between what AI models can do and what they actually know about you.

Every AI model in the world, all 200+ of them, shares the same fundamental limitation. They are stateless. You type a prompt, get a response, and the context evaporates. Even the ones with "memory" store a few bullet points. A few bullet points is a sticky note, not intelligence.

OpenHuman solves this with two core innovations:

Neocortex, a human-like memory engine that can accurately work with over 1 billion tokens. Neocortex indexes 10 million tokens in under 10 seconds, costs $1 to index 5 million tokens, and runs on a MacBook Air CPU with zero LLM dependency. Neocortex goes beyond vector databases. It understands time, entities, and relationships, and it models memory the way the human brain does: by compressing, forgetting strategically, and building knowledge graphs.

A personalized subconscious system inspired by the Purkinje cell, a specialized neuron in the human brain responsible for random thoughts and consciousness. OpenHuman's subconscious triggers over 10,000 memory recall loops per day for under $1, producing proactive insights, pattern recognition, and emergent "thoughts" that feed into a self-learning loop.

Together, these systems turn OpenHuman into something fundamentally different from a chatbot. It is an AI agent that consumes large amounts of personal data at low cost, maintains a persistent and evolving understanding of your world, and takes proactive actions on your behalf.

OpenHuman is not AGI. But it is a meaningful architectural step closer to it, with better memory and better orchestration for memory, taking direct inspiration from the human brain.

What OpenHuman does

OpenHuman connects to your communication platforms, tools, and workflows, and compresses that information into structured intelligence any AI can act on.

It compresses context across your connected sources, turning millions of tokens of organizational noise into a structured knowledge graph of entities, relationships, and temporal chains.

It surfaces signals that matter: decisions, action items, risks, sentiment shifts, and buried context you would otherwise miss.

It thinks proactively through its subconscious system, making connections and surfacing insights you did not explicitly ask for, based on patterns across your entire data history.

It preserves privacy by design. Raw data stays on your device. Encryption keys never leave the device. Only compressed metadata and summaries are processed server-side.

Who it's for

OpenHuman is built for people and teams who operate across many conversations and tools, and feel the cost of it.

• Developers and power users in the AI ecosystem, especially those using OpenClaw, CrewAI, and similar agentic frameworks, who need a memory and context layer that actually scales.

• High-volume communicators who miss decisions, context, and follow-ups buried in message noise across multiple platforms.

• Traders and analysts who need fast signal extraction and risk awareness across information channels, both on-chain and off-chain.

• Distributed teams who make decisions in chat but need structured follow-through in external tools.

What OpenHuman does not do

OpenHuman does not claim to be AGI. It does not send messages automatically or impersonate you. It does not store your raw message data long-term. It does not train on your data.

Privacy is a core architectural decision, not a checkbox. The full privacy design is covered in Privacy & Security.

How to think about OpenHuman

Think of it this way: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and every other model are the brain. They are brilliant at reasoning, generation, and analysis. But they are amnesiac. They know nothing about your actual life.

OpenHuman is the memory and the subconscious that makes those brains actually useful. It is the Big Data layer for AI: an always-on context engine that compresses your entire organizational life into intelligence any AI can act on.

Your AI is smart. It just does not know you. OpenHuman fixes that.
