# Guides

- [Guides](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides.md): Outcome-driven, step-by-step guides for getting a real result out of OpenHuman: set up an assistant, run a local model, protect sensitive data, recover a broken install, or move to a new machine.
- [Create my personal AI assistant](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides/personal-assistant.md): Go from a fresh install to a working personal assistant that knows your context, respects your boundaries, and acts only with your approval.
- [Use OpenHuman with a local model](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides/local-model.md): Run OpenHuman's inference on your own machine with Ollama: detection, model selection, a real test, and every way it commonly breaks with the fix.
- [Keep sensitive data private](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides/privacy-sensitive-data.md): A plain-language map of what OpenHuman keeps on your computer versus what it sends out, and the settings that let you keep sensitive work local.
- [Recover from a failed installation](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides/recover-failed-installation.md): Get a broken or half-installed OpenHuman running again without losing your memory, personas, or settings. Configuration is preserved by default.
- [Move OpenHuman to a new PC](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides/move-to-new-pc.md): Carry your OpenHuman persona, memory, workspace, and model/provider config to a new computer, and understand which secrets travel and which you re-enter.
- [Connect OpenHuman to Obsidian](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides/connect-obsidian.md): Open OpenHuman's memory as an Obsidian vault so you can read, edit, and link the agent's notes by hand, and have it pick up your edits.
- [Organize my project folders](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides/organize-project-folders.md): Let OpenHuman tidy, rename, and restructure a folder of files safely, inside a boundary you set, with every change gated by your approval.
- [Create a doctor-specific assistant](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides/doctor-assistant.md): Shape OpenHuman into a role-specific assistant for clinical work: persona, tight data boundaries, and the limits you must keep in mind.
- [Create a safe companion for a child](https://tinyhumans.gitbook.io/openhuman/guides/guides/child-safe-companion.md): Compose OpenHuman's autonomy, approval, and content-screening controls into a locked-down assistant for a child, with an honest account of the limits.
