Overview
OpenHuman is a single-process Rust agent harness shipped as a desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux), a terminal app, a headless server and an embeddable Rust crate. It bundles memory recalled with citations, browser and desktop control, MCP and skills, 14 messaging channels, durable workflows, and local or BYOK models. The README reports its own benchmark on ten SWE-bench tasks and claims 500 agents fit on a $10 VPS; it is labelled early beta.
Who it is for: Users wanting a self-run agent app, and Rust developers embedding agents
Strengths
- Embeds as a typed Rust library, no sidecar or daemon needed
- Public benchmark repo; reports 68 MB peak memory and 19.8 s median task time
- Local models (Ollama, LM Studio, MLX) or BYOK across 26 providers
- Approval gate, OS-jail or Docker sandboxing, secrets stored in OS keyring
Weaknesses
- Labelled early beta; README warns of rough edges
- Benchmark is self-run on only ten tasks
- GPL-3.0 license constrains embedding in proprietary products
- 119 OAuth app integrations go through Composio, an external service
What it needs
- GPU optional
- Docker + Compose
- Needs Composio (OAuth integrations), Ollama / LM Studio / MLX (optional local models), Docker (optional sandbox)
- Models: Ollama, LM Studio, MLX, OpenAI-compatible APIs, 26 BYOK providers
