The Lens

By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.

Updated Oct 2026

OpenHuman is a desktop AI agent that connects to more than a hundred services, pulls your data in on a schedule, and builds a memory it can act on, with web search, voice, code execution and a talking desktop mascot built in. It's repositioning as an agent harness with a Rust core. The app is GPL-3.0; the managed services behind it are not.

Install is native: Homebrew cask, .dmg, .msi, .deb or AppImage, no Docker. By default you sign in and use the TinyHumans managed route for models, search and integrations. Bring-your-own keys for 26 providers and local models through Ollama, LM Studio or MLX are options, and a local-only privacy mode keeps inference on the device. Integrations run through TinyHumans' backend via Composio by default.

It was never fully free. TinyHumans sells credit plans: Basic $20 a month or $200 a year with $21 of credits, Pro $200 a month or $2,000 a year with $210, and pay-as-you-go top-ups from $5, all non-refundable. Solo users running local models can avoid paying. Everyone on the default managed route is buying credits.

The catch: the local-memory pitch is going away. The development branch replaces the on-disk Markdown memory and Obsidian vault with CortexDB, hosted by TinyHumans or self-hosted by you; with neither, memory is off. It's also an early beta with hundreds of open issues.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid

freemium

Free: The GPL-3.0 desktop app. Free to run with your own API keys or local models (Ollama, LM Studio, MLX).

Self-hosted: Native desktop installers for macOS, Windows and Linux. The hosted pieces (CortexDB memory, the integration proxy, billing) are not in the repo. Upcoming memory changes require either TinyHumans' hosted CortexDB or your own CortexDB endpoint.

Paid (TinyHumans credits, USD): Basic $20/month or $200/year, $21 of credits a month. Pro $200/month or $2,000/year, $210 of credits a month. Enterprise custom. Pay as you go from $5. All sales are final. The managed route covers LLM inference, search, embeddings, media generation, integrations and voice.

Free app if you bring keys or run local models. The default managed route bills TinyHumans credits from $20 a month.
