AI agent harness with local-first memory, agent orchestration, and workflows.

OpenHuman is an agent harness offered as a desktop application and an embeddable Rust library. It combines memory retrieval with tools for browser and computer interaction, assembling relevant context for an agent within a token budget. Modular tool capabilities can load as needed, while large tool outputs can be retained behind searchable references instead of repeatedly entering the conversation.
