Superhuman - Personal AI Assistant

Superhuman is a personal AI assistant you run on your own devices. One Gateway gives you the same assistant across chat apps, the web dashboard, and paired devices.

It is built for people who want an assistant they control: self-hosted, multi-device, and available from the tools they already use.

From source

Prefer pnpm for builds from source. Bun is optional for running TypeScript directly.

git clone https://github.com/LPFchan/Superhuman.git
cd Superhuman

pnpm install
pnpm ui:build
pnpm build

pnpm superhuman onboard --install-daemon
pnpm gateway:watch

pnpm superhuman ... runs TypeScript directly via tsx. pnpm build produces dist/ for Node and the packaged superhuman binary.

Security notes

Superhuman can connect to real messaging surfaces and run tools on your machine. Treat inbound DMs as untrusted input.

• DM pairing is the default for supported messaging channels.
• Approve new senders with superhuman pairing approve <channel> <code>.
• For safer multi-user setups, set agents.defaults.sandbox.mode: "non-main" so non-main sessions run inside per-session sandboxes.
• Run superhuman doctor after upgrades or config changes.
