Frequently Asked Questions

What is noHuman Team?

noHuman Team is a desktop app for macOS and Windows that runs a team of AI agents on your computer. Give a leader a goal, assign responsibilities to specialists and follow their requests, replies, files and recorded activity. Connect your own supported AI subscriptions or API keys. The computer runs the workers; cloud-model requests still need internet access.

What AI providers does noHuman Team support?

noHuman Team includes 20 AI provider integrations across API-key and subscription connections. The setup wizard can connect Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT Plus/Pro, or API keys for Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral and Moonshot. Manage additional supported connections in App settings → AI accounts. Available models depend on your connected account and installed engine.

Read the AI accounts guide.

Where does my data go? Is noHuman Team private?

The desktop stores team files, saved Memory, history and connected AI accounts on your computer. For gateway-managed Claude and ChatGPT connections, workers use a stand-in credential and the local gateway adds authentication for allowed provider hosts. Prompts and selected content go to the AI provider you connect, and connected tools can send content to their services. The app also uses services for license activation, catalog checks, public model discovery and updates. Optional mobile access relays encrypted chat and attachments through Hub; Hub receives account, pairing and delivery metadata. Native workers use your operating-system permissions, not a filesystem sandbox. Native command-line sign-ins and fallback paths can store real credentials in worker files. Read the AI accounts guide for access limits and the privacy policy for each feature.

Read the privacy policy.

Do I need an API key?

You can connect a supported Claude or ChatGPT subscription through the local credential gateway instead of an API key. Use an API key for other providers or pay-per-token access. Your AI provider sets its own charges and usage limits; noHuman Team app access and team-template offers are separate.

Connect an account during setup.

How much does noHuman Team cost?

See Pricing for the early-adopter app subscription and its current amount and billing period. One app license covers your teams on one computer; team-template offers are separate. While the campaign is open, Limited test access provides a free app key for 6 months from activation, claimed by email without a card or payment. Your AI provider bills subscription or model usage separately. Existing keys keep their issued terms.

View early-adopter pricing or get Limited test access.

What happens after the free 6 months?

A Limited test access key lasts 6 months from activation and does not create a paid subscription or automatic renewal. Review the current app subscriptions on Pricing if you want to continue after its term. Your workspace, Memory and configuration remain files on your computer. Existing keys keep their issued terms.

Read the Limited test access terms.

What is the refund policy?

Limited test access has no payment to refund. For paid purchases, consult the Refund Policy and your Paddle receipt; the published policy includes a 14-day money-back guarantee. Canceling subscription renewal stops a future renewal and does not itself request a refund.

Read the Refund Policy.

What team templates are available?

Start with Startup (CEO, Developer, Marketer, Automator), Dev Squad (Tech Lead, Lead Developer, Coder, QA), or Content Factory (Content Director, Writer, Editor, SEO). The team-template catalog offers additional packages with their own access terms. Review models, workspace settings and capabilities before importing a team; an imported team keeps its own local configuration.

Browse team templates.

Can I customize noHuman roles?

Adjust a member's Responsibilities, Reporting line, Personal instructions, Capabilities and Autonomy settings. Non-leader members can also change role using template presets, migration presets or a custom role; the team leader's role stays fixed. A role change restarts the member and can interrupt active work. Saved chat history and Memory are not automatically cleared. An explicit workspace reset deletes that member's workspace contents, so back up before choosing it.

Read the role-change guide.

How does Telegram integration work?

Telegram is an optional connection for sending text and images and following team messages. Each noHuman needs its own BotFather token. Configure the group ID and your founder user ID under Team settings → Telegram to control who can reach the team. Telegram uses its own service and privacy terms.

Connect Telegram.

Can I use noHuman Team from my phone?

The iOS and Android companion is prepared for store release; this site does not yet list public store downloads. On a paired phone, you can chat, send files, review teams and answer founder requests in Attention. You can also change a connected model, manage working context and pause or resume a team. Your computer hosts the agents and must stay running and online. Pair through App settings → Mobile access and compare both devices' security fingerprints. The companion encrypts chat and attachments between phone and computer; Hub relays ciphertext. Push notifications and voice messages are not included in this version.

Read the mobile companion guide.

Can I open files, videos and audio from a chat?

Yes. On desktop, select a file link, uploaded attachment or screenshot to open the right-side viewer without leaving your conversation. Preview supported documents and images, or play browser-compatible video and audio. Download a file to keep it or use another viewer. Private workspace and Memory files stay scoped to the selected noHuman, and shared files to the team. On mobile, use a native viewer, Open with, Save or Share; encrypted file transfers have a 20 MB limit.

Open files on desktop or read the mobile file guide.

Can I search saved conversations?

Yes. Select Search in a conversation's toolbar to open the right-side panel for that noHuman. The member stays fixed. Use the compact search below the Team overview header divider to search all saved chats in the selected team, with no owner selector. Search matches message text and attachment names without regard to letter case. Select a result to open the exact saved message with a bounded portion of nearby history, including messages in available retained archives. Your unsent message, pending attachments and saved reading position stay intact while you search; opening a result moves the chat to that message. Use Try again after a failed search or message load, Search again if saved history changed, and Return to latest for the newest messages. Unavailable or very large history can produce partial results. Open Memory or Library to inspect saved notes and files.

Read the saved chat search guide.

What is coding delegation?

A member can delegate coding work to a supported coding sub-agent when its engine, account and capabilities allow it. The sub-agent can inspect files, run commands and tests, and report results to the parent. Provider usage and permissions still apply. Review code and test results before relying on the output; delegation does not guarantee correct or finished work.

Review capabilities and permissions.

How do noHumans communicate with each other?

Members use a local message bridge to send messages and delegate tasks to teammates by name. Conversations are recorded for review. A delegation can report processing, error, timeout or unreachable; inspect the receipt and target member before repeating an uncertain action.

Read the communication guide.

How does noHuman memory and persistence work?

Each noHuman keeps saved notes and files on your computer, including current notes, work threads, journals, past work, reference notes and reminders. Open Memory from a noHuman's chat to inspect that member, or use Library and its owner filter to inspect the team. Knowledge libraries show library names first; choose one to browse its files. Working context and chat history are separate from saved Memory.

Browse saved Memory.

Can I assign different AI models to different noHumans?

Yes. Select the model beside Send in a noHuman's conversation to open the model picker, or open that member's AI model settings. Choose from connected accounts and available models, including a fallback where supported. A catalog listing alone does not guarantee that your account or installed engine can use a model.

Manage accounts and model choices.

What is the heartbeat/proactive system?

A member's Schedule settings control periodic save-state and proactive checks, their interval and supported model. Without a model of their own, checks use the team's helper model, chosen in Team settings → AI models. Checks can update notes or wake the member for work. Review recent checks and provider usage: proactive checks can consume tokens even when no visible message appears. Recurring local work needs the computer and worker running, plus connected tools and permissions for the requested service.

Review member schedules.

How does smart context management work?

Compaction summarizes older conversation content to make space in a model's context window. Open Profile in a conversation to inspect the Working context ring and its estimated usage, and use Make room when needed. Keep durable decisions in saved Memory: a summary can omit details, and compaction does not guarantee a fixed reduction in cost.

Inspect Working context.

What do the activity charts and Most active ranking measure?

Activity charts measure recorded working time for AI response, Tools, Browser and Subagents. Choose Last hour, Today or 7 days, and expand a chart for interval details and recording coverage. Most active orders up to three noHumans by recorded time, not task completion, quality or productivity. Missing time is unknown; partial recordings can affect the order. The app saves activity history on your computer across restarts.

Understand recorded activity.

Can I keep the Team work cards in my own order?

Yes. Use Reorder on Team overview and leave Auto arrange by activity off to keep your saved order. Enable automatic ordering if you want recent activity to control the order. The member filter lets you focus on selected parts of the team.

Arrange Team work cards.

Can my noHumans use a browser or my desktop?

Browser-capable noHumans have their own Chromium browser with a persistent profile. Select Browser in the conversation toolbar to watch it in a resizable right panel or take control. Desktop-capable members can drive your Mac after you grant Screen Recording and Accessibility to the app. Windows desktop click and type is experimental; use browser tools for web work.

Watch and control a browser.

How does the shared workspace work?

Each team has a shared workspace folder on your computer, chosen during setup. Its noHumans also have their own working folders, browser profiles and Memory. Your teams keep separate local configuration and history, while AI accounts are shared at computer level. Native workers run with your operating-system permissions; separate folders do not provide a filesystem sandbox.

Review local storage and permissions.

What does noHuman Team run on under the hood?

noHuman Team is an Electron app with a native supervisor that runs one process per member. Claude subscription workers use the Anthropic Claude Agent SDK; ChatGPT and API-key workers use a private instance of the open-source opencode CLI. It no longer uses OpenClaw or Docker.

Read third-party notices.

What are the system requirements?

noHuman Team supports macOS on Apple silicon and Intel, and Windows 10/11 with PowerShell 5.1 or later. Windows desktop input is experimental. The app installs its AI engines on first launch; cloud-based models do not require a local GPU. 16 GB of RAM is comfortable for a four-worker team. Check the install page for available builds and permissions.

Read Getting Started.

Can I use noHuman Team offline?

The desktop app, worker processes, files and orchestration run locally. Cloud-model calls need internet access, as do activation, catalog updates and optional phone access. The mobile companion requires its paired computer to stay running and online; it does not host the workers.

Read the online-computer requirements.

How do updates work?

Check for Updates from the app menu or App settings → Updates. Supported signed macOS installations in Applications can download an update, then install it when you choose Restart to update. Other installations open the matching installer. The app stops a running team before an in-app update. Team configuration, conversations, files and Memory live outside the app bundle and stay on your computer.

Read What’s new.

What are common business use cases for noHuman Team?

Use a team for software development, content drafting, research, or recurring operations. A leader can coordinate specialists, review their reports and ask you for decisions. Start with a small task, connect only the tools it needs, and verify files, sources and test results. Models can make mistakes, and local or external actions still need appropriate permission.
