Getting Started
1.1 What is noHuman Team?
noHuman Team is a native desktop app for macOS and Windows that runs a team of AI workers on your computer. Choose a template, connect your AI accounts, and give each member a role. Check the install page for available installers.
Startup Team
- CEO — Coordinates the team, delegates tasks, reviews output
- Developer — Writes code, builds features, debugs problems
- Marketer — Creates content, plans campaigns, handles copy
- Automator — Manages scheduling, monitoring, and background tasks
Dev Squad
- Tech Lead — Coordinates work, sets priorities, reviews results
- Lead Developer — Senior implementation, design decisions, code review
- Coder — Writes code, implements features, fixes bugs
- QA — Testing, bug hunting, quality assurance
Content Factory
- Content Director — Plans strategy, delegates tasks, reviews output
- Writer — Long-form content, blog posts, articles
- Editor — Proofreading, style consistency, fact-checking
- SEO — Keyword research, optimization, meta tags
Members communicate through a built-in message bridge, share their team's workspace folder, and report back to you. Each member runs as a local process supervised by the app. Team files and history are stored locally, but prompts and selected content go to your AI provider; connected services may receive content too. License activation, catalogs, model discovery, updates, and optional mobile relay also use the network. Workers have your operating system's file permissions, not a separate filesystem sandbox.
Not the right roles? You can change any team member's role after setup (except the leader). See the noHuman Management → Role Migration docs for details.
1.2 System Requirements
- Operating system — macOS on Apple silicon or Intel, or Windows 10/11 with PowerShell 5.1 or later. Windows desktop click-and-type support is experimental.
- AI software — the app prepares Claude Code or OpenCode when your chosen connection needs it. Approve installation in setup and follow its progress; you do not need a terminal or a package manager.
- At least one AI provider — connect Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT Plus/Pro, or supply credentials for one of the other built-in providers.
- A noHuman Team license key — choose an early-adopter subscription or Limited test access while its campaign is open. Test keys keep their free 6-month term from activation, with no card or automatic paid renewal. Activate with the key and the email it was issued to.
- Telegram bot tokens — optional. Create one per member through @BotFather if you want to use Telegram.
- Memory — no hard minimum; 16 GB is comfortable for a four-worker team
1.3 Installation
Choose an available installer for your operating system from Install and open it — no terminal or build step. The release archive also retains earlier versions.
macOS
Download the .dmg (arm64 for Apple silicon, x64 for Intel), open it, and drag noHuman Team to Applications. The app is signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. macOS shows its standard downloaded-from-the-Internet confirmation the first time you open it.
Windows
Run the .exe installer. SmartScreen warns about an unsigned publisher: click More info → Run anyway.
First launch
The app checks for the claude and opencode engines and installs whichever is missing — from their makers' own installers, no terminal or Node.js needed — then opens the setup wizard. Updates are offered inside the app when a new version is published.
1.4 Quick Start Guide
Once the app opens, use the setup wizard to create your first team:
- Run the Setup Wizard — name your team and use Choose folder to select its workspace in Finder or Explorer, then add your license, AI account, template and optional Telegram.
- Connect your provider — sign in to Claude or ChatGPT, or select another provider and supply its credential through the app's AI account settings.
- Launch your team — the app starts one process per noHuman and waits until each one reports healthy
- Start chatting — talk to your leader from the dashboard, or from Telegram if you connected it
For gateway-managed Claude and ChatGPT connections, noHumans use a stand-in credential. The local gateway adds real authentication when contacting the provider. Prompts and selected content still go to that provider. Read AI accounts and integration variables for storage and access limits.
