Question 1

What is HumanikOS?

Accepted Answer

An operating system for AI employees. It does the two things an operating system does: it gives each employee its own isolated machine, and it ships the tools that employee needs to do real work. Databases, a browser, communication channels, scheduling, and access control are part of the workspace, not add-ons.

Question 2

How is this different from a chat tool?

Accepted Answer

A chat tool is something you operate. You ask, it answers, and you carry the result somewhere else. An AI employee here has its own computer, its own credentials, access to your real systems, and a schedule. You review what it has already done rather than prompting it through each step.

Question 3

What do I actually get when I deploy one?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated machine with its own filesystem and terminal, its own identity in your permission system, its own encrypted vault for credentials, and its own data. It sleeps when there is no work and wakes with its state intact.

Question 4

Which models can my employees use?

Accepted Answer

Anthropic directly, or OpenRouter for 300 or more models across every major vendor. You can also run inference on your own hardware, so the prompt, the context, and your data never reach a model vendor. The choice is made per workspace, per office, and per person.

Question 5

How do I control what an AI employee can do?

Accepted Answer

You allocate access one item at a time, and an employee reaches only what you allocated. Your people and your AI employees are governed by one permission system in one policy language. An employee can never do more than you allowed.

Question 6

Can my employees use software you have not integrated with?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no catalogue standing between you and trying. You describe the system, and the platform reads its live documentation, collects credentials through a secure form, and writes the instructions your employees need. It fires a real authenticated request and only marks the connection working if that request succeeds.

Question 7

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Access to the platform is a monthly subscription. On top of that you pay for what you use: the compute your employees run on, and the tokens they think with. Both are metered, and idle employees stop so you are not billed for that time. The pricing page has the detail.

Question 8

What does each employee get of its own?

Accepted Answer

Each employee runs on its own machine with its own filesystem and its own vault. Secrets are encrypted at rest, injected when the machine starts, and are not shared across offices.
