Why OpenAssistant
A few real-world scenarios that show what having an assistant actually changes about your day.
Signing up
Create an account, verify your identity, and get your assistant ready.
Getting started
Set up your assistant and make your first request.
API authentication
How to authenticate with the API.
Connections
Link your calendar, email, and other services so your assistant can act on your behalf.
Skills
How to browse, install, and build skills that extend what your assistant can do.
Memory
How your assistant remembers things about you — and how to manage what it knows.
Drive
Files your assistant creates and stores on your behalf — accessible, downloadable, and yours to manage.
Supervision & visibility
Control how much your assistant acts autonomously and how you stay in the loop on outbound communications.
Links
Let people book time with you, or run group availability polls — your assistant handles both.
Workflows
Turn a task you've already done into something that runs automatically, on its own schedule.
Custom Assistants
Have more than one assistant, each with its own name, personality, and job to do.
Texting Your Assistant
Give your assistant its own phone number so you can text it like anyone else in your contacts.
Slack & Teams
Message your assistant right where your team already works, no separate app needed.
Voice & Phone Calls
Have your assistant make a phone call for you — a reservation, a confirmation, anything that's faster by voice.
Website Builder
Describe the site you want in plain language — your assistant builds and publishes a real, live one.
Billing & Credits
How usage is billed, how to check your balance, and how to add more when you're running low.
Contacts & Companies
Your assistant keeps track of the people and companies you work with, so you never have to re-explain who's who.
Concepts

What your assistant can do, how it decides when to act, and why it behaves the way it does.
Working with tasks
How tasks work, what statuses mean, and how to give your assistant what it needs.
How scheduling works
A privacy-first, multi-agent approach to meeting coordination.
Dispatch cart & execution
How Prime plans, stages, and executes real-world actions with deterministic human review.
Inbound channels
How your assistant handles messages from contacts, email replies, and Slack — and what it can and can't do with them.
Your cloud computer
Your assistant has its own private computing environment — here's what that means and what it can do.
