HyperTeams vs managed personal assistants

Manus, Lindy, and OpenHands sell doing it for you. HyperTeams sells a state other people can rely on.

The short version

The strength of this tier is that there is almost nothing to install. Manus and Lindy start on their cloud the moment you have an account; OpenHands goes onto your own server with one Docker command. While you are working alone they are lighter than HyperTeams, and that is simply true. The divergence is when "my computer" starts to matter — your folders, your internal network, the tools you already installed are not reachable from their sandbox. And once colleagues or customers start assigning that work, you need approval, an audit trail, and attribution.

What the control room does, and what Connect does

HyperTeams is two products. Which of them answers each row above is exactly where the boundary sits.

HyperTeams control room

Runs the work on your machine

A program you install with one command. It assigns work per folder, runs jobs in parallel, and keeps going after you close the window. While you work alone, this is all you need.

The rows it answers
  • Where it runs
  • Several jobs at once
  • How far along it is
  • If you close the window
  • At a set time

HyperTeams Connect

Makes it something others rely on, unattended

It starts paying the moment there is a second machine and a second person: pooling machines into one list, filtering work others assign through approval, keeping an audit trail of what happened, and splitting cost per person.

The rows it answers
  • Several machines in one place
  • When someone else assigns work
  • Retracing it later
  • What it cost

When do you move up a rung?

  1. L1 · Observe

    You watch several machines. The moment there is a second one.

  2. L2 · Share

    The team sees what was asked for. The moment you start sharing one password.

  3. L3 · Delegate

    Others assign work and see the results. This is where approval, policy, and audit earn their place.

Where they diverge

Whose computer it runs on

HyperTeams control room
these managed assistants

Their sandbox. Your folders and your internal network are not visible from there.

HyperTeams control room

Your own machine, using the tools and folders you already have.

When someone else assigns it

HyperTeams Connect
these managed assistants

The account owner is the user. Team features exist, but nothing asks "may this particular run happen."

HyperTeams Connect

Policy per folder and per command, pre-approval per item, and the approval kept as its own record.

Whose cost it is

HyperTeams Connect
these managed assistants

Credits come off the account. Who spent what is not in there.

HyperTeams Connect

Cost attaches to each job, is attributed to a person and a team, and can be capped.

Which one should you pick?

When to just use a managed assistant

  • When there must be nothing to install

    An account is the whole setup. No machine to leave on, no server.

  • When most of the work is on the web

    Driving a browser to book, research, and fill in forms is more polished on their side.

  • When fully open source is a requirement

    OpenHands is open source and runs on your server via Docker. If the licence is the requirement, that is your answer.

When HyperTeams is the answer

  • When it needs your folders and your network

    HyperTeams control room

    None of that is reachable from their sandbox. HyperTeams runs on your own machine and uses the tools and folders you already have.

  • When colleagues or customers start assigning work

    HyperTeams Connect

    A tool that assumes one account owner has nowhere to ask "may this run happen." Policy per folder and command, pre-approval per item, and the record of it, live here.

  • When the company pays

    HyperTeams Connect

    Credits coming off one account cannot be split per person. Cost attaches to each job and is attributed to a person and a team.

Running both

  1. 1

    Leave your assistant running

    Keep personal scheduling and research where they are.

  2. 2

    Attach it as a tool

    Call it from inside a HyperTeams job over an HTTP or command tool, or over MCP.

  3. 3

    Move the work that needs your machine

    Only the work that touches internal folders, the internal network, or installed tools — plus the work others assign.

Common questions

A layer, not a replacement

Put it on top of what you already run

One command to install. Nothing you use today gets removed or moved — you only add the command screen above it.
