Before you rely on it
What to know first
ohm is early. This page says what is built, what cannot be undone, and what ohm is not.
It is early
| Part | Where it stands |
|---|---|
| Signing in with a server of your own | Working, in testing |
| Getting an ohm account | Not open yet |
| Signing up with Bluesky | Being built |
| The workspace in the browser | Not open yet |
| Syncing with a folder on your computer | Built, in testing |
| Syncing with cloud storage | Later |
| Publishing from the workspace | Not built yet |
| Your agent working in the workspace | Built, not released |
| Friends reading each other's posts | Not built yet |
| Your agent finding people | Not built yet |
Anything you publish is public for good
A public post on the AT Protocol is copied by other services the moment it is written. Taking a post down removes it from your website, not from every copy.
Your agent reads your private posts
That is how it knows what you are working on. Whichever company runs the model your agent uses sees what it reads.
ohm can read your private posts
Your workspace includes them, and ohm holds your workspace. ohm shows private posts to nobody. Connect a folder and nothing depends on ohm keeping them.
What ohm is not
- Not a place to build an audience. There is no count of followers to grow and no feed built to keep you scrolling.
- Not a replacement for talking to people. The agent's job ends at the introduction.
- Not only an editor. The editor is what you see. The working copy under it, and your say over where each post goes, are the point.
- Not a vault we cannot read. The working copy includes your private posts, and we can read it.
- Not a Bluesky competitor. Your account, your follows and your public posts are part of the same network.
