OpenHands

OpenHands is an open-source platform for running coding agents locally, in the cloud, or in self-hosted environments.

OpenHands

OpenHands provides Agent Canvas, a browser-based control center for coding-agent conversations and automations. It can connect to local, Docker, VM, cloud, and enterprise backends, and supports OpenHands plus ACP-compatible agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini.

Developers and engineering teams use it for code changes, pull-request review, issue triage, CI fixes, security remediation, and scheduled workflows. Local OpenHands and the Individual cloud plan are free, but model usage may require your own key or incur at-cost provider charges. Enterprise features use custom pricing.

Features

  • Run coding agents locally, in Docker, on VMs, or in cloud backends
  • Manage conversations and automations through a browser-based Agent Canvas
  • Create scheduled and webhook-triggered workflows
  • Integrate workflows with GitHub, Slack, Jira, Linear, and Notion
  • Use OpenHands, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or ACP-compatible agents
  • Expose agent execution through REST and WebSocket APIs
  • MIT-licensed open-source Agent Canvas repository

Use cases

  • Investigate CI failures and propose code fixes
  • Remediate security findings by updating code and opening pull requests
  • Automate recurring dependency updates, QA checks, and release tasks
