What is OpenHands?
OpenHands is a community-focused platform for AI-driven development, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for building and deploying AI agents. Its core is the Software Agent SDK, a composable Python library that powers agentic technology, allowing developers to define agents in code and scale them from local environments to cloud deployments. For ease of use, the OpenHands CLI provides a familiar interface for interacting with LLMs like Claude and GPT. A Local GUI is also available for running agents on a laptop, complete with a REST API and a React application, similar to Devin or Jules. For larger scale, OpenHands Cloud offers a hosted GUI with integrations for Slack, Jira, and Linear, multi-user support, and collaboration features. An Enterprise version is available for self-hosting in a VPC with extended support.
