About OpenDevin
OpenHands is a self-hosted developer control center for coding agents and automations. It enables users to run AI-driven coding agents (including OpenHands, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or any ACP-compatible agent) across local, remote, and cloud backends. The Agent Canvas feature turns coding agents into an always-on engineering team, allowing users to start conversations, generate reports that publish to Slack, and automatically decompose GitHub issues into tasks. OpenHands runs locally by default but can connect to multiple agent backends such as Docker containers, VMs, or company infrastructure. Users can optionally run agents on OpenHands Cloud or Enterprise infrastructure. It supports creating automations and workflows that integrate with Slack, GitHub, Linear, and more, and works with any LLM.
