AI-powered software development agents that code like humans
OpenHands is a platform for AI software development agents that modify code, run commands, browse the web, and call APIs—handling tasks any human developer can perform.
OpenHands (formerly OpenDevin) is a platform that enables AI agents to perform the full spectrum of software development tasks. These agents can modify code, execute commands, browse the web, call APIs, and interact with development environments just like human developers.
Designed for individual developers working on their local workstations, OpenHands streamlines coding workflows by automating repetitive tasks and accelerating development cycles. The platform supports multiple LLM providers, with Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5 delivering optimal results.
Users can start immediately with OpenHands Cloud (includes $20 in free credits) or run locally via CLI launcher with uv or Docker. The CLI launcher provides better isolation and is recommended for most use cases. Local deployment requires a single-user environment—the platform is not designed for multi-tenant scenarios without the commercially-licensed Cloud Helm Chart.
As a community-driven project distributed under the MIT License (except the enterprise/ folder), OpenHands welcomes contributions and maintains active communication through Slack and GitHub. Comprehensive documentation covers LLM provider configuration, troubleshooting, and advanced setup options including headless mode and GitHub Actions integration.
When teams consider OpenHands, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Automated Code Refactoring
Agents analyze codebases and systematically refactor legacy code while maintaining functionality and running tests to verify changes.
API Integration Development
Agents browse documentation, generate integration code, and test API endpoints to accelerate third-party service connections.
GitHub Issue Resolution
Automated agents process tagged issues, implement fixes, run validation checks, and prepare pull requests for review.
Development Environment Setup
Agents execute setup scripts, install dependencies, configure tools, and verify environment readiness for new projects.
OpenHands supports multiple LLM providers with Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5 (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929) delivering the best performance. You'll configure your preferred provider and API key when launching the application.
OpenHands is designed for single-user local workstation use. It lacks built-in authentication, isolation, and scalability for multi-tenant deployments. For team environments, consider the commercially-licensed OpenHands Cloud Helm Chart.
OpenHands Cloud is a hosted service with $20 in free credits for new users, offering immediate access without setup. Local deployment via CLI or Docker gives you full control and runs on your infrastructure but requires configuration.
Run 'mv ~/.openhands-state ~/.openhands' to migrate your conversation history to the new location used by version 0.44 and later.
OpenHands is optimized for individual developer workstations. Production or public network deployments require additional security hardening as outlined in the Hardened Docker Installation Guide, and multi-tenant scenarios need the commercial Cloud Helm Chart.
