Automate the Outer Loop with AI
"OpenHands autonomously fixes 87% of bug tickets same-day. Our clients think we hired an army of engineers."
Nick Blanchet,
CTO at Flextract
“OpenHands was the only solution that let us prompt an autonomous coding agent remotely at scale, not just on a laptop or inside a narrow CI template.”
Sina Pakazad,
VP of Data Science at C3
“The integration of Lemonade Server with OpenHands reflects AMD’s commitment to open-source innovation and developer choice. This collaboration enables local coding agents that prioritize privacy, cost efficiency, and flexible model selection – while taking advantage of acceleration on Ryzen AI PCs. Together, we’re supporting a range of workflows and staying true to open-source values.”
Adrian Macias,
Director, Developer Acceleration at AMD

Developers love OpenHands
Join millions of developers to build software autonomously
Nacho Martínez Rincón
Data Scientist Advocate at Oracle
The OpenHands SDK is one of the most complete SDKs for agent harness and agentic AI development - including enabling vibecoding with opensource models. Great reliability for tool calling through the Tool System - very dev friendly!
OpenHands raised $18.8M to build cloud coding agents that solve 87% of bug tickets same day.
This is what AI coding tools should be. Not another chat interface. Actual autonomous problem solving that ships to production.

At this point, there isn't much of a need to roll your own especially when claude code SDK and openhands sdk are offering nice API's to utilize them.
This is where it gets interesting.
Your agents are so underrated, but even though there are many benchmarks, which are testing agentic coding and are using your work as reference - OpenHands agent with tested model...
I just don't get why everybody is so silent about your work...
Reposting till people wake up.

I love this project because it is the first of its kind in coding agent space and you have the freedom to configure your own way. It also integrates well with various ecosystems. I believe this project can go long!

I love using autonomous agents like @allhands_ai OpenHands for 80% of the work (esp. backend), and then an interactive IDE like @windsurf or @zeddotdev for debugging, refinement, and UI work.
It saves tons of my time and saves a lot of money too with the right models/plans.
I fvkn love vibe coding with OpenHands. It's not like your editor is doing things for you, it's like an idiot internal that literally knows all the book stuff. OpenHands commit, my tweaks, rinse and repeat. Phenomenal!!
I haven't tried Devin yet but I freakin' love OpenHands. I prefer having more control over how it's working.
Also that general workflow is the future. Just opening GitHub issues and the AI figures it out and writes tests and then pushes a PR is magical.
Powering enterprise AI with the world’s best
OpenHands partners with the leading AI infrastructure providers to ensure our platform is optimized for the latest generation of compute so your team can build on top of it faster.
FAQ's
What is OpenHands?
OpenHands is an AI agent platform for software development that can execute real engineering work, not just suggest code. It runs autonomous agents that plan, write, and apply changes across your codebase, helping teams complete complex tasks end-to-end. Built on an open source foundation, it's designed for enterprise software development at scale.
How is OpenHands different from AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT?
Instead of helping you write code faster, OpenHands helps you ship changes end-to-end. Tools such as GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT generate code suggestions. OpenHands runs agents that complete entire engineering tasks, taking actions across entire codebases, running tasks in parallel, and executing changes in real environments.
Can OpenHands work with large or legacy codebases?
Yes. OpenHands is specifically designed to handle large, complex, and legacy codebases. With its Large Codebase SDK, it maps dependencies across the system and orchestrates changes in the correct order, allowing multiple agents to safely work in parallel without conflicts.
Is OpenHands secure for enterprise use?
OpenHands runs in your environment, whether on-prem or private cloud, so your code never leaves your control. Since agents operate inside secure, isolated execution environments with full auditability, it is built for organizations with strict data security, compliance, and governance requirements.
What types of teams use OpenHands?
OpenHands is used by platform teams automating engineering workflows at scale, teams building internal developer platforms or AI-powered tooling, and enterprises managing large or legacy codebases and mission-critical software systems.
