OpenHands is an open-source, model-agnostic platform for running coding agents in the cloud. Agents take on real engineering tasks: reviewing pull requests, triaging issues, fixing failed CI runs and opening pull requests with proposed changes. You choose the models and the runtime, so the same setup can start on a laptop and later scale to cloud infrastructure with full control and transparency over how agents behave in production.
OpenHands is built for software engineering teams, engineering managers and platform or DevOps groups that want repetitive parts of the development lifecycle handled automatically. Developers who prefer open tooling and their own model choices will like the flexibility, while organizations with security and compliance needs can run agents on infrastructure they pick and control how those agents operate. Small teams can begin with a template and grow into shared automations for the whole company.
Automations can be triggered from GitHub, Slack, Jira, Linear and schedules. A team might have an agent watch Slack for mentions and open a conversation with the message context, classify new Linear issues, suggest labels and flag duplicates, or watch Jira for incidents, gather logs and recent changes and route the issue to the right owner. Others use it to review every pull request for a chosen label, draft incident retrospectives from Notion and Jira notes, validate security alerts and open a remediation pull request, or inspect failed workflows to find the likely cause and propose a fix.
