OpenHands
OpenHands is an AI-driven development tool that provides a self-hosted developer control center for coding agents and automations. It allows users to run agents locally, in Docker, on VMs, or anywhere they can run an agent server backend. OpenHands supports multiple agent backends, including local, remote, and cloud agents, and can be used with various agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Pi, and OpenCode. The tool provides features such as creating automations, integrating with third-party services, and using any LLM. OpenHands can be installed and run on a machine, and it provides a UI for managing agents and automations. The tool is part of a multi-repository OpenHands system and has a REST API for running multiple agents on a single machine.

Problem solved
OpenHands solves the problem of managing and automating coding tasks for developers. It provides a centralized control center for coding agents and automations, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than managing the underlying infrastructure. With OpenHands, developers can easily switch between different agent backends, create automations, and integrate with third-party services, making it easier to automate repetitive tasks and improve productivity.
