OpenHands OpenHands
OpenHands is an open-source autonomous coding agent that resolves software engineering tasks from start to finish by planning, writing, testing, and debugging code in a sandboxed environment.

Recent releases (v1.16.0 as of August 2026) introduced the Agent Canvas interface, expanded support for ACP-compatible agents, and refined enterprise fleet management features through the Agent Control Plane.
