OpenHands
AI-driven software development platform where autonomous agents can modify code, run commands, browse the web, and call APIs to complete engineering tasks end to end.

Overview
OpenHands (formerly OpenDevin) runs agents in a sandboxed environment with real developer capabilities: editing code, executing shell commands, browsing the web, and calling APIs, so a task can go from description to a working change without a human driving every step. It's designed for end-to-end autonomy rather than the turn-by-turn assistive model of tools like Aider (also in this catalog).
OpenHands is a fit for teams experimenting with more autonomous software engineering workflows -- letting an agent attempt a full task in a sandbox and review the result -- rather than pair-programming with continuous human oversight.
