AI agents for software development.

This repository provides OpenHands Agent Canvas, a self-hosted interface for starting coding-agent conversations and coordinating automated development tasks. It runs locally by default and can connect to multiple agent backends on Docker, virtual machines or cloud infrastructure. It supports OpenHands and ACP-compatible agents, while its integrated automation backend supplies scheduled workflows and webhook-triggered connections to external services.
