OpenHands is excited to be an open source partner to Stanford University, developing the next generation of agent builders.

OpenHands is the agent control plane for platform teams. Most AI tools help you write code, but the work still happens manually. OpenHands closes that gap by turning everyday tasks into agents and workflows that actually run across your stack. What starts as a prompt becomes something repeatable, observable, and part of how your team operates. It is built in the open because you should be able to see how agents work and control how they run. OpenHands is open source, model-agnostic, and deployable in your environment, so you decide what it connects to and how it behaves. The vision is simple: move from assistants to systems, where AI runs real parts of the development process in a way teams can trust.
