OpenHands
OpenHands provides an open‑source, model‑agnostic platform that runs AI‑driven coding agents to automate vulnerability scanning, code review, legacy migration, and incident triage. Teams can integrate these agents via SDK, CLI, or web UI and deploy them locally, in the cloud, or in air‑gapped environments using any LLM provider.

Problem
Software teams spend significant time manually scanning codebases for vulnerabilities, reviewing pull requests for quality, and migrating legacy systems, often requiring specialized expertise and custom tooling. This manual effort slows development cycles and increases the risk of security incidents.
Solution
OpenHands offers an open-source, model‑agnostic platform that runs coding agents in the cloud, locally, or in air‑gapped environments. The agents can automatically scan dependencies, generate remediation patches, and open reviewable pull requests. Additional agents provide AI‑driven code review, legacy code migration (e.g., COBOL to Java), and incident triage with root‑cause analysis. Developers can embed the platform into existing workflows via a flexible SDK, CLI, or web UI, and customize agents through open micro‑agent APIs. The platform supports bring‑your‑own LLM keys or built‑in model providers, enabling cost‑effective, secure automation at scale.
Target Audience
Primary users are software development teams and DevOps engineers who need automated security remediation, code quality assurance, and legacy system modernization, as well as enterprises requiring self‑hosted or private‑cloud deployments.
Features
- Automated vulnerability scanning that identifies insecure dependencies and creates fix PRs
- AI‑powered code review agent that checks for security, quality, and best‑practice compliance
- Legacy code migration agent with testing and validation for moving COBOL systems to Java
- Incident triage agent that analyzes errors, determines root causes, and suggests debugging steps
- Open SDK and micro‑agent framework for building, extending, and orchestrating custom agents
- Multiple deployment options: local open‑source install, SaaS cloud, or self‑hosted/air‑gapped environments
- Integration with Git providers, Jira, Slack, and CI/CD pipelines via CLI and web UI
- Model‑agnostic architecture allowing use of any LLM provider or OpenHands’ own at‑cost models
