What is OpenHands?
OpenHands, formerly OpenDevin, is an open-source platform for AI software development agents. It can modify code, run shell commands, browse the web and call APIs, working through a task described in plain language.
Do I need my own LLM?
Yes. Choose the OpenHands hosted provider or paste in your own API key for Anthropic, OpenAI or another provider the first time you open the dashboard. The provider bills you directly.
How do I connect my repositories?
Open Integrations in the dashboard and connect GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. OpenHands can then see your repositories and suggest tasks from them.
Is it safe to let an agent run commands?
Each conversation runs in its own isolated container, so file edits and shell commands stay inside that sandbox. The agent still needs real credentials to open a pull request or call an API, so scope those as you would for any automation.
Is there a default admin login?
No. OpenHands has no separate admin username or password; you open the dashboard at your domain and configure it from there.
Which machine size should I choose?
t3a.medium on AWS or e2-medium on Google Cloud to start. Choose a larger machine for several concurrent agent sessions or large codebases.
Is OpenHands finished software?
Not yet. The project carries a Beta tag in its own repository and is under active development, so expect it to keep changing.
Where does my code live?
On the server in your own AWS account or GCP project. Meetrix has no access to the running instance, your repositories or your LLM keys.
