# Introduction

> Welcome to OpenHands, a community focused on AI-driven development

🙌 Welcome to OpenHands, a [community](/overview/community) focused on AI-driven development. We'd love for you to [join us on Slack](https://openhands.dev/joinslack).

There are a few ways to work with OpenHands:

## Agent Canvas

Agent Canvas is a browser-based UI and backend server for running agents and automations. A single `agent-canvas` command starts the full stack locally. Self-host on a VM, or connect to OpenHands Cloud.

[Get started with Agent Canvas](/openhands/usage/agent-canvas/overview) or [view the source](https://github.com/OpenHands/agent-canvas)

## OpenHands Cloud

A fully managed version of OpenHands with source-available features and integrations:

* Deeper integrations with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket
* Integrations with Slack, Jira, and Linear
* Multi-user support
* RBAC and permissions
* Collaboration features (e.g., conversation sharing)
* Usage reporting
* Budgeting enforcement

Try it free by [signing in with your GitHub account](https://app.all-hands.dev).

## OpenHands Enterprise

Large enterprises can work with us to self-host OpenHands Cloud in their own VPC, via Kubernetes.
OpenHands Enterprise can also work with the CLI and SDK above.

OpenHands Enterprise is source-available--you can see all the source code here in the enterprise/ directory,
but you'll need to purchase a license if you want to run it for more than one month.

Enterprise contracts also come with extended support and access to our research team.

Learn more at [openhands.dev/enterprise](https://openhands.dev/enterprise)

## OpenHands Software Agent SDK

The SDK is a composable Python library that contains all of our agentic tech. It's the engine that powers everything else.

Define agents in code, then run them locally, or scale to 1000s of agents in the cloud.

## Legacy

<Accordion title="OpenHands CLI and Local GUI">
  **OpenHands CLI**

  The CLI is a terminal-based interface for running OpenHands agents. You can power it with Claude, GPT, or any other LLM.

  [Check out the docs](https://docs.openhands.dev/openhands/usage/run-openhands/cli-mode) or [view the source](https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands-CLI)

  **OpenHands Local GUI**

  A legacy UI requiring Docker for running agents on your laptop. It comes with a REST API and a single-page React application.

  [Check out the docs](https://docs.openhands.dev/openhands/usage/run-openhands/local-setup) or view the source in this repo.
