Decision brief
OpenHands is an AI-driven development tool that integrates with multiple AI models like ChatGPT and Claude-AI to offer intelligent support for coding tasks in Python.
Good fit when
- - You are working predominantly on Python projects requiring integration of advanced AI functionalities such as those offered by ChatGPT or Claude-AI.
- - Your development workflow benefits from real-time, context-aware suggestions that can only be provided by multi-model AI integrations.
Avoid when
- - If your project primarily uses technologies outside Python and you do not intend to integrate with ChatGPT or Claude-AI models specifically.
- - When the need for customization in AI model integration is limited, as OpenHands is more rigid in its current support for specific models like ChatGPT and Claude-AI.

Option 2: With a Docker Sandbox
Prerequisites:
- Docker: Docker Desktop on macOS/Windows, or Docker Engine/Docker Desktop on Linux.
- A host directory for
PROJECTS_PATHcontaining the project folders you want the agent to access. Create it before starting the container.
macOS / Linux:
export PROJECTS_PATH="$HOME/projects" # directory containing your project folders
mkdir -p "$PROJECTS_PATH" "$HOME/.openhands"
docker run -it --rm \
-p 8000:8000 \
-v "$HOME/.openhands:/home/openhands/.openhands" \
-v "${PROJECTS_PATH}:/projects" \
ghcr.io/openhands/agent-canvas:1.13.0 # x-release-please-version
Windows (PowerShell / Windows Terminal): See README.windows.md for the equivalent commands.
The agent will be able to access any project under PROJECTS_PATH.
