-> [!WARNING]
-> This project is in the **Beta** phase. It may be vibecoded, untested, or out of date. OpenHands takes no responsibility for the code or its support. [Learn more](https://github.com/OpenHands/incubator-program).
+OpenHands Agent Canvas turns your coding agents into a self-hosted, always-on engineering team. It's a developer control center for starting conversations and automating everyday tasks — like generating reports that publish to Slack or automatically decomposing GitHub issues into tasks.
 
-[![Project Status: Beta](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-beta-blue)](https://github.com/OpenHands/incubator-program)
+It runs locally on your machine by default, but can connect to multiple “agent backends”, e.g. running agents in Docker containers, on VMs, or within your company infrastructure. You can optionally choose to run agents on OpenHands Cloud or OpenHands Enterprise infrastructure.
 
-OpenHands is a platform for orchestrating coding agents across different environments. You can:
+Agent Canvas runs the open source OpenHands agent out-of-the-box, but can use any third-party agent like Claude Code and Codex.
 
-- ⌨️ prompt agents manually
-- 🕐 run agents on a schedule
-- ⚡ trigger agents automatically — e.g. from Slack, GitHub, or Datadog.

-Agents can run anywhere:
-
-- 🧑‍💻 on your laptop
-- 🖥️ on a remote virtual machine
-- ☁️ in our hosted cloud
-- 🏢 or inside your company’s infrastructure
-
-The same Agent Canvas frontend can swap between each of these environments, so you can see everything in one place.
-
-OpenHands works with any agent harness (e.g. Claude Code, Codex)
-or connect directly to an LLM (e.g. Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, Minimax, Kimi).
