<!channel> I want to share some exciting news--we're shipping a new iteration of OpenHands that solves a lot of feedback coming from the community: Agent Canvas. Some major new features: • Bring your own agent (OpenHands, Claude Code, Codex) • Strong support for developing locally on your own filesystem • Easy self-hosting on one or more VMs • Scheduled and event-driven automations • Switch easily between local and cloud agents Agent Canvas is still in alpha, but you can try it out here: https://github.com/OpenHands/agent-canvas (PRs welcome!) We've also got a detailed issue with the go-forward plan here: https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands/issues/14374. We'd love to get your comments and feedback! You can comment on the issue above, or collaborate with us in #C06QT0AGY4W Thanks as always for being part of the OpenHands community 🙌

We also have open office time TOMORROW to give your initial feedback directly with the team; register on Luma or join the directly. And, we will dedicate most of our next Community Call to discussing these exciting new changes. Our community call is scheduled for Thurs, May 21 at 12pm ET. Register on Luma or join directly. Feel free to also join the conversation in #C06QT0AGY4W or on GitHub or this thread! We are actively monitoring the conversations 😄

Thank you! Just a tiny detail: "The automations backend is planned to be open sourced" -> is open source now.
