07/17/2026, 3:40 PMThis seems very interesting, UX-wise!
I first thought what they call subscription is maybe not necessary, since the agent can wait and babysit/iterate on a PR. But babysitting ends anyway, and reacting to new changes requires another human to prompt, for OpenHands…
On the other hand, I’ve experimented with my agent to use a single conversation for all notifications on the same PR/issue and I liked it! (while OH uses a different conversation for the same PR)
Maybe we can consider something like this, where the agent subscribes to be notified in the same convo of interesting PR changes?

07/26/2026, 7:29 PMInteresting! I wonder if we can already do this through automations? In other words:
1. create an automation that has webhook for all activity on a repo
2. when it gets activity, it checks if any conversation is associated with that PR and sends a “push” to that conversation

07/26/2026, 7:31 PM@nutritious-balloon-65098 spec out what this might look like looking at the OpenHands/automations, OpenHands/software-agent-sdk, and OpenHands/extensions repositories. Ideally we’d have all the machinery implemented already in automations and sdk, but if we don’t tell me what’s missing.

07/27/2026, 2:23 PMI think your agent may have got stuck on the LLM, because litellm gets the wrong API key; I understand Saurya fixed this, but it’s probably not deployed yet.
If that is so, I found that manually switching LLM to some other profile and back, works to continue.
