<Note>
Agent Canvas is in Beta. Expect the install path, packaging, and some UI details to keep evolving.

## Why Agent Canvas

- **One UI to drive any agent**: run conversations with OpenHands, Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI through the same browser interface.
- **Bring your own LLM**: connect Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or any OpenAI-compatible provider. Switch models per conversation.
- **Built-in automations**: schedule cron jobs or wire up event-driven workflows against GitHub, Linear, Slack, and custom webhooks.

Did you really mean 'cron'?
- **Run it anywhere**: a single `agent-canvas` command starts the full stack locally. Self-host on a VM, or connect to OpenHands Cloud.

## Key Concepts

| Concept | What It Means |
|---------|----------------|
| **Agent Canvas** | A UI and backend server for running agents and automations. The `agent-canvas` command starts both together. |

Did you really mean 'automations'?
| **Backend** | Any Canvas UI can securely connect to any Canvas backend: running locally, on a remote machine, or on [OpenHands Cloud](/openhands/usage/cloud/openhands-cloud). Register multiple and switch between them. |
| **Conversation** | A single agent session tied to a backend. Each conversation has its own message history, tool calls, and file changes. |
| **Automation** | A workflow that runs on a cron schedule or in response to events from GitHub, Linear, Slack, or custom webhooks. Automations may start agent conversations as needed. |
