Our take
Pick AutoGPT if operators who want a hosted expert team and will pay Pro after the trial. Pick OpenHands if teams who want a coding agent on a repo, locally or as hosted SaaS, and will bring a model key. Skip AutoGPT if people who want a local OSS agent framework (AutoGen) or a repo-native coding agent (OpenHands). Skip OpenHands if people who want an IDE fork with Tab (Cursor) or a browser app builder (Replit).
