Agent Canvas is the latest way to use

open hands. Let's learn how to set it up

on Windows using NPM and then set up

GitHub and Slack integrations. Windows

installation with auto sandbox. You'll

need Node and UV installed. Please note

that if you run the agent server

directly on your machine without a

sandbox, the agent will have full access

to your file system. These are the

commands that you'll execute. Once you

have your terminal open, go ahead and

run NPM install {dash} G for global at

open hands {forward slash} agent {dash}

canvas.

>> [music]

>> Once agent canvas is fully installed,

then you can run agent {dash} canvas.

When you see localhost, you know you're

ready to get started. Getting started.

Setting up agent canvas and starting

your first chat. Navigate to

localhost:8000.

[music]

You'll then go ahead and go through the

prompts using your agents. I'm going to

choose open hands.

You'll check your back end. This time it

will be local. Just click next.

Then you'll pick your LLM provider. In

this case, we'll use Anthropic with the

Claude Opus 4.7. I'm going to input my

API key and click next.

From here, you can see our proven

workflows that you can try out with

linear, Slack, Notion,

or you can enter your own prompt. We're

going to create a basic web page

explaining what open hands can do. We're

going to click send and that will open

up a new conversation.

The agent [music] is going to start

working on the prompt given, in this

case creating a web page. It will reply

back in the chat, and you can preview

the web page on the right-hand side.

Getting started. Adding open hands cloud

back end. Let's go ahead and hover down

to the local area and click add back

[music] end.

We're then going to log in to Open Hands

Cloud. You'll see a new tab pop open

with some letters. That's the name of

this connection. You don't need to save

that. We're going to click authorize and

then we'll return back to our agent

canvas. Then you'll be able to see that

we are now connected to Open Hands

Cloud. Create an LLM profile.

First you'll want to navigate to your

settings and click LLM.

From there you'll click add LLM profile.

You can give that profile a nickname.

In this case we are going to call it

MiniMax.

From there you'll pick an LLM provider.

I'm going to pick Open Hands.

>> [music]

>> I'm going to pick the model MiniMax M.3

and I'm going to put my API key in

>> [music]

>> and click save.

Once you've saved, now you have a couple

of different LLM profiles and when you

create a new chat, you can pick which

profile you want to start with.

Creating an automation from [music]

scratch.

You can create an automation just by

starting a new chat. In this case

[music]

I'm going to create a new automation

where every day at

10:00 a.m. Eastern, I'm going to have

all my GitHub notifications [music]

summarized and presented to me in a

chat.

From there you can use any LLM model

that you want. I'm using GPT. If it's a

simpler request, you can also use

something like MiniMax.

And then the agent will go ahead and get

started on that task. Once it's done,

I'm going to return to the automate tab

and I'm going to go ahead and trigger it

to run now only for [music]

demonstration purposes.

Then a chat get kicked off. We're going

to open it to follow along and once it's

done, it'll return that summary of my

GitHub notifications.

In the future, you could even set it up

with Slack so that it would send you a

message. Adding an agent canvas to your

Slack server. You'll want to navigate to

api.slack.com/apps. You'll want to click

create an app

and then from scratch. You'll then need

to give this app a name. Whatever you

want is fine. And then you'll need to

pick a workspace. You'll need to be

admin of that workspace in order to

create an add an application.

Then click create app.

It'll have you return back to this page.

You'll want to scroll down and go to

OAuth and permissions.

Then you'll need to scroll down

and you're going [music] to want to add

an OAuth scope.

You'll see here that these are the

scopes that you need to add for this to

work.

Once you have all of them, scroll up to

install to dummy hands or whatever your

workspace is called and click allow.

Afterwards, you'll scroll down and

[music]

there will be a bot user OAuth token.

Please save that for later. [music]

Return to your workspace and click the

person icon.

From there, you'll want to go to the

integrations tab

and you're going to click add an app.

Once the new page opens up, you're going

to click add for the app which we named

agent hands. You'll want to return back

to agent canvas and click automate in

the left hand. You'll then click Slack

channel monitor. You're going to put in

your team [music] workspace ID, which

you can find in your URL, and you'll

also need to add that OAuth bot token we

saved earlier.

Once you click install, it'll open up a

new chat with a prompt. [music] If you'd

like, you can go ahead and change the

default name and then submit it to start

the chat.

The agent is going to come back and ask

you a few questions like what channel,

in this case we want general, and also

what name to monitor for, and we are

going to use Joe-Bot.

When it's done, you'll see something

similar to this be returned in your

chat. You can then navigate back to

Automate and click on that Slack channel

monitor to see that it is active.

>> [snorts]

>> Now we'll return back to our workspace

and go ahead and send a message [music]

for our bot.

Once the bot has seen this, it'll react

with some eyes and start a thread.

You can either go to the localhost URL

or wait for the agent [music]

to reply back with your answer in Slack.

Adding GitHub to your agent canvas.

First, navigate to the Automate tab side

and then go ahead and pick a GitHub

workflow that you want to implement. I'm

going to pick [music] the GitHub code

review and I'm going to input my

personal access token

>> [music]

>> and click install.

A new chat is going to open with a skill

and I'm going to enter

and then I will need to answer a few

questions like how often do I want this

automation to poll? I'm going to pick

every 5 minutes. I'm also going to have

the agent comment on PRs that are ready

for review, but not drafted.

And also put the agent's review as a

comment to that PR. [music] And then I'm

going to pick a repository for this

automation to monitor.

Now that the automation is done, just

for demonstration, I'm going to go ahead

and go back to the automate tab, and I'm

going to go ahead and click run now so

that I can get a review for my PR.

Once the job is done, I can go to GitHub

and I can check out the comment that was

left.
