# Use Cases Overview

> Explore how OpenHands can help with common software development challenges

OpenHands supports a wide variety of software development tasks. Here are some of the key use cases where OpenHands can help accelerate your work.

Each use case can be implemented in different ways—as a one-off conversation, a scheduled [automation](/openhands/usage/automations/overview), a [plugin](https://github.com/OpenHands/extensions), or through the [SDK](/sdk/index). Pick the approach that fits your workflow.
