Hive is an open-source agent development framework that helps developers build autonomous, reliable, self-improving AI agents by letting them describe goals in ordinary natural language instead of hand-coding detailed workflows. Rather than manually defining execution graphs, Hive’s coding agent generates the agent graph, connection code, and test cases based on your high-level objectives, enabling outcome-driven agent creation that fits real business processes. Once deployed, agents can capture failure data, evolve automatically to meet their success criteria, and redeploy without constant manual intervention, delivering continual improvement over time. The framework also includes human-in-the-loop nodes, credential management, cost and budget controls, and real-time observability so teams can monitor execution and intervene as needed. Hive is designed for production environments and supports a wide range of large language models, local models, and business system connectivity.
