Hive is an outcome-driven agent development framework designed to evolve based on user interactions and outcomes. It provides a robust platform for developers to create intelligent agents capable of adapting and improving their performance over time.

Hive stands out as an outcome-driven agent development framework that focuses on continuous improvement through user interactions, offering a unique approach to building adaptive AI agents.

When it fits — and when it doesn’t
