# Bothive Documentation

> Build production-ready AI agents with memory, tools, and observability.

Bothive is the backend for AI agents — runtime, workflows, storage, and observability in one platform. No infrastructure to provision, no glue code to maintain between your model and your data.

Think of it as Firebase, but for agents instead of apps.

## Why Bothive

Most agent frameworks stop at "call a model, get a response." Production agents need more: persistent memory across sessions, tool execution with retries and observability, workflows that chain multiple agents reliably, and a way to ship changes without redeploying everything.

Bothive handles that layer so you can focus on what your agent actually does.

## Core building blocks

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Runtime" icon="bolt" href="/concepts/architecture">
    Execute agents with memory, tools, and state built in. Handles retries and streaming out of the box.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Workflows" icon="git-branch" href="/guides/build-your-first-agent">
    Chain agents and tools into pipelines with conditional branching and error handling.
  </Card>

  <Card title="HiveStore" icon="database" href="/concepts/memory">
    Persistent storage purpose-built for agent state — not a bolted-on database.
  </Card>

  <Card title="HiveMind" icon="sparkles" href="/guides/build-your-first-agent">
    Turn a prompt or voice note into a working agent, no boilerplate required.
  </Card>

  <Card title="HiveLang" icon="code" href="/concepts/hivelang">
    A small DSL for defining agent behavior declaratively, when you need more control than a prompt gives you.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Observability" icon="chart-line" href="/concepts/observability">
    Trace every run, tool call, and token — down to the individual agent step.
