The first multi-agent development framework
One team.Many developers. Many AI agents.
H1VE is the first framework built for how software is really made now — humans and AI agents together, with the judgment and traceability to keep it trustworthy.
The problem
AI made code cheap. It did not make it trustworthy.
A developer with an AI agent ships in an hour what used to take a day. But code generated faster than anyone can review it becomes a liability — silent bugs, invented decisions, a system no one can fully account for.
Speed without judgment is debt disguised as progress.
The answer
Keep the speed of AI. Add the judgment of a team.
H1VE puts the right human decision at the right point — without slowing the machine down. Three ideas carry the whole method.
01
The machine proposes, the human decides
AI generates, suggests, and executes. But the decisions that matter pass through human judgment. Final authority is never delegated.
02
Quality is validated, not assumed
Independent roles verify both function and data integrity — neither of them the one who wrote the code. Two gates, two kinds of risk.
03
Every decision leaves a trace
Who did it, when, and on what basis. What the AI generated, and how much was reviewed. A system you can always audit.
How it works
A clear path from idea to production.
Every piece of work flows through defined stages. Nothing skips a step, and the gates — where humans decide — are built into the flow.
- Spec
- Dev + AI
- Pull request
- CI
- QA + Data
- Architect
- Main
The amber stages are gates — where human judgment enters.
From the manifesto
We value human judgment at the decision points over automated output without oversight.
