Building the bot ecosystem

Bothive is where creators publish bots, startups run them as automations, and our AI engine handles the rest.

Code-defined bots. Hosted execution. A marketplace when you're ready to share.

I started Bothive because teams shouldn't rebuild the same AI stack—models, tools, memory, billing—for every bot they ship. Builders define agents in HiveLang; startups import and run them on one engine.

The story

Bothive started from a simple observation: building useful AI bots shouldn't require stitching together five different services. As models got stronger, developers and founders kept rebuilding the same hosting, tools, and memory layers.

There had to be a better way—a platform where you define bots in code, deploy them to a real engine, and let startups install them like products. Where those bots can collaborate, remember context, and run jobs without you babysitting infrastructure.

That vision became Bothive: Hivestore for distribution, workspaces for teams, and a single runtime for execution. We're early, but the loop—publish, install, automate—is what we're betting the next wave of software on.

If you're building bots or automating a startup with agents, I'd love to hear from you.

Philosophy

Democratize agents

Powerful bots shouldn't be locked inside big tech—creators and startups deserve the same runtime.

Build in public

We share what we ship, what breaks, and what we learn building the hive.

Community first

Hivestore and workspaces grow when builders and teams succeed together.

Simplicity

Code to deploy, install to automate—complex infra, simple surface.

The future isn't AI replacing teams—it's bots amplifying what small teams can ship.
