Understanding HiveLang

HiveLang is our proprietary orchestration language. It's designed to give you deterministic control over non-deterministic AI models.

Why not just use Python?

Python is great, but it requires boilerplate for LLM calls, retries, and tool parsing. HiveLang treats LLMs and tools as first-class primitives.

Syntax Basics

Calling Agents

You can invoke an agent synchronously and wait for its result:

ruby
let response = call SupportAgent with { query: "I forgot my password" }
say response

Tools and APIs

HiveLang makes calling external APIs trivial.

ruby
try
  let weather = call WeatherAPI.getCurrent { city: "London" }
  say "It is currently ${weather.temp} degrees."
catch
  say "I couldn't fetch the weather right now."
end

Parallel Execution

Need to do three things at once?

ruby
parallel
  call Calendar.check
  call CRM.lookup
  call Slack.status
end

HiveLang handles the concurrency and joins the results automatically. Dive into the /docs for the full language reference!
