BUILT IN THE OPEN
Four open engines. One platform. Nothing hidden.
Agent Hive is a commercial platform built openly on four permissively-licensed open-source engines, one per pillar. We name them, link the source, self-host each one per colony, and credit them here.
the four engines
Meet the engines we stand on.
Each pillar is powered by one permissively-licensed open-source engine. We name it, show its license and its public star count, and send you straight to the source.

the stack
How four open engines become one platform.
The open core runs headlessly inside your own isolated colony. Around it, our commercial control plane adds the governance, isolation, and billing that turn four engines into one operated platform.

self-host
Self-hosted per colony. Your context never leaves your runtime.
Each engine runs headlessly inside your isolated colony, not in a shared multi-tenant service. One machine, one Postgres, one encrypted volume per tenant. We wrap the open core in a commercial control plane that adds governance, isolation, and the memory layer, and we forward your own model keys at run time without storing them in the clear. The foundation is open; the operation is yours.
licensing
Permissive by design.
Nothing in Agent Hive's foundation restricts commercial use. We honor each project's attribution obligations and ship the full NOTICE in our source tree.
Paperclip (MIT)
Copyright (c) the Paperclip authors. Used as the Org pillar: the org chart, agents, budgets, and governance. MIT permits commercial use; we preserve the copyright notice.
Hermes Agent (MIT)
Copyright (c) NousResearch and the Hermes Agent authors. Used as the CEO pillar: the single agent you talk to. MIT permits commercial use; we preserve the copyright notice.
Sim (Apache-2.0)
Used as the Workflows pillar: visual workflows agents author and run. We self-host only Sim's Apache-2.0 licensed core and preserve its NOTICE. We do NOT include or distribute Sim's separately-licensed enterprise modules (SSO + access control); Agent Hive supplies its own auth (Clerk) and RBAC instead.
mem0 (Apache-2.0)
Used as the Hivemind pillar: the governed, shared mind your whole colony thinks with. We self-host mem0's Apache-2.0 licensed core and preserve its NOTICE, then wrap it in our control-plane memory layer scoped per colony.
The complete, machine-readable attributions live in the NOTICE file at the root of our source tree. There are 4 engines, one per pillar.

We are happy to walk an engineer or a security reviewer through the foundation and the control plane around it.
