            <h1>Introducing Autohand</h1>
            <p class="lede">Autohand is a platform for building AI software engineers with self-evolving capabilities. It helps engineering teams build, deploy, and manage complex systems through autonomous agents that learn and improve over time.</p>
          </header>

          <section class="doc-section" id="products">
            <h2>Product suite</h2>
            <p>Autohand provides four products that cover the full software development lifecycle:</p>
            <ul>
              <li><strong>Code</strong>: AI-powered coding tools for the terminal and your IDE. Code includes the CLI for terminal-first workflows, extensions for VS Code and Zed Editor, and JetBrains integration through the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP).</li>
              <li><strong>Evolve</strong>: Self-improving AI agents that discover and optimize algorithms through evolutionary processes. Evolve runs autonomously, testing mutations against your evaluation criteria and selecting the best performers for each generation.</li>
              <li><strong>Slack</strong>: An integration that brings Autohand into your team conversations. Interact with AI agents directly from your workspace channels.</li>
              <li><strong>Commander</strong>: A visual interface for orchestrating multi-agent workflows across your infrastructure.</li>
            </ul>
          </section>

          <section class="doc-section" id="architecture">
            <h2>Core technology</h2>
            <p>Autohand is built on self-evolving AI agents that operate autonomously across your development workflow. The platform combines four key technologies:</p>
            <ul>
              <li><strong>Evograph</strong>: An evolutionary graph system that enables agents to learn from every iteration and build compounding knowledge over time.</li>
              <li><strong>Self-improving agents</strong>: Autonomous agents that test, mutate, and improve without human intervention. Each generation builds on the successes of the previous one.</li>
              <li><strong>Ground truth evaluation</strong>: You define the success criteria, and the agents measure every solution against your standards. Only improvements that pass your tests survive to the next generation.</li>
              <li><strong>Cloud-agnostic deployment</strong>: Run Autohand on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or your own infrastructure with no vendor lock-in.</li>
            </ul>
          </section>

          <section class="doc-section" id="installation">

              <li>Algorithm optimization through self-improving agents that discover efficiencies across generations.</li>
              <li>Large-scale code modernization and framework migrations with automated testing and verification.</li>
              <li>Autonomous SRE workflows for incident detection, root cause analysis, and automated remediation.</li>
              <li>Technical debt reduction through continuous code analysis and refactoring.</li>
              <li>Custom AI workflows that integrate with existing tools through Slack, CLI, and API surfaces.</li>
