What does Evolver do?

Evolver helps encode and reuse agent improvement patterns as Genes, Capsules, and Events instead of leaving them as informal prompt changes.

Is Evolver open source?

The repository currently reports GPL-3.0, and the README says future releases will move toward source-available licensing. Review the exact version before adoption.

Who should use Evolver?

Evolver is best for AI agent researchers and developers building agent evolution workflows. It is not a general chatbot app.

Evolver: Self-evolution engine that turns prompt tweaks into asse

Agent improvement often happens as scattered prompt edits, hidden system messages, and one-off experiments that cannot be audited or reused. That makes it hard to know which change improved behavior, which failure pattern it addressed, or whether the same lesson can transfer to another agent.

Evolver addresses a research-heavy workflow, not a mainstream app workflow. Teams need to understand the project's terminology and license direction before adopting it as infrastructure.
