# Weco Documentation

> Weco is production-grade autoresearch: point it at your code and an evaluation metric, and an automated research loop (AIDE) searches, tests, and ships measurable improvements as auditable, version-controlled code.

Weco AI builds recursively self-improving AI. The `weco` CLI wraps the open-source AIDE agent with orchestration, steerability, and observability so teams can run the autoresearch loop in production — improving agent harnesses, prompts, ML models, and other performance-critical code against any metric you can measure.

## Getting Started

- [Introduction](https://docs.weco.ai/): What Weco does and how the optimization loop works.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.weco.ai/quickstart): Install and run your first optimization.
- [How Weco works](https://docs.weco.ai/concepts/how-weco-works): The AIDE tree-search loop.
- [Optimize with the CLI](https://docs.weco.ai/reference/optimize-with-cli): The `weco run` reference.
- [Track any loop](https://docs.weco.ai/using-weco/track-any-loop): Observe external experiments in the Weco dashboard.
- [Steerability](https://docs.weco.ai/using-weco/steerability): Guide the search with instructions and exemplars.
