  In this survey paper we give an overview of a generalization, introduced by
R. Bautista and the author, of the theory of mutation of quivers with potential
developed in 2007 by Derksen-Weyman-Zelevinsky. This new construction allows us
to consider finite dimensional semisimple $F$-algebras, where $F$ is any field.
We give a brief account of the results concerning this generalization and its
main consequences.
