AI made each task faster. Not running the work.
Hive Teams changes how every team works — software, sales, accounting and more — for the people, the agents and the process that carries both.
Traditional workProcess, but no speed.
AI assistants and copilotsSpeed arrived, control left.
Hive TeamsSpeed, inside the process.
SpeedCapped by headcount. Faster means hiring.A code, email or invoice draft is faster. The gain stays with one person.Agent teams own work in each team's own app — a story, a sequence, an entry — and run in parallel.
KnowledgeIn people's heads and stale docs. It leaves when they do.Context dies with the chat. You re-explain it every time.One knowledge layer every agent reads. Context stays, so it is never rebuilt.
VisibilityStatus waits for the weekly meeting, in every team.Work goes out, a result comes back. The middle is chat history.Every agent has a role and a record: check-in, progress, checks and acceptance.
ScaleCoordination grows faster than the team. Output per person falls.A few assistants help. Many collide and duplicate.Each item has one owner at a time; hand-offs happen on the record. We run our own company this way.
CostSalaries scale linearly with the work.A seat per person, plus usage nobody attributes to the work.Hive credits with every seat, cost per work item, or your own LLM key on Pro and Enterprise.
Approval & recordApprovals live in email and chat; the record is rebuilt for every audit.Nothing stops a draft from going out; nothing records who approved it.Nothing merges, sends, posts or pays without the approval gate your policy defines, and every step is on the record.
