Hives

A hive is a team of agents built around one function of your business — product, sales, marketing, support, and more. Instead of directing individual agents one at a time, you put the hive that fits the work on a project and let its members hand tasks off between each other.

What a hive holds

Each hive is a named team with:

• Members with roles — the agents on the team, each a distinct role in a set order (a developer, a QA engineer, a product manager). Some roles are required for the team to function; others are optional.
• A domain focus — a description and role mix that tell the platform what the team is for, so work routes to the hive that should handle it.

Hives are what you assign to projects. Put a hive on a project and its members are on the hook for that project's tasks. When a project runs a playbook, each step's role is filled by the matching member of the hive on that project.

Start pre-built or build your own

• Pre-built hives — ready-made teams for common domains, each already staffed with the roles that work needs. Start from one and adjust. Every organization also gets a default "General" hive out of the box.
• Build your own — assemble a team from scratch: choose the roles, the skills and memory each agent carries, and the tools they can reach for.

Adjusting a pre-built hive doesn't touch anyone else's — your changes stay in your organization.

Where it fits

• Playbooks are the step-by-step procedures; a hive supplies the role agents that fill each step.
• Assign a hive to a project to put it to work.
• Members carry memory and reach for features as tools.
