About Hive
Hive lets agents act on proof feedback and puts its tasks inside Claude and ChatGPT.
Hive is a project management suite with an increasingly strong creative-proofing layer and Buzz, an AI assistant that now spans dashboards, proofing and forms. In two days it shipped PDF text editing in which agents apply review feedback as a new version, review-progress counts in Proofing, Buzz reports on time data, batch-scheduled dashboard reports and a rebuilt mobile action card.
