What is 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.

What is My Hours?

My Hours patches XLS timesheet uploads days after adding its audit log.

10.0 introduced configurable timesheet periods with submission, reminders, validation and period-based locking. 10.1 added an account-wide audit log and bulk editing of locked logs, and 10.1.1 fixes XLS timesheet uploads on the Track page. Those changes sit on top of a summer of attendance reports, unpaid breaks, budget alerts, invoicing upgrades and a remote MCP server that lets Claude read and log time.

6.3

Hive lets agents act on proof feedback and puts its tasks inside Claude and ChatGPT.

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

Hive is building a review loop that agents can close: comments and Buzz AI suggestions now have an action path, not just a display. At the same time it is moving its work surface outward through MCP, so tasks show up in third-party assistants. Reporting and mobile UX are getting steady attention alongside both.

◆ Prediction

Expect agents to take on more write actions through the MCP connector, likely creating and updating tasks, as the proofing loop matures.

M5.0

My Hours patches XLS timesheet uploads days after adding its audit log.

◆ Current state

10.0 introduced configurable timesheet periods with submission, reminders, validation and period-based locking. 10.1 added an account-wide audit log and bulk editing of locked logs, and 10.1.1 fixes XLS timesheet uploads on the Track page. Those changes sit on top of a summer of attendance reports, unpaid breaks, budget alerts, invoicing upgrades and a remote MCP server that lets Claude read and log time.

◆ Where it's heading

My Hours is building the controls finance and HR teams expect from payroll-grade time data: periods, locks, approvals and a record of who changed what. Invoicing keeps getting deeper alongside that. The Claude connector remains a secondary interface, and nothing has been added to it since launch.

◆ Prediction

Expect further approval-workflow and export features built on the timesheet periods and audit log, such as payroll exports or multi-step approvals. The entries don't show where the MCP integration goes next.
