A practical guide

Put your AI crew to work.

Hive brings research, planning, collaboration and permission-based PC control into one Windows workspace. Start with a goal, then work with the crew to shape the result.

01 / Research

Get oriented on a topic

Ask Hive to compare options, gather current information, and return a concise answer with sources you can inspect. Follow up to narrow the question or check a claim.

“Compare these options and show me the sources.”

02 / Planning

Turn an idea into a plan

Start with a rough goal. Hive Sparks can help shape the prompt, while Scout and Critic can help build and review a practical sequence of next steps.

“Make a two-week launch plan for a small beta.”

03 / Collaboration

Bring the crew into one chat

Use group chats and agent hand-offs to get different kinds of help in the same conversation: research, a second opinion, or a review before you move on.

“@scout find examples, then ask @critic to review the plan.”

04 / PC control

Ask for a desktop action

Buddy can open apps, click, and type to help complete a task. Hive shows the proposed action and waits for your approval before it runs.

“Open Notepad and draft a checklist for me.”

05 / Deep work

Keep project work together

Attach a project folder through HiveBox, keep chats around the work, and use the Mission Board to save reusable prompts and track follow-ups on your device.

“Review this project brief and list the open decisions.”

06 / Quick help

Get help without breaking focus

Use the Buddy notch and voice input for a quick question while another app is open. Return to the main workspace whenever you need more room.

“Summarize this and give me the next step.”
