Three pillars. One platform.
Hive unifies development, personal productivity, and security into a single native application that no competitor combines.
Development Excellence
Multi-agent swarm with a Queen coordinator and specialized teams. 11 AI providers with intelligent routing, git worktree isolation, and an autonomous skill marketplace.
- Multi-agent swarm (Queen + Teams)
- 11 AI providers with auto-routing
- Git worktree isolation per team
- Autonomous skill marketplace
Personal Assistant
Email triage, calendar management, smart reminders, and document generation in 7 formats. Your AI handles the busywork so you can focus on what matters.
- Email triage & AI drafting
- Calendar & daily briefings
- Smart reminders (cron, event-triggered)
- Document export (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, +4)
Security First
HiveShield scans every request with 4 layers of protection. PII detection, secrets scanning, vulnerability assessment, and AES-256-GCM encryption. Zero telemetry.
- 4-layer HiveShield protection
- PII & secrets detection (11+ types)
- AES-256-GCM encrypted storage
- Zero telemetry — fully local
See it in action
22 live panels wired to real data. No mock screens — every panel is functional from day one.
AI-powered chat with streaming responses, multi-model support, and intelligent context management.
A swarm that thinks together
Hive's Queen coordinator assigns tasks to specialized agent teams — Architect, Coder, Reviewer, Tester, and Security — each working in isolated git worktrees. They collaborate, review each other's work, and deliver production-ready code.
- Hierarchical Queen + HiveMind architecture
- Teams work in parallel on isolated branches
- Collective memory shared across all agents
- Autonomous skill acquisition — learns what it doesn't know
11 providers. Intelligent routing.
Connect Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, OpenRouter, and more. Hive automatically routes each request to the best model based on complexity, cost, and your learned preferences.
- Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, OpenRouter
- Local: Ollama, LM Studio, LiteLLM
- Complexity-based auto-routing
- Cost tracking & budget enforcement
4 layers between your data and the cloud
Every request passes through HiveShield before it leaves your machine. PII detection catches 11+ sensitive data types. Secrets scanning finds API keys and tokens. Vulnerability assessment blocks prompt injection and jailbreak attempts.
- PII detection (email, SSN, credit cards, +8 more)
- Secrets scanning with risk levels
- Prompt injection & jailbreak detection
- SecurityGateway blocks destructive commands
Gets smarter every time you use it
Hive's learning engine tracks what you accept, reject, and edit. It refines model routing, evolves system prompts, and builds a pattern library from your preferred coding style — all locally, with zero telemetry.
- Outcome tracking (accepted/rejected/edited)
- Prompt evolution with version history
- Pattern library from your coding style
- Self-evaluation every 200 interactions
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Chat, Files, Agents, Kanban, Git Ops, Monitor, Costs, Shield, Learning, Assistant — 22 live panels wired to real data. No mock screens. Every panel is functional from day one.
- Chat with streaming AI responses
- Full Git Ops (staging, commits, PRs, branches)
- Kanban board with drag-and-drop
- Real-time system monitor & cost tracking
Connects to everything
30+ integrations across cloud services, messaging platforms, blockchain networks, AI providers, and smart home devices.
+ OAuth2 (PKCE), MCP Client/Server, Webhooks, P2P Federation
