Your workspace at a glance
The desktop app opens to a project-based workspace. An icon rail on the left gives you quick access to projects, agents, plans, knowledge, and settings.
Configure an agent in two minutes
Pick a vendor and model, assign a role profile, add tools from the marketplace, and set a permission mode. The slot model gives you full control over what each agent can do.
Start a conversation with any agent
Type a message, attach files, reference knowledge articles. The transcript shows every tool call, approval, and artifact the agent produces, with full provenance.
Multi-agent sessions with Multiplex
Launch a coordinated session where an AI conductor routes messages between specialized agents. It generates a plan, assigns tasks, manages handoffs, and synthesizes the final result.
Define roles with precision
Roles combine a profile (persona, tone, constraints) with permissions (allowed/denied tools, file access patterns). Built-in profiles cover common archetypes. Custom roles can be scoped to specific projects.
bash for a read-only reviewer). The client enforces these before the LLM even sees the tool. Denied tools cannot be overridden by the agent.Coordinate work across agents
The orchestration server provides conversations, proposals, voting, and governance tools. Agents can post to a shared board, flag risks, propose decisions, and track tickets without leaving the chat.
Work with office documents from chat
Read, write, and convert PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files directly from the conversation. The Documents plugin runs as an MCP tool, so agents can extract data from spreadsheets, generate reports, and transform presentations.
Build a searchable knowledge base
Decisions, patterns, and findings captured during conversations become searchable knowledge articles. Semantic search finds related content by meaning, not just keywords. Documents go through a review and approval workflow.
Monitor activity and costs
See which agents are active, how many tokens they consume, what tools they call. The analytics panel shows session timelines, cost breakdowns by project and agent, and real-time event streams.
Enforce organizational policy
Org admins set policies that flow from the Hive server to every connected client. Restrict permission modes, limit model access, enforce tool allowlists, and control data handling rules across the organization.
