Buzz: Hive's AI Assistant

Workflows, tips and tricks to help you get work done faster with Buzz.

Written by Michaela Rollings

Buzz is your 24/7 Executive Assistant — Hive’s AI that helps you fulfill automated workflow requests and so much more.

Buzz can plan projects in seconds by bringing AI into your projects — using natural language together with project-management best practices and the context already in your workspace.

Buzz is fully integrated into Action Cards, Hive Mail, Notes, Dashboards, Workflows, and more. Click the purple Buzz button at the top of your Hive view, then prompt Buzz with what you’d like done.

Where Buzz lives in Apps

Open Apps → AI Enabled Workspace to see Buzz AI for your workspace. When it’s active, you’ll see “Buzz AI is active across your workspace.”

  • Buzz Assistant, AI Workflows, AI Dashboards, and Sidekick show as Included.

  • AI Mail and AI Proofing have optional toggles.

Every workspace can use Buzz AI lightly with a monthly allowance included in your Hive plan. That allowance covers chat and other AI surfaces — not chat alone. Admins can review usage under Your Workspace → Buzz AI → AI usage.

Here's a breakdown of what Buzz can do:

Action & Task Management

  • Creating projects & actions from a simple prompt

  • Manage project organization — restructure projects, reassign tasks, and more

  • Edit, create or change Labels, statuses and custom fields — apply labels, statuses, and insert custom fields; search or replace field values

Automations & Workflows

  • Generate custom workflows to run inside Hive — Buzz can create and update automated workflows that execute sequences of actions when triggered

  • Dashboards and reporting — create and update dashboards and widgets, pull workspace statistics, and convert data into visual summaries

  • Activity and goal summaries — summarize recent workspace activity and compute progress toward goals

Scheduling & Communication

  • Calendar integration — search events, retrieve availability, create/update calendar events, and set recurring meetings

  • Email assistant — fetch email threads and draft replies or new emails for you to send; turn on AI Mail from Apps for suggested next steps

  • Messaging and collaboration — insert messages into group chats, manage project communications, and update Notes

  • Reminders — create custom reminders that appear in your bell icon and as a mobile notification

  • Sidekick — meeting prep, live coaching, and post-call follow-ups (desktop). Open from the Sidekick card in Apps

Content Generation & Insights

  • AI document editor and content generator — edit, translate, and advise on text; generate blog posts, newsletters, sales proposals, press releases, and more from short prompts

  • Workspace statistician — pull workspace data to inform decisions with summaries and dashboards

  • Image Generator — turn ideas into visuals inside Hive; images are downloadable
