Hive’s AI-enabled workspace brings an AI layer directly into the flow of your team’s work, helping you move faster across projects, messages, email, approvals, dashboards, meetings, and more.
Instead of switching tools or manually sorting through workspace information, you can use AI and Buzz to summarize context, draft content, create actions, surface insights, and turn everyday work into clear next steps.
Every workspace can use Buzz AI lightly with a monthly allowance included in your Hive plan. Open Apps to see the full set of AI experiences in one place.
How to find AI Enabled Workspace
Open Apps from your Hive sidebar.
At the top, find the AI Enabled Workspace section.
When Buzz AI is active, you’ll see: “Buzz AI is active across your workspace.”
You’ll see a grid of AI feature cards:
Cards labeled Included are ready to use with your workspace AI allowance.
Cards with a toggle (AI Mail, AI Proofing) can be turned on when you want those experiences.
Tip: If something looks out of date, refresh Hive and return to Apps — the AI Enabled Workspace section is the source of truth for what’s available.
Which apps does this include?
1. Buzz Assistant (Included)
Buzz Chat is the interface where you talk to Buzz. Buzz Assistant on the Apps page represents that workspace AI assistant experience — drafting, summarizing, creating actions, and helping you complete work with Hive context.
2. AI Workflows (Included)
Add AI-powered steps to your workspace workflows so Buzz can help generate work, summarize, or move processes forward as part of automation.
3. AI Dashboards (Included)
AI Dashboards is the Buzz-assisted layer for Hive Dashboards. It helps you create, interpret, and refine reporting — and ask questions about the work behind the charts.
Feature | What it does |
Dashboard creation help | Turn a reporting question into widgets, metrics, and filters |
Chart suggestions | Recommend visualizations for your data |
Metric summaries | Explain what a dashboard is showing in plain language |
Trend interpretation | Spot changes, bottlenecks, risks, and outliers |
Follow-up questions | Ask things like “which projects are most at risk?” |
Actionable next steps | Turn insights into actions or updates |
4. Sidekick
An always-on AI assistant for calls — agendas, goals, live coaching, and next steps. Best with the Hive desktop app. Use Open on the Sidekick card, or see the Sidekick help article for shortcuts and permissions.
5. AI Mail (Toggle On)
The AI layer for working with email inside Hive and Hive Mail.
Common uses include drafting replies, summarizing threads, pulling out next steps, turning emails into Hive actions, helping prioritize messages, and using workspace context when relevant.
Important: Buzz can help create or edit email drafts for you to review, but does not directly send emails on your behalf.
Turn AI Mail on from the Apps card (personal setting). Connect Hive Mail first if you haven’t already.
6. AI Proofing (Toggle On)
The AI layer for Hive’s Proofing & Approvals workflow. Buzz helps summarize proofs, extract feedback, compare revisions, and turn comments into actions.
Turn AI Proofing on from the Apps card (workspace setting). If Proofing & Approvals isn’t enabled yet, Hive will guide you through enabling that app first. Workspace admins configure project scope and guidelines under Your Workspace → Buzz AI → AI Proofing.
How usage fits together
Your monthly AI allowance covers activity across these surfaces — chat, mail, proofing, dashboards, workflows, Sidekick, and more — not just chat. Light everyday use is what the included allowance is for. Admins can review usage under Your Workspace → Buzz AI → AI usage and add capacity if the team needs more.
