Buzz is Hive’s AI assistant. It can help with everyday tasks, organize work, find information, and support larger projects. You can ask Buzz in plain language, just as you would ask a teammate.
Here are common ways people use Buzz.

Buzz can help locate work across your Hive workspace.

Buzz can help search through available Hive information and connected content.
“What did we agree to in the last customer meeting?”

15. Create repeatable automations
For more advanced use cases, Buzz can help automate recurring work across Hive and connected tools.
“Whenever a customer meeting is completed, create follow-up actions based on the meeting notes.”
“Every Friday, summarize completed actions and send me the key updates.”
“When a new form request is submitted, create an action with the request details and route it to the right project.”
Tips for getting better results
Be specific about the outcome. Say what you want Buzz to produce or change.
Include a deadline or owner when those details matter.
Mention the relevant project, action, customer, or meeting if there could be multiple matches.
Ask for a format, such as a checklist, table, summary, email, or action plan.
Start with a rough request. You can always ask Buzz to revise the result.
Buzz works best when you treat it like a teammate who can help organize information, prepare work, and take the next step with you.
