Workflows
Saved agents in Parallel agents steps. Each agent in a Parallel agents step can now be a
deployed Agent Studio agent instead of inline instructions, with the same input and account
mappings as a Saved agent step and its own retries and run receipt. See
Parallel agents.
New documentation site
The Hive documentation has been rebuilt from scratch. It now covers every module — Ask Hive, Signals, approvals and autonomy, the Business Brain, Workflows, Agent Studio, integrations, administration, billing and security — plus developer references, use cases and a blog.Old links redirect to their new pages.
Agents and Ask
- Agent Studio agents now use deeper reasoning when they return structured output, and a failed run tells you what kind of provider problem stopped it.
- Workflow-generated images are kept in your Library.
- Ask Hive now tells you when a live lookup failed and the answer relies on stored data: “Live sources were not checked”.
- Actions prepared from Ask show where Hive’s memory came from on the action card.
Built-in workflow templates
Every built-in template in the gallery — New Client Onboarding, Email Keeper, Fee Reminder, Meeting to Tasks, Ticket Triage, Website Summariser and Renewal Scout — can now be deployed and run as it comes, and each step’s fields can be edited from the side panel. See Templates.
Workflows, Xero and the Business Brain
- A live workflow with a manual trigger has a Run now button that runs the live release.
- Xero overdue invoices are judged in your Xero organisation’s own time zone, so an invoice due today is never flagged early.
- The Brain inspector can answer “How is this connected to…” — the chain of links between two things Hive knows about.
Workflow builder refresh
The workflow builder has a new canvas and step cards, test runs straight from the builder, an owner shown on every workflow, and run receipts that name each step by its title. Delete or Backspace removes a selected step, snap-to-grid is on by default and the zoom rail can auto-arrange the canvas. See Workflow builder.
Parallel agents and Create PDF steps
- Parallel agents runs two to five agents side by side and combines their answers.
- Create PDF turns Markdown into a PDF saved to your Library.
- The + Describe composer accepts attached files when you ask the assistant to draft a workflow.
- Run status updates in real time.
Sharing, comments and billing
- Share chats, workflows and agents with named teammates, and comment on shared chats.
- Workflow test runs work on drafts, and every run in the workspace is listed in one feed.
- The billing screen has a simpler inline plan picker and seat control. See Billing and plans.
Personal connector accounts
Each member can connect their own accounts once an Admin has enabled a provider, and connections belong to the member who made them. Workflows and agents can be shared privately with named teammates. See Accounts and autonomy.
Workflow error handling
Each workflow step can have its own error setting — retry, stop, or continue with an empty output — and the agent step can use web search. See Runs and errors.
