This page covers everything an owner or admin does in a new workspace: sign-up, the trial, onboarding, invitations and the first connections. If you just want the fastest path, follow the [Quickstart](/get-started/quickstart). ## Sign up Hive uses a hosted sign-in on its own domain. Go to [app.get-hive.ai](https://app.get-hive.ai), choose **Sign up**, and use a sign-in method your organisation allows. After signing in you come back to Hive's home screen, Ask Hive. ## Create your workspace A **workspace** is your company's private space in Hive: its members, connections, Brain, signals, workflows and billing. Data never crosses between workspaces. * If a colleague invited you, accepting the invite puts you straight into their workspace. * To create a new workspace, open the workspace menu and choose **Switch workspace → New workspace**. * The person who creates the workspace becomes its **Owner**. You can belong to more than one workspace and switch between them from the workspace menu. If you see **Waiting for an administrator**, your membership needs to be reviewed before you can sign in. **Your access to this workspace has ended** means an administrator removed you. Ask a workspace owner or admin in either case. ## Your 14-day trial Every new workspace starts a **14-day trial**: * **£5 of model credit for each active member**, pooled for the workspace. * **No card required**, and nothing is created in the payment system during the trial. * The trial cannot be restarted or extended by re-creating it. When the trial ends, Hive shows **Your trial has ended**. Your data is kept; owners and admins subscribe from **Billing** to restore access. Members without billing rights are asked to contact an admin. See [Trial and payments](/admin/trial-and-payments) and [Billing and plans](/admin/billing-and-plans). ## Onboarding Owners and admins see a short first-run setup the first time they open a new workspace. **Welcome to Hive** explains what Hive will set up: a tour of every core module, useful context built from your public website, and personalised connector recommendations. Choose **Personalize Hive**. Answer **What is your primary company website?** Hive researches it to understand your company, seed low-trust context in the Business Brain, and recommend the connectors most relevant to you. Research continues in the background while you tour. Choose **Start guided tour**. A five-stop tour on real product pages, with **Back**, **Next** and **Finish tour**: 1. **Ask Hive** — ask questions across your connected business systems. 2. **Business Brain** — see what Hive knows about your business. 3. **Signals** — catch risks and opportunities before anyone asks. 4. **Channels** — choose where Hive communicates with your team. 5. **Connectors** — connect the systems that make Hive useful. Website findings start as **untrusted** context. They help Hive understand your business, but they are weighted below facts from your own systems and never authorise anything on their own. See [Business Brain](/brain/business-brain). ## Invite your team Only **Owners** and **Admins** can invite people. Choose **Invite users** in the workspace menu, or go to **Settings → Members**. Choose **Invite people**, enter a work email (for example `name@company.com`) and pick an **Access level**. Invited people show as **invited** until they accept, then **active**. Pick the least access each person needs. You cannot invite someone at a role higher than your own. See [Roles and permissions](/admin/roles-and-permissions). | Role | Typical person | | - | - | | **Owner** | Usually the founder; full control | | **Admin** | Runs the workspace: members, connectors, policy, billing | | **Department lead** | Runs a department; approves up to B3 | | **Operator** | Does the work; approves up to B2 | | **Analyst** | Read-only | ## Connect your first tools Open **Integrations → Add integration** and connect the tools where work most often slips. Personal accounts need the provider enabled for the workspace first — when an admin connects a provider, it is enabled for everyone. Every account starts on **Read**. See [Connect an app](/integrations/connect-an-app) and [Accounts and autonomy](/integrations/accounts-and-autonomy). If your team works in Slack or Microsoft Teams, an admin can also install Hive there so people can ask questions from chat. See [Slack and Teams](/integrations/slack-and-teams). ## The Get Started checklist Everyone has a **Get Started** checklist under **Settings → Account → Get Started**. Tasks are grouped by area — Set-up workspace (logo, company description, inviting colleagues and more), then Chat, Agents, Integrations, Skills, Scheduled tasks, Library, Projects, the Prompt Library and Workflows — and many of them earn points. Below them, **Initial workspace setup** records whether Hive has your company website and whether the guided tour is finished. Admins can turn the checklist on or off under **Settings → Workspace → User onboarding**. ## Set your guardrails Before you give Hive any autonomy, owners and admins should review **Settings → Products → Governance** (the Policy & autonomy page): the per-action autonomy ladder, money guardrails and the kill switch. Hive starts cautious; you decide when it may do more. See [Safety and control](/admin/safety-and-control). ## Related Manage members, removal and seats. Everything under Settings, section by section.
