What shipped, when, and what changed because of it

Hive 1.0 ships today. After Sprint D and Sprint E §1+§2 closed cleanly, we ran an independent re-audit (AUDIT-v5) and pulled the GA trigger. The early-access cohort moves to GA pricing on the same colony — no migration needed.

What's in 1.0

• P0 + P1 parity with the Hive runtime on every customer-facing screen. Dashboard, inbox, issues, agents, approvals, costs, projects, workspaces, goals, routines, activity, org chart — all 26 screens.
• SSE multiplex bridge with two real consumers (workspace logs, issue runtime). Replaces what used to be a 2s polling loop with a single channel-aware stream per browser tab. Last-Event-ID resume, exponential backoff, transcript redaction.
• 64 customer-facing app + marketing pages. 51 gateway aggregator endpoints. 88 BFF mutation routes. 44 parity Playwright specs.
• packages/billing BillingProvider abstraction. Stripe today; Metronome v2-ready behind one interface so a future swap stays a single-file change.
• WCAG-AA contrast pass on the dark-mode tokens and a brighter Pulse with density variants.
• All five CI gates green on every commit: lint, typecheck, test, design (Impeccable 27-rule detector), and the new audit-hygiene doc-drift gate.

Plugin marketplace ships v1.1 (Sprint F).

Plugins are explicitly deferred to v1.1 (Sprint F, multi-week). Until then, every workspace runs the full 26-endpoint plugin system in headless mode against the colony's runtime — installable via the CLI, hidden from the dashboard. The wait is deliberate: we want a real plugin author shipping the first listing alongside us, not a marketplace shell.

What's next (v1.0.1, post-launch week)

Sprint E §1 has four more "alive" consumers queued: live agent transcripts on the agent-detail Runs drawer, live runtime transcripts on issue detail, dashboard SSE, and org-chart presence. Plus the run-detail page, watchdog decisions UI, project-detail per-tab routing, issue heartbeat-context viewer, /inbox/new quick-create, task sessions list, /u/:slug profile, and the agent-hires endpoint. None of these block GA; they're polish.

How to use 1.0

If you're already in the early-access cohort, your colony lifts to GA automatically. Pricing on the founding cohort stays locked. New signups land on the GA tier at agenthive.co.

For technical evaluators who want to see what's under the hood: AGENTS.md is the build context, AUDIT-v5.md is the source of truth for shipped state, and DESIGN.md is the design system.

A few days after launch we shipped a sprint of visual + content work end-to-end: a vibrant new color system, real WebGL on the home page, cinematic signup, a first-run dashboard takeover, dense expansions to the templates and integrations catalogs, and in-app browsable directories for both.

Visual rebrand

• Vibrant per-category accents. Eight new accent token triples (marketing, engineering, finance, media, ops, support, sales, research) tuned for AA contrast in light + dark. Cards and detail pages color-shift by category instead of using a single house honey.
• 3D primitives library. New apps/web/src/components/3d/ ships <SceneCanvas>, <LazyScene>, usePrefersReducedMotion, and useWebGLSupported. Every R3F scene goes through the same DPR clamp, frameloop policy, and reduced-motion / no-WebGL fallback chain.
• Home hero. The marketing home page now renders an animated gradient-mesh shader behind the SVG honeycomb. Brand-tinted hue blobs drift across UV space; honeycomb stays the structural layer; title typography sits in clear visual space on the left.
• Site-wide card tilt. New <TiltCard> wraps IntegrationCard, TemplateCard, and BlogPostCard with framer-motion springs and a cursor-tracked highlight. Reduced-motion renders flat.
• Ambient gradient mesh on every hero. Soft animated mesh wash behind every hero (not just the home page) ties the brand together without competing with content.

Content expansions

• Templates: 22 → 28. Six new high-quality business templates: indie game studio, devtool SaaS, recruiting agency, bookkeeping firm, B2B newsletter, local-service marketplace, consultancy firm. Each ships full org charts, agents, routines, integrations, workflows, and now a stack field listing required external SaaS plus a tokensPerMonth estimate.
• Integrations: 62 → 92. 30 new connectors across deploy hosts (Render, Railway, Fly, Heroku, Netlify, Cloudflare), AI APIs (Anthropic, Mistral, Cohere, Together, Hugging Face, Perplexity), CRM (Pipedrive, Close, Apollo, Attio), analytics (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, June, Tinybird, ClickHouse), billing (Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, Polar), comms (Twilio, SendGrid, Loops, Discord), productivity (Asana, Trello, ClickUp, monday), and design (Canva, Framer).
• Per-integration detail pages. Every integration now has its own page at /integrations/[slug] with a tools list (category-aware MCP shape), OAuth scopes, sample agents, templates that ship with it pre-wired, a connect-in-30s flow, and a code preview.
• Total monthly cost on every template. Detail pages show the all-in number — Hive plan + LLM tokens + your customer-paid SaaS stack — at a glance.

In-app additions

• Templates directory. Browse all 28 templates inside the workspace at /templates and import any of them with one click. Detail pages show agents, integrations, and the same all-in cost summary.
• Integrations directory. /integrations inside the app lists every connector grouped by category. Detail pages have a Connect button wired to a placeholder OAuth kickoff that logs interest until each connector lights up.
• Catalog nav section. AppShell sidebar gets a new Catalog group with Templates and Integrations.

Signup + first-run

• Cinematic 3D org-chart assembly. A new step-assemble onboarding step runs after role selection: ~9-second animation across five phases (reading the brief → naming the company → hiring CEO → adding leadership → filling the roster). Deterministic template-matching keyword routing picks the closest match from the catalog.
• First-run dashboard takeover. Fresh workspaces land on a persistent 3D org chart with a side-panel activity feed and suggested first issues. Dismisses on click or after 60s with a smooth scale-fade into the standard dashboard.
• Reduced-motion fallback. Every cinematic surface degrades to a clean static SVG org chart when prefers-reduced-motion is set or WebGL is unavailable.

Polish

• Vibrant gradient skeletons. New .skeleton-gradient utility replaces the plain gray pulse on loading states with a brand-honey shimmer.
• Glassmorphism utilities. .glass-panel for translucent surfaces over the gradient mesh; --surface-glass and --border-glass tokens keep tints consistent.
• Sitemap. Now indexes every dynamic route — 28 templates + 92 integrations + blog + changelog + legal — past 200 URLs total.

The whole sprint shipped continuously to main so every change deployed immediately. If you joined Hive at launch and have been seeing the changes land in real time, this is the recap. Otherwise: head to agenthive.co, sign up, and the first thing you'll see is your CEO orb glowing at the center of your team's org chart.

Hive is now in early access. Sign up at agenthive.co and you'll have a private, isolated AI operations center running in less than a minute.

What's in v1

• One-minute provisioning. Every workspace gets its own dedicated runtime, Postgres database, encrypted volume, and IPs. We provision in under 90 seconds.
• Briefable CEO agent. Tell us what you're building during onboarding and your CEO agent reads the brief before its first heartbeat.
• Dashboard. Live KPI tiles for agents, issues, approvals, and spend. Real-time over polling.
• Issues. Linear-quality table with virtualized rows, faceted filters, and keyboard navigation.
• Approvals. Single-key triage with risk and dollar badges.
• Costs. Per-agent, per-model breakdown with Recharts trends.
• Inbox. Unified queue of issues and approvals, j/k/e keyboard-first.
• Cmd-K. Real search across your colony's agents and issues.

What's next

• Bring-your-own LLM keys (parked for v2).
• Per-org subdomains (parked for v2).
• Real Stripe billing on top of the credit-tracking we ship today.
• Mobile pass.
