If you've spent any time deploying AI agents in production, you've felt this:
- The agents work, mostly.
- Nobody on the team knows what they're doing right now.
- Costs show up next month as a surprise.
- Risky actions ship before anyone reviews them.
- Adding a second agent feels like adding a second cron job, tracked nowhere, owned by no one.
The agent layer is fine. The control plane around the agents is what's broken. That's the gap we're building Agent Hive to close.
What Agent Hive is
Agent Hive is a hosted, multi-tenant control center for the AI agents your team is already running. Each customer gets a private, isolated business ("colony") that includes:
- A CEO agent that reads a brief about what you're building and proposes the first hires.
- An issues table so every piece of work is tracked like any other ticket.
- An approvals queue so risky actions don't ship without a human signoff.
- A costs page that's live, not retroactive.
- A Cmd-K command bar so power users can dispatch any action in two keystrokes.
- A real-time dashboard that's pushed over SSE, not polled.
Under the hood, we run our own Hive runtime, the same code that any agent in the colony executes against. Customers never see runtime internals; Agent Hive is the wrapper.
What Agent Hive is not
We are not yet:
- A way to train your own agent. Use Anthropic, OpenAI, or your model of choice; we orchestrate.
- A chat product. Agent Hive is issue-shaped. Threads exist, but they hang off issues.
- A DIY observability tool. Logging is built in; you don't pipe traces to anything.
Why now
Three things changed at the same time:
- The agent loop got reliable enough to give real work to. Claude Sonnet running in a tool-using loop with structured outputs is genuinely production-grade. A year ago it wasn't.
- Per-tenant isolation got cheap. Modern container runtimes, managed Postgres, and encrypted volumes mean we can give every customer a dedicated stack without paying enterprise infra prices.
- Teams started feeling the absence. The first wave of "we built our own agent" projects is hitting "we need a UI for it" and nobody wants to build that UI from scratch.
How fast is this, really?
Sixty to ninety seconds from sign-up to a running CEO agent that's read your brief and is ready to propose hires. We measure it; we link to the screen so you can watch it happen.
Try it
We're in early access. The Free tier is genuinely free, no card required, and includes managed Claude credits. Spin up a business and tell us what you're building.
If you'd rather talk first, we'd love to hear from you. Early-cohort customers get a permanent rate and a direct line to the team.
