> AI-assisted project management with chat, notes and proofing

Hive is a project and work management platform that keeps projects, tasks, chat, notes, email and proofing in one workspace. Work can be viewed as Kanban, Gantt, calendar, table and portfolio layouts, and workflows automate repeatable steps. An in-workspace AI assistant called Buzz draws on a monthly credit allowance. There is a free plan for up to 10 members, and several capabilities are sold as paid add-ons.
