Project Management · hive.com
Overview
Hive is a project management and team collaboration platform that combines task management, multiple project views (Kanban, Gantt, calendar, and table), native chat and video, time tracking, and AI-assisted automation in a single workspace. Teams use it to plan projects, assign and track action items, share files, and communicate without switching between separate apps. Hive integrates with over 1,000 tools, including Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, and Google Drive, and offers both a free tier and paid plans for growing teams.
The problem Hive solves
Growing teams often end up juggling a separate task tracker, a chat app, a video-calling tool, and a handful of point solutions for time tracking or file sharing, losing context every time work crosses tool boundaries. Hive solves this by combining project views, native chat and video, email, and AI-assisted automation into one workspace, so teams plan, discuss, and execute from a single screen instead of switching between apps.
