What is HiveBase Tasks?+
One place your agent work runs. You hand over a job — code, content, or general operations — and HiveBase briefs it from your company's own context, runs it across the AI subscriptions you already pay for, has the result checked by a different model family, and brings back the decisions that are actually yours. Everything it does leaves a receipt you can open and, where the action reverses, undo.
What's a Mission?+
One job that survives the harness it runs on. A session lives in one window with one tool; a mission holds the brief, the plan, the waves running across different engines, the verification, and the receipt. So “the auth refactor” stays one thing instead of becoming three sessions in three apps — which is what breaks once you are running more than about four at a time.
How does it answer my agents without asking me?+
From what your company already decided. The Supervisor reads your Brain — the conventions in your repo, the threads where a call was made, the documents your team keeps current, the notes from the meeting — and answers in the window that asked, with the source attached, so any answer can be checked. When nothing on record settles a question, or the answer would change something customers feel or cannot be undone, it brings the question to you instead of guessing. Your answer is recorded, so the same question is not asked twice.
Can it act without asking me?+
It starts supervised. What it may do without asking is earned one kind of work at a time, and one-way doors — a merge, an external send, a migration that drops a column — stay held until you say otherwise. You set the bar per kind of work. Approval gates what it does, never what it learns.
What does a run cost?+
Reads are free. The work is included in your plan, and an extra run is quoted before it starts, so you see the number and decide. You are never billed for work you did not approve.
How is this different from a ticket tracker?+
Trackers coordinate humans. A mission is an execution contract for agents: versioned acceptance criteria, holds, independent verification, and a sealed receipt bound to the exact change. The board is what you look at; the contract is what runs.
Does it keep my board clean?+
Yes, as it works — you do not configure it. It picks up asks from Slack, merges duplicates, retires tasks whose work already shipped, and re-ranks from live signal. Every move leaves a receipt, the reversible ones can be undone, and a bulk change such as archiving idle tasks waits for you until you decide it doesn't have to.
Do I have to move my board?+
No. HiveBase reads the board you already run and proposes changes as something you can see and reverse — it does not become your source of truth, and removing it leaves your records intact. Linear is the integration we took furthest; it is in beta.
Coding, content, general — are those separate products?+
No. Same job object, three kinds of work, three different things to end in. Code ends in a pull request held for your merge, content in a draft that struck out what it could not source, general in a reply you press send on. The depth for each lives on /tasks/code, /tasks/content and /tasks/general.
