Think of Autohive’s agent ecosystem as your personal directory of AI teammates — each one specialised, ready to collaborate, and designed to make your workday genuinely better.

Meet your extended team

The agent ecosystem gives you access to a growing library of AI specialists:

  • Ready-to-work agents: Pre-built AI specialists, each trained for specific tasks and industries, available immediately from the Marketplace.
  • Community contributions: Agents shared by other Autohive creators who have solved similar challenges.
  • Custom teammates: Agents you build yourself, configured with the exact tools, knowledge, and instructions your workflows need.

Finding agents: the Agents section

The Agents section is where you discover and manage the agents in your workspace.

  • Getting there: Select a workspace, then click Agents in the top navigation.
  • Browse the Marketplace: Click Browse Marketplace to explore pre-built agents. Each agent has a short description explaining what it does and how it can help.
  • Search: Use the search field to find agents by name within your workspace.

Your go-to crew: the agents sidebar

Once agents are added to your workspace, they appear in the Agents sidebar for quick access.

  • Instant access: Your agents are always one click away — no hunting through menus.
  • Start a chat: Click any agent in the sidebar to open a conversation.
  • Agent options: Use the three-dot menu on any agent to access settings or remove it from the sidebar.

Working with agents

Interacting with agents feels natural:

  • Conversational: Chat normally in the main window or @mention a specific agent to bring their expertise into a conversation.
  • Group chats: Add multiple agents and team members to a single conversation to combine specialisations.
  • Smart tools: Agents use the integrations and knowledge you’ve configured for them — they’ll tell you if they need anything additional to complete a task.
