Hive has launched Buzz, positioning it as the first AI agent designed to function as a tireless intern. Unlike standard assistants, Buzz is built to not just draft replies but to actively perform work by translating decisions into assigned next steps. In its beta phase, users reported cutting their inbox time by 37% and reclaiming an average of eight hours per week.
