This guide assumes you have never used Bothive before. You will create an agent, test it, and understand what to do next.

​
1. Create an account

Open Bothive and sign in. The dashboard is your home base: it lists your agents, recent deployments, and the main building blocks of the platform.

​
2. Create an agent

Choose New agent and describe the job in plain language. For example:
Answer support questions using our help articles. Remember the conversation and ask for approval before sending an email.
HiveMind turns the request into a plan. Review the suggested tools, memory, schedule, and approval gates before generating the draft.

​
3. Test before deploying

Open the agent playground and send a few realistic messages. Try a normal request, an unclear request, and a request that should require approval. Fix the draft in the builder until the behavior is predictable.

​
4. Know the important pages

  • Overview shows health, activity, schedules, channels, and environment posture.
  • Data shows bot-scoped memory, knowledge, integrations, and redacted records.
  • Autopilot shows actions waiting for approval.
  • Changes is where shared-bot edits are staged and reviewed.
  • Deployments shows preview, staging, production, and rollback history.
  • Observability shows the trace for each run.

​
5. Choose what to do next

Connect a tool, deploy a channel, invite a teammate, or read the deployment guide. Start small: one useful workflow with a clear approval boundary is better than ten untested capabilities.
