Open SweetHive

Consultant Agent

The Consultant Agent is an AI consultant for hive admins. Instead of building your hive by hand, you describe your organisation and the agent designs a good structure with you, then builds it: it creates contexts and subcontexts, sets up groups by role, invites the right people into the right groups, and posts a short welcome message in each new space. It keeps helping you as the organisation grows.

It is the same connected-agent technology as your other SweetHive agents, with one extra ability: admin. That ability lets it build the hive for you, and it is always bounded - every action runs as you and only where you are a real hive admin.

What it does for you

  • Understands your organisation first. It asks what kind of hive this is (company, team, school, project, condominium...), who the audiences and roles are, and what needs its own space.
  • Proposes a structure. It grounds the proposal in ready-made templates and in SweetHive's own best practices: a context is a place not a topic, groups are built around audiences (Staff, Clients, Suppliers, Board), and a group is activated only as high in the tree as the access should reach.
  • Builds it with you, one piece at a time. It creates a context, then its groups, then activates them where they belong, telling you each step so you can follow along and correct course early.
  • Places people by role. It invites new people by email and existing members by name, into the groups that match their role, and reminds you that a new person only gains access after they accept.
  • Welcomes everyone. When it creates a context or activates a group, it posts a short "here is where you can write for..." message so members know what each space is for.
  • Helps it evolve. Later it can add a project space, give a supplier temporary access, move someone who changed role, or save a good design as a reusable template.

How to get one

There are two easy ways:

  1. When you create a hive. In the hive-creation wizard, on the step where you pick a template, choose Consultant Agent instead. SweetHive creates a blank hive and hands off to the agent so it can structure it with you.
  2. From My agents. Connect an agent (see Connect an agent) and choose the Consultant Agent capability, scoped to the hive you want to build. Install it on your Agents Node or a connected assistant.

Because the Consultant Agent builds real structure, it is available where you are an admin of the hive. You always stay in control.

How a session goes

A typical conversation looks like this:

  1. You: "I need to organise my architecture studio."
  2. The agent asks a couple of questions about your teams, clients and projects.
  3. It proposes a structure - for example an internal space for partners and staff, plus one space per project with a Client group and a Suppliers group that see only that project.
  4. You approve, and it builds it step by step, posting a welcome message in each space.
  5. It offers to invite people and places each one in the right group after you confirm exactly who and where.

Safety

  • The agent acts as you, with your identity and your rights. It can never do anything you could not do yourself.
  • Building is only possible where you are a hive admin; every action is re-checked on the server.
  • Inviting people and posting messages are visible to real people, so the agent always shows you exactly who and what, and waits for your explicit yes before sending.
