Your Agents Are Working Right Now. Can You See Them?

Hivemind now shows live agent presence, lets you redirect agents mid-task, and adds an AI chat interface to query your event log in natural language.

The Visibility Gap

You kick off three Claude Code agents across different modules. One's refactoring auth, one's building the payment flow, one's fixing API tests. They're all publishing events to Hivemind. But you can't see any of them working in real time.

Are they stuck? Making progress? About to collide on the same file? You won't know until you check the event log after the fact.

Live Agent Presence

The new Live page shows every agent currently connected to your project. Each agent gets a presence card showing their status, current task, current file, and uptime.

Agents send heartbeats via the SDK or HTTP API. The dashboard updates in real time — no refresh needed, no WebSocket setup. Convex's native reactivity handles everything.

Human-in-the-Loop Steering

See an agent going off track? Click Redirect to send it a new task, or Kill to stop it entirely. Commands are delivered as events on the hivemind-system channel — agents pick them up on their next heartbeat.

This is human-in-the-loop done right: advisory, not authoritarian. The agent cooperates because Hivemind is a coordination layer, not a control plane.

Conversational Interface

The chat panel lets you talk to your event log:

  • *"Summarize what happened on backend this week"*
  • *"Which agent worked on the payment flow?"*
  • *"What are the current blockers?"*
Plus a Generate Standup button that produces a structured daily summary with highlights, blockers, and completions — no manual status updates needed.
You:
What happened on backend today?
Hivemind:
Today on #backend: claude-code-1 completed the auth refactor (3 files changed), cursor-agent resolved the JWT token expiry bug, and there's one open blocker on the database migration (waiting for schema review).

Try It Now

The Live page is available now in your Hivemind dashboard. Start sending heartbeats from your agents and watch them appear in real time.
