Why teams run Claude inside Autohive

One model isn't a strategy

Claude is brilliant at writing and analysis. But the best model for images, research or high-volume work changes every few weeks. In Autohive, each agent runs on the model that suits the job, and you can switch without rebuilding anything.

Your whole company, not just your Claude fans

Claude Team plans are priced per seat, up to 150 members. Autohive includes unlimited seats on every plan, so operations, sales, finance and frontline staff work in the same workspaces as your power users, alongside your agents.

From a task to a business process

Claude Cowork is great at taking on one person's task. Autohive turns the jobs your business repeats into agents, scheduled jobs and step-by-step workflows with approvals, webhooks and channels that belong to the team, not one person's account.

Claude is a great model. Autohive is where your business puts it to work.

Claude Cowork gives each person a capable AI agent. Autohive gives the whole business a shared system, with Claude included. Here's how they compare today.

Example

A 60-person agency already has 10 Claude seats and wants weekly client reports

The Autohive Way

Day 1:

An account manager describes the report to Agent Creator. The agent pulls data from HubSpot and Google Analytics, writes with Claude and builds the charts in its own workspace.

Week 1:

The agent becomes a workflow that runs every Monday, waits for the account lead's approval, then posts each report to the client's Slack channel.

Week 2:

The rest of the agency joins at no extra seat cost. The reporting skill is shared across the plan, so every team writes reports the same way.

Month 1:

A lower-cost model gathers the data and Claude keeps the writing. Owners see hours saved for each agent on the Home dashboard.

Result:

A reviewed, repeatable process the whole agency owns, with Claude still doing what it does best.

The Claude Way

Day 1:

A Claude power user builds a strong Cowork task for their own clients and schedules it to run every week.

Week 1:

The reports are excellent. Other account managers need their own seats to set up and run the same thing.

Week 2:

Instructions are shared through projects and skills, but each scheduled task runs from someone's own account, and checking reports before they go out is a manual step.

Month 1:

Every step runs on Claude, including the ones a cheaper or specialised model could handle.

Result:

Great output for the people with seats: a personal routine rather than a business process.

No. Autohive is a platform for running AI across a business: shared workspaces, agents, scheduled jobs, workflows with approvals, webhooks, chat channels, permissions, an audit log and 140+ integrations. Claude is one of the models it can use.
