This Week in Autohive: Slack, New Models, Live Presence, and More

This week gives teams more ways to bring Autohive into the tools where work already happens. Slack as a Chat Channel is now live for all users, so you can connect your agents directly to Slack from your profile menu. We’ve also added Gorgias and Klaviyo integrations, bringing customer support and email marketing tools into Autohive workflows.

There’s more choice on the AI side too. xAI Grok and Fireworks AI models are now available, giving teams more options for choosing the right model for a task. Shared conversations also feel more collaborative, with live presence showing who’s viewing and typing, plus group chat agents that can respond autonomously when it makes sense.

Everything We Shipped This Week

✨ Improvements

• Smarter Group Chat Agent Responses: Agents in group conversations can now respond autonomously. No need to @ mention them every time, they’ll chime in when it makes sense.
