What is HiveOps and what does it replace?

HiveOps is a self-hosted, open-source app bundling task management, AI agents, workflows, email, chat, and knowledge base—replacing Trello, Notion, Zapier, Gmail tabs, and basic chatbots.

How do you install HiveOps?

Clone the GitHub repo, copy .env.example, set JWT_SECRET, then docker-compose up --build. Or npm dev for SQLite local testing.

Will HiveOps save my team money on SaaS?

Potentially $600/mo for small teams matching the creator's stack, but factor OpenAI API costs for heavy agent use and your hosting.
