# OpenHive

> Run agent colonies that do real work — research, outreach, and CRM operations — from a desktop app.

OpenHive is a desktop application for running **agent colonies**: groups of AI agents
that coordinate on long-running business workflows instead of one-off chat turns.

You describe an objective. OpenHive spins up a colony, assigns the work to specialized
agents, and runs it — driving a browser, calling tools, writing to your CRM, and sending
email as it goes. Work persists across sessions, so a colony you start today is still
running the same playbook next week.

## What you can build

* **Lead generation** — pull candidate companies from data sources, score and rank them
  by fit, enrich contacts with emails and LinkedIn profiles.
* **Outbound sequences** — draft personalized outreach, run multichannel campaigns, and
  track replies in the built-in CRM and Inbox.
* **Browser-driven work** — agents operate a real browser session, so they can work
  inside tools that have no API.

## How it fits together

OpenHive runs as a desktop app on your machine. The agent runtime executes locally, so
browser sessions and credentials stay on your computer, while OpenHive Cloud handles
your account, workspace sync, billing, and shared libraries.
