How it works
Understand Agent Bee’s context, approvals, and sources.
Core ideas
- Agent Bee uses your current workspace context to guide suggestions.
- It can propose actions, but Actions mode and explicit approval are required to apply changes.
- Responses can include Sources and Actions for transparency and next steps.
Prompt input basics
- The prompt box shows: Ask Agent Bee anything… (type @ to mention).
- Type @ to reference pages, flows, products, and other resources.
- Use Add image… to attach screenshots or visual context.
- During Bee-guided setup, use the microphone button when it is easier to talk through your launch goal or brand notes.
- You can type and send another message while Bee is responding. The message is queued for the next turn so you can add context without waiting for the current response to finish.
- Use Stop to interrupt the current response. Text already shown remains in the conversation, and you can send a revised request.
- Code blocks and tables in Bee responses include copy controls, so you can copy a single snippet or table without copying the whole message.
Quick actions
Quick actions appear above the prompt and change based on where you are in the app. Use them to launch guided flows like:
- Edit Page Copy (Bee)
- Create Funnel
- Create Email Flow
- Import Brand
- Migrate Page
- Open Plans
Scheduled work with Routines
When Routines are available for your account, Agent Bee can follow a saved brief on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. Custom setup stays conversational: Bee proposes the name, timing, and exact work first, then asks for approval before creating the routine.
New routines keep publishing and sending actions in draft-for-review mode. Manage schedules, manual runs, and reports from the On your schedule card on Home. See Routines for the complete guide.
Plan and Brand tabs during setup
Bee-guided setup includes a side panel with two review tabs:
- Plan summarizes the outcome, first win, recommended modules, and launch steps before anything is handed to the builder.
- Brand shows website context, logo, preview images, colors, fonts, and business notes when Bee can learn from an existing website.
If Bee is still analyzing brand context, keep refining the chat. The builder handoff stays disabled until the plan and required brand context are ready.
Approvals and safety
When an action changes data, Bee asks for confirmation:
Reply "yes" to approve or "no" to cancel.
If you are not in Actions mode, Bee will prompt you to switch before applying changes.
Support tickets also require approval. When Bee drafts a ticket, review the subject and summary, then confirm before it sends the ticket to support. For existing tickets, Bee can check the current status and latest support reply instead of opening a duplicate ticket.
Website building safeguards
When an approved Bee action rebuilds an existing page, Hiveality first saves the current page body to Version History as Before AI rebuild. If that recovery copy cannot be created, the existing page is left unchanged.
While you work in Design, Bee can read and update navigation without rebuilding the entire header. It can also find recent recovery points for the shared header and footer, then restore a published header, footer, or navigation state after you approve the change. Hiveality saves the current shared layout first, so the restore can be reversed if needed.
Bee can also apply structured header layouts while keeping the site's existing navigation and header behavior, including sticky, overlay, and mobile settings. Header treatments can adapt to the menu colors and use an inverse logo on dark or image-backed areas when one is available. Approved editing actions can update Embed Code widgets and expand shared brand styles across forms and page layout settings without replacing unrelated page content.
Review generated pages, headers, embeds, and brand changes in the editor before publishing. For recovery options, see
After an approved change succeeds, Bee checks the result without repeating the same write merely because a later verification signal is inconclusive. Looking up available tools and other read-only discovery also remains separate from actions that change your data.
If the same approved action is requested more than once at the same moment, Bee shares one execution instead of applying duplicate changes. When an action returns a clear, non-temporary error, Bee also keeps that result instead of repeating the same change until you adjust the request.
Sessions and history
Bee keeps conversations in sessions so you can switch contexts without losing progress. Use Recent Agent Bee chats in the Bee header to return to earlier conversations.
Build progress and other background activity appear in a compact activity card instead of being mixed into Bee's normal replies. Reopening a recent chat keeps that activity separate and restores the conversation in order, including when older messages need to load in more than one batch.
Activity cards can show the current step, progress, and a completed, warning, or failed result. Use View when a finished job has a result to open. Active work refreshes while Bee is open and checks again when you return to the tab or reconnect, so leaving the starting screen does not hide the latest outcome.
When you send a follow-up, Bee uses the saved session plus your newest message so it can stay focused on the current request after a panel refresh or chat switch. If Bee is doing longer work, the progress label can show what is happening and an approximate wait. After a generated website, funnel, or flow starts, Bee checks unfinished work on the next message before moving on to the new request.
Progress and recovery
Bee keeps a working indicator visible for the full turn, including while it is checking context or moving between tools. Longer turns show elapsed time, and
Still working appears when a response pauses between steps so you can tell the request is still active.
If a turn fails, the error stays in the conversation after a reload. Choose
Try again to resend the request from that point; the failed reply is replaced instead of adding repeated copies to the conversation.
Very long turns stop before the service limit so Bee can save the available reply and status instead of disappearing without an outcome.
Image attachments are sent to Bee in a supported image format without changing the original file in File Manager. If an attachment still cannot be read, Bee shows a specific image message so you can attach a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF and try again.
When an image-generation request is rejected by the image service, Bee can prepare one meaningfully different, safer prompt and try once more. If the second attempt is also rejected, Bee stops and asks for a new creative direction instead of repeating the same request.
Avoid repeatedly sending the same failed request. When Bee detects several identical unanswered turns, it pauses the repeated attempt and leaves one clear status reply so you can adjust the request or try again later.
If your sign-in session expires, Bee tries to restore it once before pausing message updates. If sign-in is still required, the panel stops background refreshes and shows Sign in again; the conversation remains saved. After you sign in, message updates resume only after Hiveality confirms that the conversation is available to the current account. If your current account no longer has access to a conversation, choose another chat or reload after access is restored.
