About Hiver
Hiver pivots from Gmail-only to AI-grounded omnichannel.
The recent feed shows two parallel pushes: an AI knowledge layer (Google Drive, Confluence, and Google Sheets becoming Ask-AI-queryable sources) and a channel-expansion push (Slack as a managed customer-service channel inside Hiver Omni, plus omnichannel search and automation primitives that work across email/chat/Slack). Automation gets meaningful new building blocks too — API calls as actions, new triggers and conditions.
