What is Reclaim.ai?

Reclaim's roadmap has narrowed to OOO and Slack polish as its release cadence slows

Reclaim's recent shipping is concentrated on out-of-office and Slack integration — custom Slack OOO auto-replies and team OOO calendars are its only two 2026 entries. The rest of the visible feed is from 2025 (a Slack app overhaul, travel timezones, scheduling-link branding). The cadence has thinned noticeably, with multi-month gaps between releases.

What is Hive?

Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.

Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.

Reclaim.ai vs Hive: editorial side-by-side

R2.5

Reclaim's roadmap has narrowed to OOO and Slack polish as its release cadence slows

◆ Current state

Reclaim's recent shipping is concentrated on out-of-office and Slack integration — custom Slack OOO auto-replies and team OOO calendars are its only two 2026 entries. The rest of the visible feed is from 2025 (a Slack app overhaul, travel timezones, scheduling-link branding). The cadence has thinned noticeably, with multi-month gaps between releases.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is iterating on team-coordination edges — OOO visibility, Slack presence sync — rather than its core AI scheduling. Combined with the slowed cadence, the signal reads as consolidation and polish over expansion.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued OOO/Slack-coordination refinements; the multi-month gaps between releases suggest no major net-new capability is imminent based on the entries shown.

Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.

◆ Current state

Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.

◆ Where it's heading

Dashboards are moving from showing tracked time toward capacity planning, with shared inputs that update every report when edited. Bulk editing keeps reaching more views, and each new bulk action ships with undo.

◆ Prediction

Expect more report widgets to accept Tables inputs and drill-downs, and bulk actions extending to fields beyond dates and status.
