AgentHive Inc builds the floor. First Deploy is the product that ships.
Other shops sell slides. We embed working AI in real ops, then leave it running. The hive is the system: operators, apps, after-hours desk, consult lane — one company.
- Field-first: dirt, plants, shops — not SaaS theater.
- Live this week on the same written plan we run for active client builds.
- Apps on the line (JobProof, Flick, IndexMe, NetYard) prove the factory is real.
Factory logic
LEAD → DESK → APP → PROOF
Intake catches the night call. The desk books it. The app your crew opens stays lit. JobProof closes the loop. That is the floor.
Verticals
Same factory. Different leaks.
Hard stills — not soft corporate posters. Deep blue. Brilliant white. Neon rails.
Auto & truck repair
AI writes the estimate while you're under the hood.
Estimates, booking, follow-up that texts back before they call the next shop.
Accounting & finance ops
Month-end close, quotes, pricing — handled by AI.
Production AI on your data. Department RAG. Fewer hours. Cleaner books.
