Opsio, a managed cloud services company, has launched Hiveforce. It is a service that gives a business a team of AI workers that plan and carry out tasks, then stop and ask a person before any important decision. The pitch is simple: AI that does real work, with people still in charge.

What it does

A user describes a task or project. A central AI coordinator called the Hive Queen reads the request, asks questions and plans the work. It then builds a team of AI agents with the right skills. A person approves the plan and the estimated cost before the work moves ahead.

The output can include research, analysis, forecasts and finished reports in Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint. The AI workers connect to systems a company already has, including its ERP (software that tracks money and operations), its CRM (customer records) and its files.

How the team is set up

  • More than 80 AI workers, each with its own role, tools and budget.
  • Specialized groups called Hives for finance, sales, human resources and customer service.
  • Work pauses when a decision needs sign-off, and a request goes to the right person.

Every step is logged. The record shows who did what, which decisions were made and what the work cost.

Privacy and control

Each company gets its own isolated database with a unique encryption key. The AI models run inside the EU through Opsio's private AI gateway, and the service is based in Stockholm. Personal and sensitive details are masked before the models see them. Customer data is not used to train the models.

The AI workers get read-only access to business systems, so they can look at data but not change it. The service is delivered under a data processing agreement that follows the GDPR, the EU privacy law.

Why Opsio built it

Opsio says many Swedish workplaces already use AI, but mostly as standalone tools chosen by individual employees. That makes it hard for a company to know what information is shared, what the AI is doing and who answers for the results. Rules such as the GDPR and the EU AI Act have raised the bar for control and traceability.

What is not known yet

The announcement does not give a price, a date for wider availability or a list of supported software. It does say companies can start with one team in a limited pilot and expand once the value is clear.

The takeaway

If staff already use AI on their own, Hiveforce shows what tracking and approval could look like, and a one-team pilot is the suggested way in.
