Hyve Core is the architecture BuildIQ, Legis, and our other products share. It connects domain knowledge, applications, and AI agents, while keeping each organization's information in its own scope and recording where information came from.
What it provides
Each organization's documents and knowledge base live in their own space, with a separate search index per organization, and are searched only on that organization's behalf.
For construction data, the database itself refuses to show one company's records to another. The rule sits below the application and fails closed: a request that does not name its company sees nothing.
One sign-in across Hyve's applications, with roles per organization. Products check that a person belongs to an organization before showing its data.
Construction actions are written to an append-only audit trail, AI tool calls are logged, and every Legis summary records the model, prompt version, and date that produced it.
Hyve uses models from more than one provider. Records live in Hyve's own database rather than inside any provider's service.
AI prepares; people decide. In BuildIQ, AI actions are proposals a person approves, and a take-off never changes a bid until the office applies it.
The federated model
In designToday, every organization that adopts AI starts from zero. Hyve Core is designed so that organizations in the same field can make each other's AI better without handing over their data. Each participant's records stay in its own space; what the network learns from is patterns, never the records themselves.
Records, documents, and conversations stay in your organization's own scope, under your control. They are never shown to another participant.
What the network shares is learning: model improvements and aggregate signals, combined across participants so that no single organization can be picked out.
Taking part is a choice each organization makes for itself, and one it can withdraw.
Every new participant makes the model better for everyone in the field: what one builder's estimates teach it, the next builder starts with.
The federated model is in design and not available today. We are designing it first for the fields where Hyve already works, construction and legislative research, and we will describe here how it protects each participant's data before it launches.
