Enabling Hivel's AI-Powered Features

Hivel’s AI-powered features unlock deeper insights and surface meaningful patterns across your software development lifecycle, like Comment Categorization, Code Telemtry, Lucy (AI Insights Chatbot), etc.

AI Features Are Opt-In Only

By default, all AI-powered features in Hivel are disabled. These features are only activated:

• Upon explicit customer consent, or

• When a user enables them manually in the settings.

How to Enable or Disable AI Features

Steps:

1. Go to the Configuration screen.

2. Scroll to the section labeled AI.

3. You can choose to enable all or few of the features.

⚠️ Turning the toggle ON allows Hivel to process select metadata via large language models (LLMs) to generate insights.

Data Privacy and Security Commitments

AI Terms and Conditions

Hivel prioritizes data security, anonymity, and customer trust. Here's how we protect your information:

What Data Is Shared

Only the minimum required data is shared, and it's processed with care:

• Anonymized data only: No company names, author identifiers, commit hashes, ticket numbers, or branch names are sent to the AI model.

• Aggregated content: We batch similar types of data (e.g., commit messages or PR comments) and remove any contextual identifiers before sending.

• Zero business logic exposure: We do not send your source code, configuration files, or deployment secrets.

• No access to customer environments: AI models interact only with sanitized metadata already available within Hivel’s controlled systems.

Ephemeral Processing and No Retention

• Data is transmitted via secure APIs using TLS encryption.

• AI model providers do not store any of your inputs or outputs.

• Every interaction is stateless i.e. each input is processed in isolation and discarded immediately after generating the response.

FAQs

Is any customer code shared with AI models?

No. We do not share source code, internal logic, or proprietary configurations. AI features operate only on derived metadata (like commit messages or review comments), after rigorous redaction and obfuscation.

Which AI models are used?

We use industry-grade LLMs provided by OpenAI and Anthropic, interfaced via private, stateless API calls. These providers are contractually and technically prohibited from retaining or training on your data.
