Living Hive
An interactive hive of workplace stories. I used AI embeddings to group similar experiences so people could explore them together.
Living Hive started with a question from my work at Hive-ly: could looking at workplace stories together help people recognize something familiar in their own experience?
I used AI embeddings to group hundreds of stories by similarity and built an interactive visualization shaped like a hive. You can explore clusters of stories about management, career changes, workplace ethics, and other things that keep coming up at work.
I was interested in what people might notice when they could see related experiences side by side. Something that feels confusing or isolating when it’s happening to you can look different when you find other people describing it too.
For the demo, I used stories from r/work. You can explore the Living Hive here.
