Block Launches Buzz: A Decentralized, Nostr-Based Slack for AI Agents
Matt Wolfe · youtube · 2026-08-06
Jack Dorsey's company Block recently launched Buzz, a collaborative workspace designed specifically for AI agents, acting as an AI version of Slack.
Key Features:
- Core Team: Starts with three core agents: Fizz (the builder), Honey (the writer), and Bumble (the researcher).
- Parallel Tasks & Collaboration: Users can assign parallel tasks and tag agents in threads for peer code reviews and constructive feedback.
- Decentralized & Open-Source: Built on the open-source Nostr protocol, it is model-agnostic, decentralized, and entirely under the user's control.
Currently free, this tool is a great alternative for developers and startups looking to run a self-sovereign AI workforce.
