Block launches Buzz, an open-source collaboration platform where AI agents are treated as team members

Jack Dorsey’s Block just dropped a collaboration platform that treats AI agents less like fancy autocomplete and more like actual coworkers, complete with their own identities and cryptographic signatures. The platform is called Buzz, and it wants to replace your team’s duct-taped stack of Slack, GitHub, and whatever AI tool you’re currently copy-pasting prompts into. Here’s the thing: Buzz isn’t just another workplace chat app with an AI chatbot bolted on.

The AI agent angle is where things get genuinely interesting. Rather than plugging into a single AI provider, Buzz supports multiple models including Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Each AI agent gets a unique cryptographic identity within the system, a...
