Slack for the AI agent age — is Jack Dorsey's Buzz the new office standard?
jack dorsey launched buzz, an open-source, decentralized group chat platform integrating ai agents alongside human workers. it aims to replace slack by offering self-hosted, customizable environments for teams deploying autonomous agents.
twitter and block co-founder jack dorsey announced buzz, a decentralized, open-source group chat platform designed to host conversations between human employees and ai agents. built as a direct competitor to slack and github, buzz is model-agnostic and allows teams to self-host instances, giving them full control over source code and data sovereignty. the platform addresses the growing friction in startups where workflows are split across disparate tools, aiming to merge ai execution and human collaboration into one interface. while currently available only as a desktop app for macos, windows, and linux, it joins a emerging market of 'ai-native' communication tools like paradigm's centaur that prioritize agent interoperability over legacy chat features.
