buzz-app: A desktop app for team chat and AI agents.

What problem it solves

Teams need a place to chat and work with AI agents without separating conversation tools from agent activity. Buzz combines community channels, direct messages, and locally running agents that answer within conversations.

Key features

  • Team conversations — Join communities and communicate through channels, direct messages, solo chats, and team chats.

    Source: README

  • Local AI agents — Create agents with a selected harness, model, and instructions, then interact with them through new chats, direct messages, or channel mentions.

    Source: README

  • Local identity management — Create a new identity, transfer an identity from Buzz 0.X, or use an existing private key. Buzz stores the identity in secure system storage, but users are responsible for keeping their own backup.

    Source: README

  • Community membership — Join communities through invite links or community addresses, and create additional communities from within the app.

    Source: README

  • Extensible plugins and CLI access — Add plugins through the application and use the bundled command-line client from scripts and agents. The plugin API is explicitly described as a preview that may change with updates.

    Source: README, docs/plugin-architecture.md

Quick start

Copied verbatim from the project's README.

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
ln -sf /Applications/Buzz.app/Contents/Resources/bin/buzz ~/.local/bin/buzz
git clone https://github.com/block/buzz-app.git
cd buzz-app
bin/just desktop

Who it may suit

Inference: Buzz may suit teams and individual developers who want community chat, direct messaging, and locally running AI agents in one desktop application. It may also suit contributors who want to build desktop applications, plugins, and integrations.

Topics to discuss

  • Which agent harness workflows should receive more attention in the desktop experience?

  • Which plugin API capabilities should remain stable as Buzz evolves?

  • How should Buzz balance local agent flexibility with clear permissions and safeguards?
