- Block built its first Slack-integrated agent for shipping code and research, but identified a coordination bottleneck moving from intelligence to coordination.
- Buzz is a self-hostable workspace built on Nostr, combining channels, search, automation, and Git hosting for people and agents to collaborate in one room.
- Agents have their own identities and authorization via delegation cryptography, keeping authorship separate from authorization.
- Git storage uses immutable, content-addressed packfiles on object storage, verified with TLA+ modeling and conformance tests.
- Buzz is open source to prevent vendor lock-in, allowing teams to control their identities, history, and work product.
- The workspace enables orchestration of swarms of agents, with humans steering work in real-time rather than ferrying context between tools.
