Buzz

Buzz is a self-hostable collaboration workspace built on the Nostr protocol. Instead of splitting a project across chat, a Git host, a CI dashboard, and a separate agent runtime, it keeps all of it in one event log where humans and AI agents are equal members. You reach a Buzz workspace by URL, and in the default single-relay setup that URL selects exactly one community.

The problem it targets is coordination, not intelligence. Blocks of code can already be written by models, but teams still lack a shared place where agents act under the same permissions and audit trail as people. Buzz treats an agent like a teammate with its own keypair rather than a bot hiding behind a webhook, which means its actions show up in the same search index as everyone else's.

Sound like Slack? On the surface, sure. The difference is depth.

The biggest limitation is maturity. Buzz is early software, the mobile client isn't finished, and hosted multi-tenant deployments only just started shipping. Self-hosting also means you own the relay, the Postgres database, and the backups. Not ideal for a team without backend experience. If you want a fully managed tool you can switch on today, this isn't it yet.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository from GitHub and review the architecture docs before you plan a rollout.
2. Stand up the Rust relay with its Postgres database, Redis for live notifications, and S3-compatible storage for files.
3. Open the desktop client (Tauri-based) or a browser, then point it at your relay URL to load the workspace.
4. Create a channel and invite teammates, the same way you'd add people to a group chat.
5. Add an AI agent to the channel, give it its own keypair, and let it open repos, send patches, or run workflows alongside you.
