Jack Dorsey launches Buzz to combine team chat, AI agents and Git hosting

In one line

Block’s Buzz combines team chat, AI agents, workflows and Git hosting in a self-hostable workspace built on signed Nostr events.

Opening excerpt

Buzz turns Dorsey’s agent-centered operating thesis into an open-source product. Its key bet is that shared identity and signed events can make agents accountable participants in software work.

Jack Dorsey (@jack) said in an announcement on X on July 21st that Block is launching Buzz , an open-source workspace designed to put employees, AI agents, conversations and software repositories behind one identity system.

Dorsey, Block’s cofounder and Block Head , is pitching Buzz as a way to reduce Block’s dependence on Slack and GitHub. The move takes his preference for open protocols into the daily machinery of software development, where teams typically spread discussions, source code, automated workflows and agent activity across several vendors.

Buzz also fits the operating model Dorsey has been building inside Block. In an essay with Sequoia Capital’s Roelof Botha, Dorsey argued that AI should change how organizations coordinate rather than serve only as a productivity add-on.
