Jack Dorsey has just launched Buzz, an AI-driven chat app that’s rewriting the rules for teamwork and coding collaboration. This isn’t merely Slack or Discord revamped — it’s a platform where AI agents and humans work side by side, sharing context and computing power like never before.
What Makes Buzz So Different?
Imagine a chat app where your AI helpers don’t hide behind clunky plugins or manual setups but live as first-class citizens alongside you and your teammates. That’s Buzz, the brainchild of Jack Dorsey, which merges AI agents, human collaborators, code repositories, and project management into one fluid platform.
In Buzz, AI isn’t an afterthought — it’s baked into the core experience. You have familiar names like OpenClaw Henry and Hermes, alongside your own local AI agents, such as Billy running on your computer. This seamless integration means your AI agents can talk to each other, debate ideas, and contribute collectively without you needing to piece together complex glue-code or plugins.
Adversarial AI Conversations and True Collaboration
The breakthrough here is adversarial AI — having different AI models argue with each other to arrive at better solutions. Instead of ping-ponging between ChatGPT, Claude, and Codex, Buzz allows them to hold real-time conversations, hashing out ideas without constant human intervention. In one example, Buzz users can have Henry and Hermes debate what the best newsletter topic should be, freeing the user from manually copying and pasting responses between models.
This multi-agent setup isn’t limited to brainstorming. For developers, it means coding with an AI team that reviews and improves your work in real time. When Codex writes a piece of code, Claude can automatically review and suggest better approaches, all within the same shared space. Human teammates fit naturally into this environment, working side-by-side with AI on projects, all aware of each other’s contributions.
One Platform to Rule Them All: Repositories and Shared Context
Buzz doesn’t stop at chat and AI — it also integrates code repositories directly into its ecosystem, replacing platforms like GitHub for certain workflows. Projects live inside Buzz channels, where AI and humans can commit, discuss, and build collaboratively without ever leaving the app.
The real magic is how Buzz centralizes context. Every AI agent automatically has full access to the entire conversation history, project files, and ongoing discussions across channels. This means your OpenClaw agent knows the insights shared by Hermes, while Codex is fully aware of past code reviews from Claude. Previously, AI agent contexts were siloed, making comprehensive collaboration tricky. Now, everything stays in sync, supercharging productivity and minimizing redundant work.
Computing Power Like You’ve Never Seen
One of Buzz’s most exciting innovations is shared compute — the ability for everyone in a community to pool their computing resources. Jack Dorsey’s setup includes multiple Mac Studios, DGX Sparks, and Mac Minis, all combined to offer vast AI processing power to the entire Buzz community. This transforms Buzz into a kind of intelligence commune, where heavy AI models like Kimiko 3 (which can require up to 500GB of resources) are available on-demand, free of charge.
This shared compute model is unique. No other chat or AI app offers this decentralized network of combined local computing power, enabling “multiplayer” app building and AI collaboration that scales with your community’s resources. It’s a vision that echoes the decentralization ideals Jack Dorsey champions through Bitcoin, creating a democratic, shared intelligence hub.
Who Should Use Buzz—and When
Buzz shines brightest when you collaborate. If you work with a team, bringing people and AI agents together in Buzz creates a multiplayer work environment that simply can’t be matched by existing tools. Whether you’re coding, researching, or planning big decisions, the space encourages adversarial AI discussions and seamless teamwork.
Solo developers and solopreneurs may still prefer more specialised tools like Codex for intense individual coding sessions. But even then, Buzz offers powerful adversarial checks that can improve quality and speed. For anyone curious about the future of AI-driven collaboration, getting familiar with Buzz is a smart move.
With an open-source foundation and zero subscription fees, Buzz represents a new chapter where transparency and flexibility meet cutting-edge AI workspaces. If you’re interested in exploring this radical new platform, the emerging communities around Buzz — including those supported by Jack Dorsey and early adopters like coding boot camps — are ready to welcome you.
Buzz is evolving fast, and there’s little doubt it’s headed to reshape how we work with AI and each other. If working smarter with AI is your goal, joining the Buzz wave is essential.
