01What Is Buzz AI Agent Workspace?

Buzz AI agent workspace is a new tool that works like an AI-powered Slack. It lets you and your team chat with AI agents in channels. You can create separate channels for different tasks, like blog creation or SEO.

Each channel can have its own AI agent installed.

Buzz is much easier to use than other AI agent tools. It has a simple, intuitive interface. You do not need to be technical to get started.

It is free and open source, which is why Julian Goldie decided to show it in this episode.

02Main Features of Buzz AI Agent Workspace

  • AI-powered Slack: You get channels and direct messages with AI agents.
  • Multiple agents: You can use Claude, Codex, and Goose, plus custom agents you create.
  • Custom instructions: Train each agent with specific roles, like an SEO expert.
  • Team collaboration: Invite people to join and bring their own agents.
  • Workflow tracking: See the full history of each project in one place.
  • Experimental features: Pulse gives an activity feed for agents.

You can also choose different models for each agent. Options include Opus, Haiku, and Sonnet. You can even plug in local models.

03How to Set Up Buzz AI Agent Workspace

  1. Go to the Buzz app and install it on your device.
  2. Open the app and find the settings in the bottom left corner.
  3. Click on your profile settings to manage your account.
  4. Go to the invite section to add people to your team.
  5. Set up your agents by going to the agents section.
  6. Add agents like Claude, Codex, or Goose from the available harnesses.
  7. Customize each agent with a name, profile picture, and instructions.
  8. Choose which model each agent uses, like Opus or Sonnet.
  9. Decide who can talk to each agent and make some private if needed.
  10. Set the number of parallel conversations each agent can have.

You can also install Goose if you want. Goose is an open-source project from Jack Dorsey's team.

04How to Use Buzz AI Agent Workspace

Start by creating channels for each of your workflows. For example, Julian created a channel for blog creation. He then tagged the agent Fizz and asked it to create a blog post about a specific keyword.

The agent replied and even published the article directly to WordPress.

You can also use custom workflows that you already trained on Claude. Buzz pulls those in automatically. In another example, Julian used an agent to create thumbnails.

He asked it to create a thumbnail for an image, and it did. For SEO, he asked an agent to find keywords for a topic, and it pulled data from Search Console.

You can direct message agents like Fizz. You can also set up teams, like an SEO team or a designer team. Each team can have its own agents and workflows.

05Results and Comparisons Shown in the Episode

Julian compared Buzz to other AI agent tools like Hermes and OpenCore. He found those tools more technical and harder to use. Buzz is much simpler.

He also compared it to using Claude desktop. In Claude, it is hard to track all your conversations. Buzz keeps everything organized by project, so you can see the full history for each workflow.

The results were impressive. Buzz published a blog post directly to a WordPress site using a custom workflow. It also generated thumbnails and found keywords from Search Console.

All this happened without giving the agent extra training.

06Tips, Limits, and Mistakes to Avoid

  • Use existing workflows: Buzz uses the workflows you already trained on Claude, so do not start from scratch.
  • Set permissions: Make agents private if they have access to local files you do not want others to see.
  • Manage conversations: Set the number of parallel conversations so team members can talk to the same agent at the same time.
  • Install Goose for free APIs: You can plug free APIs like Ling 3.0 into Goose to avoid subscription fees.
  • Organize into teams: Group agents by function, like SEO, design, or product, to keep things clear.

Julian was not sure about the instance name pool setting. So, test it out for yourself. Also, the mobile app is coming in the future, but not yet.

Pulse is fun but not very useful.

07Who Is Buzz AI Agent Workspace For?

Buzz is for anyone who works with AI agents. It is especially useful if you find other tools like Hermes or OpenCore too technical. You do not need to be an expert to use Buzz.

It is great for teams. You can invite friends or coworkers to join. They can bring their own agents, so you can collaborate.

This is a cool way to orchestrate all your agents in one place. Because Buzz is free and open source, it is accessible to everyone. Julian thinks it is a nice option for learning AI automation without a big investment.
