One really cool thing you can do in Buzz is customize the 'Run on' dropdown in the advanced section of agent creation. For instance, i added "boat", which uses the boat.dev service when starting up an agent. 'Run on' decides where your agent runs when you hit Start. By default that's your own computer. But Buzz picks up any program on your PATH named buzz-backend- and adds it to the dropdown. The program describes its own settings, so Buzz draws the form for you (see the screenshots). So buzz-backend-boat spins up a boat.dev sandbox, starts the agent there, and the agent talks to your relay from the cloud instead of your laptop. Once it's started, my laptop can be closed and the agent keeps running.

So, imagine you sign up for a hackathon, and part of the hackathon is that you must work in a team of four to five people. You're told that you have to work with some particular AI model, and the whole team has to work quickly and decisively toward some particular goal. Now, how do you do this when you know none of the other people, you literally just met them, and you immediately have to hit the ground running? What options do you have available to coordinate a team effort like this? The answer is... Buzz. This weekend, I had the opportunity to take part in Chiang Mai's first-ever Anthropic hackathon, and also had the opportunity to watch how teams were able to coordinate effectively, efficiently, and very quickly, all of them using Buzz. It was an incredibly enlightening experience, not just for me, but I think for a lot of the folks who were there. Seeing everyone's eyes light up made it incredibly clear: this platform is the real deal. This is the real thing. I do think the world is sleeping on this. If you're reading this message and you haven't tried it, you absolutely should take a look.

Opus 5.5 animation created with this prompt: "make me an animation to explain why celld earns its place." There's way more context behind this but i thought the opus 5.5 output was impressive enough to share it here on X.

Had an awesome day today at Claude Fable Build Day. It was super cool to see all the presentations at the end, and basically what could be done with Fable in such a short period of time. I think what a lot of people got from this today was having their eyes opened to the power of what can be done with a Fable-class model in such a short timeframe. Also, doing this rotation of like 2-3 minutes per presentation is super awesome. I wish I could see this all day long. I really hope you get to host more of these @OpenMotus !

New experimental feature in Buzz dropped. It's called 'Thread Scoped ACP Sessions'. I asked a fable 5.1 Buzz agent to explain it + draw it since that name doesn't immediately give away what it does. Here is my simple human translation for you: In Buzz you can create threads inside a channel. When you mention an agent inside a thread, the agent's context is populated only by the data inside the thread. Thats with the toggle on. Toggle off == agent sees the whole channel data on mention. more or less. this brings buzz's agent behavior closer to the way claude tag works. and in some ways, its arguably better since agents in buzz don't have to deal with thread locking (when claude spins up inside slack, it locks the channel instruction and skills at start. requires a nerd to know to type `!restart`)

buzz.xyz is more like a network layer for agents. i don't see it in the same solution category as hermes, open claw, claude, codex, opencode, etc. It might be easiest to understand this by seeing the various agent setups i have seen. These are my own: - I have a normal claude cli terminal running. And thats connected to buzz - I have 3 cloud agents running that are also connected to buzz: claude and grok agents - i have two k8s clusters, running in the cloud, connected to buzz - all of my agents use a subscription plan - I can connect openclaw, Hermes, devin, open source models, etc and more to buzz. setups I have seen from others: - cloud hermes agent - vercel eve agents - local qwen 3.8 27b so what does it all mean? your 1 on 1 experience with whatever ai agent you use today, it doesnt really go away. i still interact with my terminal agent (albeit less and less). what's important when youre using buzz, the focus of your attention is: how do you interact with other humans and agents - not just in your own server, but across servers
