Jack Dorsey announced on X that Block is launching Buzz, an open-source workspace. Buzz aims to integrate employees, AI agents, conversations, and software repositories under a single identity system.

Dorsey, co-founder and Block Head of Block, intends for Buzz to lessen the company's reliance on platforms like Slack and GitHub. This initiative extends his advocacy for open protocols into the core of software development, where team communications and source code are often fragmented across various tools.

Buzz seeks to streamline workflows by centralizing these essential elements. The platform was developed internally at Block, with contributions from Dorsey himself. The goal is to create a more unified and efficient environment for software teams, promoting collaboration and productivity through a single, consistent interface. Buzz is now available for use.
