Jack Dorsey's Block company unveiled Buzz, a new workplace communication platform designed as a direct competitor to Slack and GitHub. The platform enables teams to communicate and collaborate with integrated AI agents within a single unified interface, addressing a growing need as companies increasingly use artificial intelligence to assist with work processes.

Distinguishing itself through open-source architecture and decentralized deployment, Buzz allows organisations to host their own instances and develop custom features tailored to their specific workflows. Though currently in early development stages, the product reflects a broader trend among entrepreneurs and developers to create AI-native workplace tools, with competitors like Centaur pursuing similar approaches.
