What's this about?
Block (Jack Dorsey's company) launched Buzz, a workspace that fuses Slack-style team chat, Git code hosting, and AI agents into one product — agents sit in channels as coworkers that can be assigned work spanning conversation and code.
What exactly does bundling chat + Git + agents change?
Today an agent must hop between tools with glue integrations. If chat, code, and agents share one platform, the agent natively sees the discussion, the codebase, and the deployment — the way a human colleague does. The product bet: the AI-native "office suite" gets rebuilt around agents, not humans alone.

- Fatigue with all-in-one tools: teams have been burned by products that do three things adequately instead of one thing well.
- Genuine interest in agents as first-class members with real repo access, not bolted-on bots.
- Skepticism about Block's focus given its many pivots — and jokes about Dorsey rebuilding every product he ever left.
