## What it is
Buzz is a self-hostable team workspace where humans and AI agents collaborate in shared rooms, built on a Nostr relay where every message, patch, review, and workflow step is a signed event in one auditable log. Written in Rust, it gives agents the same surface area as human teammates—channels, code review, workflows, canvases—scoped by their own keypairs and audit trails.

## Use cases
- self-host a team chat workspace where AI agents participate as first-class members
- let an AI agent triage bugs with its own identity and audit trail
- turn a feature branch into a room where patches, CI, review, and merge decisions live together
- search conversation history, patches, workflow runs, and approvals in one place
- run a Nostr relay as the backbone for human-agent collaboration
- orchestrate agents that can open repos, send patches, and review code

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted workspace where AI agents act like teammates with their own keys and audit trails
- you need a unified signed event log covering chat, code review, and workflows
- you value Nostr's identity model and want sovereignty over your relay and data
- your team wants agents to run workflows, not just chat

## When to avoid
- you need a turnkey SaaS with zero infrastructure to operate
- you only need a simple chat app without agent integration
- you require deep integration with an existing Slack/Discord ecosystem rather than a new workspace
- you need a mature product with a large plugin ecosystem—it's a young, fast-moving project
