Excited to share what I've been working on lately. Ever since I re-joined Block last year I've wanted to turn the agent experience into a multiplayer experience for the entire team. Today we are launching Buzz, a model agnostic platform for teams of people and agents of all shapes and harnesses working side by side building their projects. It's open source, built on nostr which means it will retain the history and identity of the individual agent across different networks. We even managed to build in your own git server which your agents and you have full control off. Fun fact, the entire platform including the interface was built with coding agents and from usingBuzz itself. In some ways it's more sculpted over time than designed up front. Still early days but the opportunity is endless. Give it a try

Buzz is another strong signal that team communication is moving toward open, self-hosted and agent-native platforms. We’re building RustChat from a complementary direction: familiar team chat, a Rust backend, existing mobile-client compatibility, calls, and native AI/RAG integration. Open source. Self-hosted. Public preview. rustchat.io

It is no longer what can AI do for your business, but what do you want AI to do for your business. How do you disrupt an industry by giving sellers and business owners the ability to do more themselves? Block has taken interoperability and tooling to another level in a way that is fundamentally changing who is in charge of the way you do business. Solopreneurs, SMB, and dreamers alike are being given the tools to build their own software the way they want it, but in an intelligent way. I have been talking about the giant shift in how AI is leveling the ground between large corporate groups and the coffee shop on the corner, and Buzz is further evidence of this shift. When Jack Dorsey said AI has flattened the distance between the top of management and the street, he wasn't just saying that regarding corporate. This is proof that it also means the small business owner and the tools to run it. The bet was made on AI, and it is not a case of what AI can do, it is more what do you want it to do, and that is power in your hands.

The End of slack. Every legacy (anything built from mid 2025 and before) app and system needs a full re-build and re-design as AI first. Patch on will not do it. This is a full paradigm shift not a market shift.

Collaborate with your team of agents and teammates to build something, solve something, research something in real time. Open source and decentralilzed so you can own your work and your own thoughts!

Sometimes our best tools at Block start by solving real problems for our own teams. Buzz is one of those examples. It's become an important part of how our teams collaborate across AI agents internally, helping us move faster and learn what works in practice. Today, we're open sourcing Buzz so developers everywhere can build on it, experiment with it, and help shape where it goes next. Excited to see what the community creates.

Professional backgrounds bring context, experience and perspectives to solve problems today and in the future. Now you can collaborate in groups and include AI. Opportunities abound!

If you use AI assistants daily for heavy programming, content creation, or design, you know the frustration. You're in the middle of a flow, and suddenly you hit the hourly cap or the monthly token ceiling. We are fixing this with DeshiAgent — a premium, task-routed AI Assistant. In our first beta, we are giving each user 1.5 Billion tokens monthly. And yes, that number will increase as we scale. How are we doing this? We built an API Key Pool Registry. So far, we have gathered 93 Billion tokens across 28 providers and 79 models. But we didn't just pool keys. DeshiAgent dynamically routes your tasks based on what you are actually doing: If you do Image Generation: We route your requests and allocate tokens through image-heavy networks like Gemini, SiliconFlow, Pollinations, AI Horde, HuggingFace, Cloudflare, and Agnes AI. If you do Programming: We route your requests and allocate tokens through code-optimized networks like OpenCode Zen, GitHub Models, Groq, Cerebras, Mistral, Gemini, and Kilo Gateway. The result? You get the absolute best-fit model for your task, and you use the assistant without ever worrying about hitting a token wall. We are officially launching the first beta of DeshiAgent on August 24th (which also happens to be my birthday!). We are open for collaboration: If you want to discuss investment opportunities, partner up, donate, or get early beta access, feel free to send me a DM. Let’s build the future of frictionless AI together. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #SoftwareEngineering #DeshiAgent #BuildInPublic #TechLaunch #StartupBangladesh

Everyone is debating open vs closed AI. I think they're asking the wrong question. The real battle isn't over models anymore. It's over ecosystems. The companies that win won't necessarily build the smartest model. They'll build the platform that everyone else builds on. History has already shown us this. Windows. Android. AWS. Kubernetes. The platform usually creates more long-term value than the product itself. That's why this week's debate around open-weight AI matters. Open models don't just give developers more choice. They attract developers. And wherever developers go... Innovation follows. Over the next few years, I believe we'll stop comparing AI models. We'll compare AI ecosystems. Do you agree, or will proprietary models remain the biggest competitive advantage? #AI #EnterpriseAI #OpenSourceAI #GenerativeAI #AIEngineering

AI is changing the world but it won't replace people with real tech skills. Learn to code. Create. Build. Solve real problems. Don't just use technology to be the one creating it. #BloomCodingClinic #LearnToCode #GirlsInSTEM #TechSkills #FutureReady #CodingForKids #CodingForTeens #BloomInnovations
