use buzz to build buzz however you wish
I created my first @buzzdotxyz plugin today, right from Buzz itself… and guess what? It even has hot reloading 🤯
It’s something I’ve always wanted in Slack: a Grammarly-like grammar checker built right into the Buzz composer.
buzz 1.0 is finally here! the most flexible team workspace out there. for humans and agents, model agnostic, local or cloud, and infinitely extendable.

Block trained its new voice AI entirely on speech, without using any text.
Dessa lead @RagavanThurair says even his team didn't expect it to develop such strong language understanding:
"It's trained entirely on speech, which is crazy. This company's training it just on speech, they have less data, it's a lot harder, how the hell are they gonna learn language like that? But somehow ours ended up better."
"I thought we would have to have text to get to this level of conversation understanding. We didn't expect it would learn language this good."
"People have done this before, like GSLM and Hertz-dev. The big gap is ours has a really strong understanding of language and you can actually have a realistic conversation with it."
@blocks
it’s getting great
Got setup w @buzzdotxyz beta at AGNTcon and super impressed with how modular & customizable it is w plugins.
Also very pleasant mellow design that sits pleasingly between corporate chaos of slack and wild west of discord. 🐝 💛
team is amazing
What a legit team @blocks (@jack) put behind Dessa.

What's New in bitchat 1.8.0:
- Busy location channels are fast again. The people list opens instantly even with hundreds of people nearby, and the chat no longer jumps back while you scroll through a fast conversation.
- Your drafts are kept when you switch between mesh, location channels and private chats.
- Join a nearby location channel with one tap, and share channel invites from the share sheet.
- Give someone a local alias on their fingerprint screen. Verified contacts now show a seal in private chats.
- A recent chats section keeps every private conversation within reach.
- A banner tells you when Bluetooth is off or Tor is stalled.
- Panic wipe now asks for confirmation and tells you when it's done.
- On Mac, scan verification QR codes with the camera. @-mention suggestions now work from the keyboard.
- Messages from someone who shares your name are no longer treated as your own.
- Security hardening and fixes throughout, and the app is now fully localized in all 30 supported languages.
🇫🇷 Hier bitchat était n°1 des réseaux sociaux sur l'App Store en France...
Aujourd'hui c'est n°1 de TOUTES les applis gratuites !!
Là ce n'est plus une niche des milliers de Français installent une messagerie qui marche sans internet, sans numéro et sans serveur, la semaine même où on parle de couper les réseaux sociaux 😉
