I just tried Buzz... A lot of good ideas but it's clearly a very early MVP. There are promising hints of the future, though here are some issues I hit: - Onboarding is weird. It's like signing up for a crypto app with a bunch of secrets without delivering or communicating value first. - The default harness selected is "Buzz" which then requires you provide an API key for another provider. Funny enough, if you switch to Codex or Claude as the harness, you can skip the API key step. So the default is... the most work? I'm not sure why I'd ever select Buzz over the others. - Once in the app, it seems the 3 agents (honey, bumble, fix) all introduce themselves. Cute animations! But I'm not sure why they make a good team. "What should I do to test this?" comes to mind. - If you try to discover more agents, there aren't any. And as you can see in my screenshot, the AI agent "Honey" is simply a basic prompt to help me brainstorm with warmth. Why is the team here? What's special? - I came up with a pretty hard prompt to make a 3d world clock. I was hoping these 3 agents would somehow come together to show that 3 is better than one. Instead, Fizz ran off and built it without first acknowledging my message, speccing anything out, working with the teammates, etc. - And then it gave me a raw computer link... I had to go to terminal to open? With good ol' unescaped characters to boot. 🥾 - My favorite part is then going into settings and realizing... I can share my computer's compute? What? Don't get me wrong: I like the idea that others (coworkers) can run agents on my machine. Amazing idea to reduce costs. But why is this in the MVP when the basic flows remain unfinished? - Finally, the weirdest part... and I'm still trying to fully understand this. In order to process all of these requests, my messages are apparently sent to a Nostr Relay (off my device?), then to the buzz-acp harness, and then processed on my device again. Only to be routed back through Nostr Relay again, and then back to my Buzz app. So all the data is flowing off my computer and back onto it, all via a decentralized cryptographic network. Why???
