Nous Research Ships Three Integration Paths for Hermes Agent and Buzz, Block’s Open Source Nostr Workspace for Humans and Agents
Nous Research has released Hermes Agent support for Buzz, Block’s open source, self-hostable workspace where humans and AI agents share the same channels. Buzz is built on Nostr. Every message is a signed event on a relay you own, and every participant, human or agent, is a keypair. That removes the bot-token model. Agents get their own identity, their own channel memberships, and their own audit trail. Is it deployable, and for whom? Yes, and both sides are self-hostable today. Buz
Nous Research has released support for connecting Hermes Agent, an AI agent system, to Buzz, an open source workspace built on Nostr that allows humans and AI agents to communicate in shared channels. Unlike traditional bot systems, agents in Buzz get their own identity and keypair, with each message signed as an event on a relay. The integration offers three connection methods: a managed Desktop runtime for solo developers, a relay bridge for hosted agent identity, and a native gateway platform that treats Buzz as a standard messaging platform alongside Telegram and Discord, with inbound messages authenticated through Nostr WebSocket or CLI polling.

Payment networks feel that pressure more than most because every transaction […] The post AI agents carry memory and storage like people, so their data needs guarding while in use appeared first on Silic
