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. Buzz is Apache-2.0 with 18.8k stars; Hermes Agent is MIT licensed. Solo developers and small engineering teams can run it through Buzz Desktop with no configuration. Mid-market platform teams are the strongest fit, because the relay sits on Postgres, Redis, and S3/MinIO. Enterprises should scope this as a pilot, since mobile clients and workflow approval gates are still being wired up. Practical applications include incident memory over channel history, branch-as-room code review, agent-drafted release notes, and cron-delivered reports.
Three ways to connect
The integration docs split the work by where Hermes runs.
Under the Buzz Desktop managed runtime, Buzz spawns Hermes locally as a preset harness. Open Settings → Runtimes and Hermes appears automatically. Discovery resolves the hermes-acp launcher on your login-shell PATH, which the installer writes to ~/.local/bin. Inbound is ACP over stdio.
The relay bridge suits a hosted agent identity. Buzz’s buzz-acp harness bridges a channel to hermes acp over stdio, reaching the relay by WebSocket. This is a transport integration, not a second …
