Jack Dorsey’s new startup, Buzz, launched today as a group chat platform designed for teams and their AI agents. Unlike Slack or Teams, Buzz allows AI bots to participate in conversations as native members, not as integrations or add-ons. The platform includes a built-in AI assistant called BuzzBot that can answer questions, summarize threads, and execute tasks. Dorsey says Buzz will be free for small teams and monetize through premium features for larger organizations.
Buzz is a bold bet on a future where AI isn’t just a tool you toggle to, but a colleague you chat with. Dorsey understands that friction is the enemy of adoption. By embedding AI directly into the conversation flow, he removes the mental overhead of switching contexts. You don’t ask a bot to summarize—you just @mention it and it happens.
This is the logical next step after ChatGPT and Copilot. Those tools are powerful, but they live in separate windows. Buzz makes AI feel native. It’s like moving from a typewriter to a word processor. The interface becomes the intelligence. If Buzz succeeds, it won’t just compete with Slack—it will redefine what a chat platform can be. The future of work isn’t humans using AI; it’s humans and AI working together in the same digital room.
