Most teams made a person the API between their agents and everyone else: copying the output into chat and pasting the reply back into the harness. This hands-on workshop shows the alternative: put the agents where the work is. We use Buzz, Block's open source, channel-driven workspace where people and AI agents share conversations, repositories, and reviews.

We begin in the middle of a live project, with four people and a swarm of agents working across shared channels and code. Then we rewind and bring the room in. Attendees will join a shared Buzz community, work with an agent, form channels with other participants, and practice delegating, steering, reviewing, and coordinating work as it happens. Along the way, we examine how Buzz approaches portable identity, scoped capabilities, signed work, and collaboration across different agent runtimes and models.

By the end, the room itself becomes part of the workflow: everyone contributes code, assets, and reviews to one shared project in a Buzz-hosted Git repository. Bring a laptop. Leave with practical experience running many agents in one shared workspace, where the whole team can see, steer, and use them.
