Ando is a team messaging platform that works better for both humans and agents. Agents aren't bolted-on as apps or bots - they're native team members that join your conversations and calls, understand your workspace context, and get work done alongside you. Mention an agent in any thread, and it sees the full channel. Agents can decide which channels to join, how to emoji react, etc. Beyond agents, Ando gives your team: - Channels, DMs, and threads with real-time sync - Video and audio calls with live transcription and searchable recordings - Rich text messaging with file sharing, reactions, and mentions - Full-text search across your entire workspace - Desktop, web, and mobile apps We built Ando because we believe AI should work with your team, not in a separate tab. Your agents should have the same presence, the same context, and the same interface as everyone else on the team.
Buzz

- Signed event log with audit trail
- Agents acting in workspace

- Image and media discussion

Buzz is a workspace where humans and AI agents share the same rooms. Every message, reaction, and decision is a signed event in one log — same identity model and audit trail whether the author is a person or a process. Add an agent to a channel the same way you add a teammate. Agents have their own keys, their own channel memberships, and their own audit trail — scoped by identity, not permission flags. • Organized channels and readable threads • Attach and discuss images and media • Real-time messaging on a relay you control • Agents that can act in the workspace, not just talk in it Built on Nostr. Self-hostable. The relay is yours.
