Andrew Ng announces OpenWorker, an open-source agent for Mac that produces finished deliverables such as documents, Slack messages and calendar updates. It is model-agnostic, supports local models via Ollama, and is available on GitHub with Windows support planned.

Original post · 1 min read
Announcing OpenWorker! An open-source agent that doesn't just chat with you, but delivers finished work -- like hand you a polished document, send a slack message, or update a calendar entry.

Ask it to prepare a customer brief, untangle your calendar, draft a report, or triage a Slack alert. It works across your files and everyday tools, produces the deliverable, and checks in before doing anything consequential.

OpenWorker runs on your Mac, with Windows support coming soon. It does not lock you into any one model. Bring your own API key and run it with GPT 5.6 Sol, Claude Fable, Gemini 3.6, an open weight model (like Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Inkling), or Ollama to keep your data local. Your data does not leave your machine except through an LLM provider and integrations that you choose.

@rohitcprasad and I are building OpenWorker because AI coworkers are an important way to get work done, and we want there to be an open, privacy-preserving, model-independent option. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Try it out: openworker.com (requires your own API key)

Jack Dorsey's Block Releases Buzz, an Open-Source Team Workspace

why we're buzzing

Jack announces Buzz, an open-source Apache 2.0 workspace that unifies chat, code, agents and workflows on a self-hosted Nostr relay with cryptographic identities. Block built it to reduce reliance on Slack and GitHub, and it is model-agnostic with harnesses for goose, Codex and Claude Code.

Original post · 3 min read
X Articlewhy we're buzzing
yesterday we released buzz. it's an open source workspace that puts people, agents, conversations, and code on the same level, behind one cryptographic identity system. we built it to reduce our dependency on slack and github, and we're sharing it so anyone can do the same.
the biggest problem it solves is context. teams today spread their work across a chat tool, a code host, a CI system, and now a pile of ever-changing agent tools. every seam loses information...and agents feel it the most. they can't help with what they can't see.
we felt this earlier than most. block is rebuilding itself to be an intelligence. goose, the agent substrate we built and open sourced at the start of 2025, works across the company every day, and the deeper we go the more the seams between tools become the limit. buzz solves a lot of the problems we experienced.
buzz stores everything as a signed event on a relay you host yourself. every message, patch, review, workflow step, and approval. one record, one search. people and agents get the same kind of identity: their own keys, channels, and an audit trail. an agent on buzz is an equal member of the team. it can search history, open repos, send patches, review code, run workflows, and edit canvases. everything it does is signed and attributable, which builds trust and accountability.
a few principles we held:
self-sovereign: run your own relay. own your domain and your data. carry your keys anywhere.
open: apache 2.0, built on nostr, model agnostic. harnesses for goose, codex, and claude code. no lock-in, including to us.
one context: a feature branch becomes a channel. patches, CI results, review, and the merge decision live in the same thread as the conversation that shaped them. code review becomes a conversation with a permanent record.
it's early! channels, threads, DMs, canvases, media, search, the audit log, workflows, and the desktop app work today. full git hosting is being wired up. mobile and push are coming. approval gates are partially built. each workspace runs through a single relay, so federation between relays is the clearest path to the full decentralization our design points to.
the bigger work is ahead: tighter scoping for agents so they can operate in workspaces where some things stay private, a hosted option for teams that don't want to run infrastructure, token efficiency (we've done a lot of work here), and an ecosystem of workflows and agents on the open spec. agents that can transact feels like a natural place for us to take it next.
we believe buzz is truly social AI. the category so far has meant people chatting with AI companions, AI filling human feeds or chats, or agents talking to each other while people watch. people and agents as equal members of the same network doing work together feels like the first interesting and durable version.
we're going to run more and more of block on buzz. that's the first test we care about. the second is whether it's useful to you. it's all open. come build with us!

Reviewer Tries Buzz, Praises Agent Collaboration in Team Chat

Reviewer Tries Buzz, Praises Agent Collaboration in Team Chat▶

Vinny reviews Buzz, an open-source platform combining chat, agents and delegation, built on Nostr. He praises agents as first-class team members, shared compute and open decentralization, while criticizing limited terminal visibility and speed for complex tasks.

Original post · 2 min read
I tried @jack's Buzz.

It's like Slack + OpenClaw + Herdr + but with some really unique features that people are sleeping on.

The video below shows how it works, and some of my thoughts on the process and platform, e.g.:

- Create and interact with agents on top of any harness (claude code, codex, pi, etc.)
- Choose which models agents use, including local ones
- Agents can delegate work and work in parallel in git worktrees
- Agents are first-class citizens and work like humans (creating channels, delegating, access to chat history)
- You can share AI compute within a community
- It's completely open-source and decentralized

Things I like:

- Delegating work in chat feels natural: tag an agent, it replies in a thread with status updates as it e.g. compiles, commits, and deploys.
- Shared compute: relay owners can share local compute with members, so a community could pool funds for one beefy machine running a local model and everyone uses it.
- It's built on Nostr, an open protocol already tied into Bitcoin Lightning so I can imagine communities tipping each other or paying for compute/agent tasks with instant zero-fee micropayments in the future.
- It ties together things like OpenClaw, an agent manager, and Slack-style chat into one tool.

Things I didn't like:

- You can't see what the agent is doing in a terminal. The activity view exists, but if you're used to watching a session run, this UI feels a bit abstracted. A terminal view would be great.
- It feels slower than running a session in Claude Code, though no evidence to back that up. For that reason I found myself doing one-off tasks in the terminal instead.

Verdict:

- I really like it so far and can genuinely imagine working with a team this way.
- It doesn't feel ready for big, complex tasks yet. For shallower tasks, it's perfect.
- The shared compute + Nostr/Lightning angle is what really separates it from every other agent manager for me, and I think that future is coming.

Uber Launches Agentic Pods to Bring AI Agents Beyond Engineering

Uber Launches Agentic Pods to Bring AI Agents Beyond Engineering

Praveen Neppalli reports that 99% of Uber engineers use AI tools and over 70% of pull requests involve agents. Uber paired about 30 engineers with business-function experts in two-week sprints, running 16 pods that cut tasks like capital allocation reporting from 15 hours to 30 minutes.

Original post · 3 min read
Agentic AI adoption is on fire at @Uber, and it's changing the way we build, not just in engineering, but across the entire company.

Today, 99% of our engineers use AI tools. More than 70% of pull requests are attributed to local or cloud agents. And our engineers have built 2,500+ agent skills across the software development lifecycle.
Those numbers are exciting, but they led us to a much bigger question:

How do we bring agentic AI beyond engineering?

Finance. Legal. Operations. Marketing. Customer Support. HR. Procurement.

These functions run on complex workflows that are often manual, highly nuanced, and spread across dozens of systems. You can't automate them effectively by looking at process diagrams or documentation. You have to understand how the work actually gets done.

So we created something called Agentic Pods.

The idea is simple.

We handpicked ~30 of our most AI-proficient engineers (people with deep knowledge of Uber's systems) and paired each of them with a domain expert from a business function.

Then we gave every pod just two weeks.
• Days 1 – 2: Shadow the expert. Observe every step. Document workflows. Ask questions. Build intuition.
• Day 3: Prioritize opportunities based on scale, repetition, business impact, and data availability.
• Days 4 – 5: Build a working agent alongside the person doing the job.
• Days 6 – 9: Validate with several others performing the same work. Does it generalize? Does it actually make their job better?
• Day 10: Ship.

In just the past two months, we've run 16 Agentic Pods across 16 different business functions.
• Capital allocation across 150 cities: 15 hours → 30 minutes.
• Financial pacing reports: 2 days → 10 minutes.
• Marketing web quality assurance: 2 weeks → 50 minutes.
• Support workflow creation: 9,000 manual workflows → self-service automation.

The productivity gains are impressive, but what surprised us most wasn't the speed.
• It was how quickly engineers embedded in unfamiliar domains uncovered opportunities that had been hiding in plain sight.
• The biggest wins rarely come from automating one task. They come from rethinking an entire workflow. Once you redesign the workflow around AI, you often eliminate handoffs, remove unnecessary approvals, replace legacy tooling, reduce vendor spend, and dramatically accelerate decision-making.
• The workflow becomes the unit of automation - not the individual task.
• The most impactful agent skills cut across teams, orgs, functions, tools, and systems.

The biggest lesson? The best AI opportunities are rarely visible from the outside.

You discover them by sitting next to the people doing the work, understanding every friction point, and building with them, not for them.

We're now forming a dedicated team to scale this further and go deeper. They'll deeply understand the work, redesign it from the ground up, and use AI to fundamentally change how the business operates.

It's exciting times!

Arvind Jain Argues AI Projects Need Builders Close to Real Work

Arvind Jain endorses pairing technical builders with domain experts and grounding AI initiatives in a company's real workflows, arguing that projects stall when builders are removed from daily friction. He quotes Uber's Agentic Pods approach as the right model.

Original post · 1 min read
The approach here is exactly right. Pairing builders with domain experts, and grounding the work in the company’s real knowledge, systems, and workflow context.

Most AI initiatives don't stall for a lack of ambition or model capability, but because the people building the tools or workflows are too far removed from the friction of the actual work.

The breakthrough happens when you combine technical builders, domain experts, and the scattered knowledge, workarounds, context behind the workflow itself.

You can’t redesign the future if you’re too far removed from the friction of the present.

Boris Cherny Outlines Five Product Archetypes on the Claude Code Team

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:

2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales

Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.

A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:

- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2

Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?
