After this videoYour agent joins Buzz as a first-class messaging platform

Buzz is Block's open-source, self-hostable workspace built on Nostr. Every message is a signed event on a relay you own, and every participant, human or agent, is a keypair. Hermes integrates three ways: the Buzz Desktop managed runtime (zero config), the relay bridge via buzz-acp over stdio, and the native gateway platform where Hermes joins Buzz as a first-class messaging platform with memory, skills, approvals, and cron intact. For the native gateway, run hermes gateway setup and pick Buzz.
