Connect your agent to Buzz

A guide library for turning existing agents into governed business operators inside an accountable Buzz workspace.

What You Are Building

The finished capability is not a disconnected integration tutorial. It is a governed business operator that works in named Buzz channels, follows a defined role, requests approval before risky actions, and returns evidence when work is complete.

Buzz is the coordination and accountability surface: messages, identity, channels, approvals, visible decisions, and proof. External agents such as Hermes and OpenClaw supply long-running memory, local execution, skills, research, or device-level work when they are explicitly connected and controlled.

Initial guide collection

Buzz + Hermes should show how to deploy a persistent, learning-oriented agent as a member of a Buzz organization. The guide needs installation paths, Buzz connection, business identity, channel assignment, message triggers, memory boundaries, tool controls, approval gates, scheduled workflow setup, and failure escalation.

Buzz + OpenClaw should show how to connect an existing personal or business agent safely. The guide needs Gateway setup, a dedicated Buzz-facing identity, skill-to-responsibility mapping, personal-versus-company memory separation, credential isolation, shell/browser/email restrictions, receipts, and recovery behavior.

Buzz + OpenClaw + Hermes should become the advanced multi-agent blueprint: Buzz coordinates and preserves proof; Hermes handles learning, memory, research, and reusable skill development; OpenClaw handles authorized external execution; the human operator owns judgment and exception handling.

Architecture

Each guide must show where the agent runs, how it reaches Buzz, which system owns memory, which system owns credentials, which system approves work, and where evidence is stored.

This keeps Buzz Agent Hub positioned as the place where businesses become accountable AI companies. The value is not that every agent platform competes with Buzz; the value is that every useful agent can become accountable through Buzz.

Permissions and governance

Every integration guide should specify what the agent may read, write, execute, publish, spend, delete, and approve. Consequential actions need explicit approval gates, least-privilege access, credential isolation, spending limits, timeouts, a kill switch, and an audit trail.

Proof must include the request record, agent identity, decision or plan, approval record, action result, supporting evidence, timestamp, and failure state when applicable. A reply from the agent is not enough.

Product ladder

Quickstarts should help a reader connect an agent in a small number of safe steps. Business blueprints should explain operating models such as an AI research department or operations assistant. Verified installations should become guided implementations with channels, roles, governance rules, workflows, acceptance tests, and proof receipts.

That creates a natural journey: learn the integration, understand the architecture, select a blueprint, install the solution, then verify the company is operating correctly.

Production Checklist

Before an integrated agent touches company systems, the operator should verify identity, channel membership, trigger rules, memory boundaries, tool allowlists, credential scope, approval gates, logging, timeout behavior, failure escalation, rollback, and a safe test mission.

The category should expand beyond Hermes and OpenClaw to Claude Code, Codex, Pi, n8n, Zapier, GoHighLevel, GitHub, Gmail, Slack, and specialized vertical agents. Each one should be treated as a worker or capability that becomes accountable through Buzz.

FAQ

Is this just another integration category?

No. The category is about turning an external agent into a governed business operator with identity, permissions, approval, proof, and escalation inside Buzz.

Which guide should be first?

The first flagship guide should be Buzz + Hermes because persistent memory, learning, skill creation, and long-running operation demonstrate the full accountability model when paired with Buzz.

Can the guide claim an integration is production-ready?

Only after a verified installation produces request, approval, action, evidence, timestamp, and failure-state receipts. Draft guide copy cannot make that claim.
