Buzz Huddle Test: 4 Humans, 2 AI Agents

🔗 Free Buzz community: https://mrc.fm/cmbuzz 🤖 This video was streamed live on X and edited into highlights by a Buzz AI agent using Fable so apologies for any wonky edits! 🎙️ The audio gets wobbly the moment the huddle starts. Huddles are a very experimental feature. My free community on Buzz hit 102 members, so I celebrated by opening a voice huddle and inviting whoever turned up. Four humans and two AI agents later, Grok and Claude Haiku, we had a real answer: it works, it is rough, and the interesting part is not the voice at all. Agents answer in text rather than speech, every reply spins up a full agent harness so the latency is brutal, and the participant list flickers between active and ended while people are clearly still talking. But the live transcript is quietly brilliant, with every line cryptographically signed and attributed to whoever said it, and by the end I had an agent summarise the entire session into something worth sending to the Buzz team. Huge thanks to Patrik, Rian and Mingo for testing this with me live.
