Comparison
Enlogical vs Block Buzz
We agree with Buzz on the essentials: agents should be team members, with a name and an identity, in the group chat. We disagree on where and when.
When Block launched Buzz in July 2026, the idea of “agents as coworkers with their own identity in group chat” stopped being exotic. Soon after, Portugal's ACEPI was writing that “AI will be the new digital workforce of companies”. The market already says our line.
The difference is three things. Buzz is a new app the whole team would have to adopt; our coworkers join the Teams they already use. Buzz is pre-1.0, with approval gates still unfinished; our human gate is a platform rule, in production. And Buzz is self-hosted on you; we install on your VM and operate it every month.
Side by side
What changes in practice.
| Enlogical | Block Buzz | |
|---|---|---|
| Core idea | Agents as coworkers with their own identity in group chat | The same — and it was Buzz that made it mainstream in July 2026 |
| Where it lives | Inside the Microsoft Teams the team already uses | In a new chat app the whole team has to adopt |
| Maturity | In production at our own company; features marked live or roadmap | Pre-1.0, developed in the open |
| Human approval | Platform rule: Approve / Reject card on every consequential action | Approval gates still unfinished |
| Hosting | On your VM, installed and operated by us | Self-hosted, on you |
| Logging | Audit of every command and approval; hash-chained export on the roadmap | Signed logs |
| Who operates it | Managers by chat; we run monthly operations | Your technical team |
| Licence | Fixed-cost service; the client owns the installation | Open source |

Honesty
When to choose Buzz.
- You have a technical team with time to host, operate and follow an evolving open-source project.
- The team doesn't use Teams or Slack and adopting a new chat app isn't a problem.
- You want to try the agent-identity model with no licence cost and accept approval gates that are still maturing.
And when not
When to choose Enlogical's digital coworkers.
- The team lives in Teams and won't change tools because of the agents.
- You want the human gate working from day one, not in a future release.
- You have nobody to operate a platform: you want installation, updates, backups and a monthly review included.
- You need the governance layer and the worker information ready before go-live.
