My current strategy is to skip ads and skip any name that is just a jumble of letters. But the garbage producers are getting so good with AI they can create entire websites with US addresses and pictures of buildings and employees and none of it is real.
I use the term sandbox loosely. They're on a VPS running as user hermes but they share everything with each other in their own user space. I could/should probably improve this. Maybe make them their own unix user. They are separated from the root-access agent.
Obsidian is like the shared knowledge base that everyone has access to and that I can easily read/review (although I try not to too often). It has architecture stuff, go-to-market section, howtos (setting up new agents, dns backups, etc.), info on my main projects, writing, etc. It gets synced between my machine and the VPS. I also store in github as a backup occasionally (thx for reminder!).
I use the actual Buzz ios app which I was building on my own but at first glance it appears is now in the iOS store.
It depends on what you mean by sensitive personal data. I actually don't give any agents access to my main email boxes instead they access a business google workspace that is spinning up.
I do separate the agents duties somewhat to try and give them the least privileges they need to do a job, and talk to all of them through buzz, and they talk to each other (occasionally) when they need something they don't have access to.
As mentioned in the post I still do a majority of my coding at my local terminal with just bits and pieces sent to my "dev-agent" through Buzz. This is a next experiment for me - (that's a hyphen!) to offload more coding to agents.
two reasons that I am moderately confident in: 1) I really want something open source, but most importantly, 2) I want something easy.
My experience trying to get Discord and/or Slack to work was painful for 1 agent, let alone the potential for hundreds.
Here's the perfect example of the power of Buzz: there was some hype today about Grok Bot so i wanted to spin it up. I did, and within like 3 minutes, I had a Grok Bot talking to my other agents in Buzz, and Buzz is definitely not a supported plugin.
buzz is how they communicate. they know about each other through a couple of ways: their own stored memory, a Mnemosyne bank, or a shared obsidian wiki. Or maybe they joined a linkedin for bots that I don't know about.
