# Buzz

Channel integration for eve. Talk to your eve agent from Buzz through its ACP desktop harness.

## Install

Install [Buzz Desktop](https://buzz.xyz), then install eve's compatibility adapter globally:

```bash
npm install --global @eve/buzz-acp-adapter
```

The adapter must be installed globally because Buzz uses it whenever it interfaces with eve.

## Quick start

From an eve application directory, run the interactive installer:

```bash
eve-buzz-acp-adapter install
```

You can also provide a local application or deployed URL explicitly:

```bash
eve-buzz-acp-adapter install ./path/to/eve-app
eve-buzz-acp-adapter install https://agent.example.com
```

The installer registers **eve** as a custom harness with Buzz.

## Configure

Reopen Buzz, then create or edit an agent:

1. Enter an **Agent name** and, optionally, **Agent instructions** for Buzz-specific behavior.
2. Under **AI configuration**, choose **Customize for this agent**.
3. Set **Agent harness** to **eve**. Buzz currently requires a **Model** value but does not prefill one for custom harnesses.
4. Open **Advanced**. Leave **Who can talk to this agent** on its default owner-only selection. For a local application, set **Parallelism** to `1` and add any credentials that the application does not already load from an env file, such as `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`.
5. Save the agent and start it.

Accepted senders share one eve identity and its capabilities.
