The gap Buzz points at
Several early Grok Bot users assumed its group-chat feature would let them invite colleagues to work alongside Bots. It doesn't; the group chats are Bot-only, and you're the observer. Buzz is built around the other idea: many humans, many bots, one thread.
Practical answer for 2026
Use Grok Bot, and route Bot output into Slack where the humans are. It's the same outcome as Buzz's vision with a product that's shipping. Revisit Buzz when it stabilises.
