Buzz Integration
Buzz Integration
Start with meaning, then move to detail.
This lesson explains Buzz Integration as part of extending Hermes and connecting external tools. You will learn what it does, when it matters, and the smallest safe test that proves it works.
If you are new, do not memorize names. Focus on three questions: what problem does this solve, what access does it need, and how can you verify the result?
For practice, inspect the first example, identify its effects, run it on test data, and compare the result with the source claim.
For advanced readers, inspect ① Buzz Desktop managed runtime, ② Relay bridge (buzz-acp + ACP), ③ Native gateway platform (recommended for full Hermes), then verify failure modes and version compatibility.
Complete installation and one successful task before adding new capabilities.
A clear outcome before you read.
- Understand Buzz Integration without assumed prior knowledge.
- Separate the source description from what still needs testing in your environment.
- Read the first command and identify its inputs and outputs before copying it.
Short definitions before the details.
- ACP
- A protocol used to connect agent sessions and events to compatible clients and editors.
- Gateway
- The process that connects Hermes to channels such as Telegram or Discord and routes messages.

What does the source say, and in what order?
- 01① Buzz Desktop managed runtime
Start here to understand the core idea or structure.
- 02② Relay bridge (buzz-acp + ACP)
Read this after the foundation, then connect it to the previous step.
- 03③ Native gateway platform (recommended for full Hermes)
Read this after the foundation, then connect it to the previous step.
- 04Which one should I use?

Match every command to your installed Hermes version, review the files and accounts it can reach, and use non-sensitive data for the first test. If this explanation differs from the source, the official source wins.
