    AustinHi! My name is Austin, and I'm a Spiral PM grantee working on open source education and developer relations for Buzz and Goose. Previously, I created https://programminglightning.com, a free resource to teach developers how Lightning works from the ground up.

About the course

Buzz is an open-source workspace where people and AI agents work side by side. In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how Buzz works, how to set it up, and how to use it to level up yourself and your team or community.

Buzz is an open-source tool, and like most AI tools right now, it’s changing fast. With so many new features and developments, it’s hard for a team or an individual to sift through the noise and learn how to use Buzz well. This course helps students put Buzz to work in ways that are useful for their team or community.

Beginner friendly. Coding experience isn’t required, but it helps. For community organizers, team leads, and small teams who want AI agents working alongside their people and prefer open-source tools they control.
