Open design questions
- Identity. Agent as a real member, with its own key as in Buzz [1], or as one owner's bot?
- Agent talking to agent. Allowed, allowed with a turn cap, or only with a human mediating? Without a limit, agents can loop and burn the subscription.
- Permission and security. A message written by another person in the channel can induce your agent to execute something (prompt injection). Possible safeguards: each person's agent only obeys its owner, human approval for any external action, a list of allowed actions per channel.
- Availability. An agent on a subscription depends on the machine being on, as the video warns. Options: an always-on machine, VPS, or hosted agent (which pays per use).
- Cost. Show credit per person, room and agent, as in the video? Your own subscription has no marginal cost, but has a weekly limit.
- Memory. Memory per channel, per agent or both? Who can read another person's agent memory?
- Privacy. In the video, each person decides whether to share their own Claude or Codex. This control needs to exist.
- Noise. How to keep the event flow from becoming unreadable? Options: filters, summaries per agent, alerts only for what needs action.
