native buzz support
one person knows why the retry logic backs off that way
Nobody wrote it down, and nobody is going to. Mentat joins your Buzz workspace and answers when you mention it. When the answer is in none of your sources, it interviews the person who holds it.
bring one channel and a question you already know the answer to
what mentat is
A knowledge sharing layer for engineering teams. It answers questions against your code, docs, PRs and issues. Where nobody ever wrote the reasoning down, it runs a short interview with whoever holds it. Facts are easy to write down. Reasoning never is, and reconstructing it is the part Mentat does.
what runs on buzz
Four capabilities over one relay connection and one Mentat identity. Mentat is a member of your workspace, not a separate app your team has to switch to.
when it doesn't know
When retrieval turns up nothing to ground an answer in, Mentat posts one sentence and stops rather than synthesizing from thin context.
An answer in a channel is read by people who never asked the question.
"I don't have enough captured knowledge to answer that confidently yet."
the exact string it posts, not a paraphrase of one
An answer built from your sources arrives with them listed, so you can go read them and disagree.
getting connected
An admin connects Mentat from the workspace settings. The parts worth knowing before you do.
Mentat runs multi-tenant by default. It also runs single-tenant inside your own AWS account, where your data and your knowledge graph stay in your cloud and model inference still calls out to the provider. The security whitepaper lists every egress destination.
try it against something you already know
Connect one channel and ask it a question you can grade yourself. That is a harder test than anything a slide could show you. If the answer comes back thin, the sources it used are listed underneath it, so you can see exactly what it had to work with.
