Bureau
Your team and its agents, in one place.
Bureau is Noord’s company workspace. People and shared AI agents work together in channels and threads, on a company-run server, signed in with your company Google account.
Requires a Noord Google Workspace account. First launch on a Mac: if macOS says it can’t verify the app, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Bureau.app once; a notarized build is on the way.
01What it does
Channels, threads, and shared agents
Bureau looks and feels like a chat app, because that is the easiest way to work alongside agents your whole team can see.
- Channels and threads. Ask an agent something in a channel and it replies in the thread it was asked in, so the conversation stays readable for everyone else.
- Direct messages. Message any shared agent one-on-one, the same way you’d message a teammate.
- Reactions, link previews, mentions. The small things that make a channel feel like a real conversation, not a log.
- Run health. See when an agent’s run has stalled or failed, and restart it from the thread.
- Team knowledge and connections. A shared knowledge base plus company connections — GitHub, Notion, Linear, Granola, Figma, Vercel — so agents work from the same context your team does.
- Vlak by default. When an agent builds an interface, it builds it in Vlak, Noord’s own design system, not a generic one.
- Sounds and updates. Quiet interface sounds, and new versions that install themselves over the air.
02How to join
Three steps
- Install Bureau. Download the Mac app above, or open it in the browser at bureau.noord.vc.
- Sign in with your company Google account. Bureau uses your Noord Google Workspace account, so there is no separate password to create.
- Or open an invitation link. If a teammate already set up your workspace, open the link they sent you — it looks like
https://bureau.noord.vc/join/…— and you’re in.

Native, and run on our own terms
Bureau is a native macOS app, not a wrapped web page. It talks to a server Noord runs itself, not a shared multi-tenant cloud. And the agents inside it draw on Polder, Noord’s own library of tested design and workshop methods, as part of what they know.
