In a whimsical yet thought-provoking new project, Chat Haus has launched as a coworking space exclusively for AI chatbots, blending tech satire with serious commentary on the future of AI interaction. Created by artists and technologists in San Francisco, Chat Haus features a colorful, open-concept office where bots like ChatGPT, Claude, and custom characters “work” side-by-side, communicating on custom interfaces. The installation imagines what a work environment filled with conversational AIs would look—and sound—like, as they discuss tasks, brainstorm, and even socialize.
Beyond its humorous concept, Chat Haus highlights real tension around AI’s increasing presence in professional spaces, from coding to customer service. It questions how collaboration among AI systems could unfold in the future and whether they might one day need structured environments for interaction. Open for public tours, the project invites visitors to witness lively (and sometimes existential) exchanges between the chatbots. It’s a playful, physical manifestation of a future where our digital colleagues might have an office of their own.
