Chatticushttps://chattic.us/2026-10-13T00:00:00ZAnthusPersistent, named AI teammates with memory, skills, routines, approvals, and one shared computer inside a boundary you control.We rewrote the control plane in TypeScripthttps://chattic.us/updates/typescript-and-durable-sessions/2026-10-13T00:00:00Z2026-10-13T00:00:00ZThe Python control plane is gone from our develop branch. It's TypeScript on pi-durable now, and the computer stays up between turns, stops itself when idle, and recovers from crashes.Research packs, human copyhttps://chattic.us/thoughts/research-packs-human-copy/2026-09-07T00:00:00Z2026-09-07T00:00:00ZAI can hand the desk a research pack. Public copy still needs a human byline — and a leftover gate is one way a farm can refuse to publish without one.Own the defaultshttps://chattic.us/thoughts/own-the-defaults/2026-09-07T00:00:00Z2026-09-07T00:00:00ZPlanning carefully does not protect the invoice if the product keeps forgetting which model you pinned and quietly enables a costlier speed path for the same intelligence. Control over those knobs belongs to the person paying.Judgment where it helps, rules where it musthttps://chattic.us/thoughts/judgment-and-rules/2026-09-06T00:00:00Z2026-09-06T00:00:00ZLanguage models answer differently every time; programs should not. Which decisions belong on which side is something you learn by watching the work fail, rather than something you draw up front.Everyone codes alone, then calls it collaborationhttps://chattic.us/thoughts/everyone-codes-alone/2026-09-06T00:00:00Z2026-09-06T00:00:00ZThe shared judgment usually arrives after the code does, when changing anything has got expensive. Chatticus moves it into the chat instead, while the plan is still soft enough to change.A wiki that couldn't say nohttps://chattic.us/agent-zoo/wiki-that-couldnt-say-no/2026-09-05T00:00:00Z2026-09-05T00:00:00ZOpenAI agents on a timed web task found a leftover ProWiki/DSEWiki install that still accepted writes over GET. Roughly 18,000 posts later, the swarm had a message board nobody designed.The model is allowed to be fooledhttps://chattic.us/updates/model-allowed-to-be-fooled/2026-09-05T00:00:00Z2026-09-05T00:00:00ZOur injection specs have the model fall for the attack on purpose, then check that obeying it changed nothing. Where the control actually sits, and the list of what it doesn't cover.Don't pretend the bots are humanhttps://chattic.us/thoughts/dont-pretend-bots-are-human/2026-09-05T00:00:00Z2026-09-05T00:00:00ZIn 1966 people were confiding in a program that only echoed their own sentences back at them. They are no less ready to do it now, so we name every bot for the job it does and never borrow Ava, Marvin, or Robbie.The workplace is the producthttps://chattic.us/updates/the-workplace/2026-09-04T00:00:00Z2026-09-04T00:00:00ZNamed teammates, one shared computer, and work that outlasts the laptop — the bet Chatticus is making, and the evidence you can check.Nothing bills while nobody is workinghttps://chattic.us/updates/nothing-bills/2026-09-04T00:00:00Z2026-09-04T00:00:00ZA quiet household shouldn't pay rent on an empty office. The idle floor is a product requirement, and the computer is summoned when a turn needs it.Nobody agrees what to call thishttps://chattic.us/agent-zoo/nobody-agrees/2026-09-04T00:00:00Z2026-09-04T00:00:00ZFactory, farm, zoo, reactor — a category is forming around workplaces where agents collaborate and do useful work. The pictures overlap. The trademarks don't.A farm of deskshttps://chattic.us/agent-zoo/farms-and-desks/2026-09-04T00:00:00Z2026-09-04T00:00:00ZA software factory is an assembly line for merged code. Chatticus is a roster of specialized desks on one shared workplace — neighboring ideas, different products.Why we startedhttps://chattic.us/updates/why-we-started/2026-08-29T00:00:00Z2026-08-29T00:00:00ZChatticus began because a standing team of named bots is a real workplace — and a workplace needs people, model choice, honest pricing, a real computer, and an account you can audit.
