The workplace is the product

The chat window is only the door. What is behind it is a place: bots that keep their own name and remember what they were doing, one shared computer between them, and work that carries on after you shut the laptop and go to bed.

Chatticus is a workplace where people and named bots share files, a Linux computer, and a system of authority. A bot keeps a name, a role, and memory. Several bots share one computer — the same /workspace, the same browser sessions, the same terminal — and each gets its own screen so they can work in parallel. Closing the laptop doesn't stop the work.

That's the product. The chat tab is how you walk into the room.

v1 is personal: one household, one AWS account, as many named teammates as we want. Every record already carries a tenant_id, so other organizations can arrive later without a rewrite. The computer belongs to the organization, not to a bot, and separate bots aren't a security boundary.

You can check all of this. The source is MIT licensed, and the product model says the same things this page says. The specifications are the written rules for membership, turns, approvals, and recovery. The homepage lays out the same three parts: the roster, the computer, and the line consequential work stops at.

The bet underneath all of it is the part we'd defend today: named teammates, one computer, human approval at the consequential edge. That is what we'll still be pointing at when this archive is long enough to need a search box.
