Would you take orders from a chatbot? This Stockholm café is run by an AI manager

Andon Labs has opened an experimental café in Stockholm where the AI chatbot Mona manages back-office operations.

Mona has handled tasks like recruiting staff, securing permits, and ordering supplies, though some ordering choices have been imperfect.

The project is designed to test whether AI can take on real managerial work in everyday businesses.

It also raises broader questions about oversight, ethics, and how automation could affect jobs and the future of work.
