AI isn’t coming. It’s already here, part of how we work. But while digital tools evolve at lightning speed, most workplaces haven’t caught up. What would it take for workplaces to evolve and support people and their intelligent assistants side by side?

The Shift in How We Work

Steelcase research reveals that three out of four knowledge workers now use AI tools weekly, yet most say their current workspace still feels built for yesterday. AI is automating repetitive tasks and amplifying cognitive ones, reshaping how people spend their workday and redefining what they expect from their surroundings.

We’re entering an era where mental clarity, creativity, and quiet concentration matter more than ever. Open offices designed for constant collaboration now need zones that let people think deeply, talk privately, and connect with technology without distraction.

Work Is Becoming Multi-Modal

AI assisted work isn’t linear. It jumps between reflection, iteration, and collaboration- sometimes in minutes. Without spaces that flex easily, people lose rhythm and energy.GroundLab, a modular acoustic system built for flexible work, helps restore that rhythm. Its adaptable frames and acoustic panels let people shape their environment as their work shifts, creating privacy without isolation and openness without noise. It’s the physical foundation for better human and digital performance.

Space as a Co-Worker

As AI becomes more present in our daily work, the workspace becomes more than just a backdrop. It becomes a silent partner.

GroundLab’s modular design allows organizations to shape environments that adapt in real time-expanding for collaboration during sprints, then transitioning back to calm focus when needed. It’s a system built to evolve alongside how people and technology work together.

Adaptable by Design

GroundLab transforms open offices into modular ecosystems. Each zone is designed to support a specific mode of work.

Together, these elements help teams flow naturally between tasks without losing focus or energy.

A Workplace That Thinks with You

The result is a workspace that supports both human intuition and digital intelligence. It’s grounded, flexible, and ready for what’s next.

GroundLab creates balance in the age of AI, where people can think deeply, collaborate easily, and feel connected to both their team and their technology.
