We are pleased to announce that a revised set of information regarding generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) at our university is now available at ki.hwr-berlin.de. From there, you can access the new AI chat directly; it serves as a modern web interface for working with AI.
You can log in to the AI-Chat using your HWR Berlin user account.
Instructions and information on how to use it can be found at:
https://ki.hwr-berlin.de/en/abou-ai-chat/instructions/
First login to the AI-Chat
When logging into the AI chat for the first time, the interface may take longer to load. You can shorten this time by manually reloading the page (F5 key).
Please also note
HAWKI (hawki.hwr-berlin.de) is available until September 30, 2026. The AI chat will completely replace this service on October 1, 2026.
The technical operation of the application is handled by the Information Technology Department. This includes, in particular, providing the platform, maintenance and updates, and ensuring technical availability.

Certificate for Employees
Successful completion of the online training course “Strengthening AI Competence for Employees” on Moodle is a prerequisite for staff in service, technical, and administrative roles, as well as academic staff, to gain access to the AI tools available for professional use. The certificate obtained must be submitted to the Human Resources department (or office management).
Ask us
As part of the new web interface for working with generative AI—specifically the AI chat—we are initially offering the opportunity to attend the ELZ online consultation session. This is intended to give you the chance to familiarize yourself with the service and ask questions.
