Works without an account.
The same rule our apps follow. A robot that stops working when a company’s server goes away is a rental with extra steps.

PrototypeTiny robots. One job each.
Small robots that live on a desk or a shelf and do one useful thing really well, instead of one impressive thing badly. It’s a working prototype today: not for sale, no ship date, and we’re not taking money for it.
Why small
The robots that last do one thing.
Consumer robotics keeps trying to build a household machine that does everything, and the results are expensive, fragile, and quietly retired after a year. The robots that survived in people’s homes did the opposite. A robot vacuum isn’t intelligent. It’s cheap, it does one job, and it does it while you’re out.
That’s the shape we’re after. Small enough to sit on a desk. Cheap enough that it isn’t a decision. Narrow enough that it actually works.
What exists today
It moves. It senses. It runs our code.
A working prototype, and we’re genuinely excited about it. But it isn’t a product yet: no enclosure worth showing, no manufacturing plan, no price. Anyone who tells you the gap between those two things is small hasn’t crossed it.
We’d rather say that plainly than put a render and a countdown on a page. When there’s something to buy, this is where it will appear.
What we’re getting right
Four rules, no exceptions.
Works without the internet.
Whatever thinking it does happens on the device. Shipping video to a data center to recognize a desk is a choice, not a requirement.
Opens with a screwdriver.
Screws, not glue. Published parts. A small robot that can’t be opened is landfill on a delay.
One job, done well.
We’d rather ship something narrow that works than something broad that demos.
What should a tiny robot do for you?
A specific job on a desk, in a workshop or around the house is worth more to us right now than a signature on a waiting list. We’ll write when there’s something real to show, and nothing else.
