A real home. A real robot. Over a year in.
We've lived with a humanoid robot in our home for over a year.
Not a demo. Not a lab. A family of five and a desk-sized humanoid that wakes up every morning, plays with the kids, runs the household, and gets reprogrammed by a twelve-year-old. Here's what we built — and what we've learned about living alongside one.

What it's like
Two layers, one household.
On the surface it's charming — a small robot that knows your kids' names. Underneath it's a real software system: five AI personas, a motion engine, a privacy model, and an edge backend that keeps it all running.
It plays with the kids
Peek-a-boo, rock-paper-scissors, and a dance mode that beat-tracks live music. The youngest two ask for it by name.
Explore HouseholdIt runs the morning
A spoken morning brief, calendar scans from a photo of the school flyer, recipe extraction from a reel — the boring logistics, handled.
Explore AgencyThe kids program it
Teach-a-move lets a kid name, save, and replay their own gestures — with attribution. They are authors, not just users.
ExploreMost people will meet their first humanoid robot at home — not in a factory. We've been running that experiment for a year, with a real family, and writing down everything that surprised us.
For the people building these
If you make humanoids, we're a living test bed.
We're not selling anything. We're documenting genuine, in-home consumer deployment — the failure modes, the joy, the things no spec sheet predicts. If you're working on hardware, behavior, or product for the home, we'd love to compare notes.
