### Personal robots for the home--that ship in 2025

Making the world’s first personal robot that's built for the home. Our robot, Isaac, will autonomously tidy up endless messes, fold laundry, and care for your home while you’re away, and we’re shipping our first 30 in fall of 2025.

**What’s the problem?**
-----------------------

The average American spends 3.5 years of their life on housework (cleaning, maintenance, laundry) that they don’t want to do.¹ Our customers (and everyone else we’ve spoken to) want to reclaim that time for themselves and their loved ones. Robots that automate this mundane, repetitive work won’t just finally mean that we’re living like the Jetsons; they’ll mean people get months or years of their lives back.

In order to do much of that work, they have to have a general-purpose design; they have to be capable (i.e., of manipulation across a long tail of tasks), and they have to be safe.

**We’re building Isaac to help**
--------------------------------

[Weave’s]( first robot, Isaac, is the first and only personal robot that meets these requirements for the home and is shipping soon. Isaac will tidy up endless messes, fold laundry, and care for your home while you’re away, and we’re shipping in the fall of 2025.

Isaac acts autonomously when it’s given a voice or text command, or in response to an automation that’s programmed in our app.  When Isaac isn't needed, its camera folds and turns off, its torso lowers, and it stows in the enclosure that's included with every order.

And with Remote Op, users can request that Weave remotely operate their Isaac for a task it can't yet do autonomously.



_Collecting data with our first prototype_

**What we’ve already built**
----------------------------

In two months, we’ve already:

*   assembled our first data collection system and prototype
*   trained Isaac's planner and VLA, combined them with a VLM in our ML pipeline
*   had Isaac autonomously complete its first tasks
*   got our first reservations for Isaac



**The team**
------------

[Evan]( and [Kaan]( are best friends and roommates dating back to 2015 and their time at Carnegie Mellon. They're both Apple veterans: Evan most recently was a Lead AI PM who worked on Next-Gen Siri (Apple Intelligence). Before that, he shipped private, large-scale knowledge graphs for on-device personalization and marquee features like Communication Safety (child safety) and Focus modes. Kaan most recently was a manager in ML Robotics research, and before that, he was a staff ML researcher who shipped Double Tap on the Apple Watch and a lead embedded engineer on the iPhone who spent way too many weeks in factories debugging prototype hardware.



### **Our asks**

If you know anyone who would be interested in having their own Isaac, have them check out our [website]( where they can now reserve one directly!  Each Isaac costs $1000 to reserve and nothing more until we deliver in the fall of 2025.

We’re also happy to talk to interested folks in more detail; reach us at [founders@weaverobots.com](mailto:founders@weaverobots.com).
