Speaker A

My name is Bernd, and today we're launching NEO, our humanoid for the home. NEO, the robot, nanny. Let you live with it? Yeah. You're just now telling me?

00:13

Speaker A

Well, what does it do? It's like my chores. I just leave and I come back and they're all done. Are you kidding me? No.

00:39

Speaker A

I don't know. This all started a decade ago, working really hard on making what is NEO a reality. But to me personally, this started when I was like 10 years old. I grew up reading these beautiful books and watching these beautiful sci-fi movies where

01:31

Speaker A

the future was all about how we as humans, we really focus on the things that matter to us. You know, Rosie the robot would be ensuring family had time or data would help humanity explore the galaxy. And I really

01:47

Speaker A

hope that when you get your NEO now, we can help give you back some of that time so you can really spend it on what you feel is very meaningful to you.

02:01

Speaker A

Thank you. To stay ain't no sunshine when she's gone and this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away and I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know. NEO is a humanoid companion designed to transform your life at home. It combines

02:56

Speaker A

AI and advanced hardware to help with daily chores and bring intelligence into your everyday life. NEO was engineered from the ground up for safety. Its tendon-driven body is quiet and lightweight. Its low energy motions make it uniquely safe for you and your

03:09

Speaker A

home. But safe doesn't mean limited. NEO's hardware comes packed with features like human-level dexterity and a 55-pound carrying capacity so that it can handle any of your chores reliably. We also worked really hard to make NEO's design friendly and comfortable to be

03:23

Speaker A

around. Each NEO comes with a machine washable knit suit, a head, and shoes that you can customize to fit your style. As for using your NEO, we made the experience simple. Out of the box, the core of your experience is fully autonomous. The

03:36

Speaker A

chores feature lets you schedule a time for your NEO to do all of your chores so you can come back to a cleaner home every day. With the AI companion feature, you can talk to your NEO to get assistance with anything from a

03:46

Speaker A

hard question to a household task. With NEO's autonomy, you can get access to all of its latest AI features to get help with tasks on demand, and the NEO app lets you interact with your NEO from anywhere. But all you have to do

03:56

Speaker A

to get started is turn on your NEO and introduce yourself. Hey, I'm NEO. I'm here to help around the house. What's your name? I'm Harry. Nice to meet you, Harry. When you have a question or want something done, just

04:19

Speaker A

let me know. We built the chores feature to give you your time back. You give your NEO a list of chores. You schedule a time that you want them done so that you can focus on what matters to you while your NEO does the rest. You

04:44

Speaker A

can schedule chores by either talking to your NEO or using the app. The way it works is you schedule a time that works best for you and then you create a list of chores, whether it's something more specific like watering the plants on

04:54

Speaker A

Tuesdays or something more general like tidying the house. Your NEO will get it done at the scheduled time. If there are any chores that your NEO hasn't learned how to do autonomously, you can use expert mode to have an expert from 1X supervise

05:05

Speaker A

the session and provide corrective intervention to help NEO complete any task. Anytime you're away from home and you want to see what your NEO is up to, you can open the app and see directly from NEO's point of view.

06:31

Speaker A

I can't seem to find my glasses. Is this paprika? No, that's cayenne pepper. Also, your glasses are on your shirt.

06:44

Speaker A

Could I use this in my chili? They're both made from chili peppers, and you could put cayenne in your chili, but it is much spicier. NEO is a speech-enabled AI companion made for any kind of conversation. Where other AI assistants are confined

06:59

Speaker A

to your phone or computer, NEO lives with you in your physical space and has the ability to see, hear, and remember things about your surrounding environment to provide you with uniquely helpful assistance. For example, it can suggest what to cook based on what

07:13

Speaker A

you have in the fridge, remember your progress while teaching you a new language, and even give you interior design advice. The gestures and the light rings express NEO's intentions.

07:23

Speaker A

Its audio intelligence can also pick up on whether you are addressing it or someone else in the room to decide if it should respond or not. As you might expect from a home robot, talking to NEO with natural language is the primary user

07:33

Speaker A

interface for all of NEO's functionality, including autonomy. Your NEO comes with Redwood AI, enabling it to do basic household tasks autonomously.

08:10

Speaker A

NEO's autonomy works by taking requests like... Hey NEO, can you take this cup to the sink for me? ...and breaking it down into simple steps, such as walking to the person, grabbing the cup, and then walking the cup to the kitchen, and then

08:23

Speaker A

putting it away. NEO's autonomy improves with diverse data and real-world experience. As NEO does more chores, you'll receive updates to your Redwood model that increase the complexity of tasks that NEO can handle, such as finding your keys and wallet, or doing a

08:36

Speaker A

full laundry cycle end-to-end. The NEO will become fully autonomous, capable of helping you with anything around the house.

09:09

Speaker A

The NEO you get today will only get better. And as we keep shipping features, it'll be more and more useful in your everyday life. Now, the journey there is not going to be perfect. And we're not going to pretend it's going to be.

09:24

Speaker A

But as someone who lives with NEO every day, there is no experience quite as magical. So today, we're excited to invite you in on this journey. We believe that the future will be shaped not just by us, but by all of you who

09:39

Speaker A

believe in this as deeply as we do. Now, if this is you, pre-order your NEO today at 1X.tech.
