While everyone’s chasing humanoids that cost $100,000+ and barely ship... Weave Robotics is doing the opposite. • General-purpose design • Voice/text/app control • Remote fallback system • And it’s shipping this year Let’s break this down: 👇

You’ve never had a robot in your home. Not a real one. Not one that folds your laundry, finds your keys, feeds your cat, and keeps your plants alive. Until now. A stealth startup out of YC just launched... something wild 🧵

A personal robot. For your actual home. It tidies, organizes, feeds, waters, secures, and even takes photos... fully autonomous, or remotely operated if needed. It's called Isaac. Built by @weaverobotics. And it's built by ex-Apple engineers. 👇

Isaac is a wheeled robot. Why? Because it’s safer, more stable, and just works better in your home than legged robots. No falling down stairs. No reboots. No BS. Just real-world functionality.

What can Isaac actually do? ✅ Fold your laundry ✅ Tidy up your living room ✅ Feed your dog ✅ Water your plants ✅ Find lost items ✅ Take photos on demand ✅ Keep watch while you're away All controllable by voice, app, or text.

But it gets better. Weave built-in hybrid autonomy from the start. If Isaac gets stuck? Their team can remotely take over: complete the task, train the AI, and push an update. No hallucinating. No failure loops. It just gets done. [folding merch on a YC event, AI Startup School]

Privacy was non-negotiable. • Physical retractable camera • Local-only data processing • Microphone only activates on command • Auto-stow mode when not in use In a world of surveillance gadgets, Isaac respects your space.

Who built this? @evan_wineland and @kaandogrusoz. Both ex-Apple. Both CMU grads. Both obsessed with robotics since college. They helped ship: • Siri Intelligence • Apple Watch Double Tap • Core ML Robotics stacks Now they’re building robots... for your living room. [Watch my interview with co-founder & CEO Kaan]

How much? Isaac costs $59,000. Or $1,385/month over 4 years. Reservations open now with a $1,000 refundable deposit. It’s not for everyone... but for the early wave of full-home automation? It’s real. And it’s here.

This is what robotic progress looks like: Not flashy humanoids with viral videos… But a working robot that feeds your cat when you're in Bali. Isaac won’t make headlines yet; but it's about to make life quieter, cleaner, and easier.
