- He describes building it for himself as a non-developer to chain prompts and build repeatable workflows without coding.
Physical AI Is Rapidly Leaving The Lab
- Humanoid robots appearing at the White House show physical AI moving from lab demos to public environments within a year.
- Jaeden points to Figure's robot speaking 11 languages and partnering trends like Agile Robots with Google DeepMind for real-world manufacturing deployments.
SoftBank Investment Highlights High Barrier To Entry
