Introducing Cues: Voice & Gesture control for Matic
We raised $115M and spent 9 years to make the world’s first intuitive home robot
Say you spilled coffee: Point to the spill and say, "Hey Matic, clean this" and it will hear, see, locate in 3D, and go clean on its own.
Matic comes with a lot of features:
1. Say "Hey Matic" - it locates your voice, turns, and looks at you
2. Say "Hey Matic, follow me" and start walking. Matic will follow behind
3. Say "Hey Matic, go clean the living room". Since it knows your house map, it navigates and just does it
It's so easy, a 5 year old and an 80 year old can use it and it understands 75 different languages.
Matic has 8x the airflow, specialised cleaning algorithms for rugs, corners, toekicks, mopping, etc and cleans better than any other robot vacuum.
Also keeps improving with software updates.
13,000 families use and love Matic.
WIRED magazine gave it a 10/10 (the only hardware to receive this rating in a decade)
Buy yours at maticrobots.com and if you don't love it after 6 months, we'll give you a full refund.
To celebrate our launch, we're cleaning 300 homes with Matic in San Francisco and New York City.
Comment "Matic" below, we'll send you the link to sign up and come to your doorstep to clean your home with Matic.

“A robot demo is easy.
Shoot it 50,000 times and it only has to work once.
But until it’s 99.999% reliable, it’s not ready for homes.”
— Founding hardware engineer @anshuman_builds

My three biggest expensive purchases that were totally worth the money:
1. Herman Miller Embody gaming chair
2. @eightsleep
3. @maticrobots
All of them are legit quality of life improvements.

Finally bit the bullet and picked up an @maticrobots, highly recommend. So much better than the Roomba.

Why use a round robot to clean your square corners?
Matic was intentionally designed to fix this
We’re holding Matic at $1,395 for a week before raising it to $1,495

Matic is for everyone! 🤍
My parents absolutely adore @maticrobots as if it was their puppy! I set it up on a schedule for them but I always get notifications when they talk to it and it’s daily!

"100% the best robot vacuum I've ever used"
Thank you @JamesonCamp 🤍
I wanted to ACTUALLY test @maticrobots before I hopped on the bandwagon and just post about it since I wasn’t paid
And I can tell you now, it’s 100% the best robot vacuum I’ve ever used
I’m actually normally a robot vacuum hater
The trick is to run it a couple times a week.
Once a month you probably need to clean the floors yourself for a good deep clean
But in between Matic is amazing and listens to me!
It’s quiet and actually good at cleaning ha

Been testing out the @maticrobots and I’m pretty impressed so far. A lot of little autonomy stack and UX decisions here I like.
Some early thoughts 🧵

Fun to sit down with @mehul to talk through his hard-earned lessons from the @maticrobots journey from ideation to deployment in over 10,000 homes

Hardware from zero is the hardest founder mode.
@mehul walks through how we went from first prototype to shipping thousands of robots:
• 170 design iterations
• the mistakes second-time founders keep making
• why every robot vacuum has 20 eyes and no brain
Full breakdown 👇
Masterclass on Shipping Hardware From Zero
Founder of @maticrobots sat down with 30 hardware founders to answer their questions and detail how he went from first prototype to shipping thousands of robot vacuums.
