Important announcement: Automata is becoming an app.
iOS and Android, in build now.
Almost every clip we've received was filmed on a phone, so the phone is where this should live. Open the app, record one take, review it, submit, get paid.
The web recorder keeps working meanwhile: https://t.co/pctgf4qvWY

Clip 006 accepted and paid.
Nine seconds of a hand turning the pages of a book.
Paper is one of the hardest things for a robot hand — thin, floppy, and it moves the moment you touch it. Someone did it without thinking and got 8.50 USDG for the take.
Six clips in the corpus, 81 USDG out, every transaction public.

Our goal is to scale progressively the payments we offer, reaching 100$ per unique/original clip in the mid-term, and 1000$ in the long term.
Information is the most valuable asset in this new era of robotics, and we’re making sure retail users can benefit from it too.

All LLMs are trained on data available across articles, social media, and online documents.
Physical robotics need more than that. Robots need to learn directly from us, humans, to effectively replicate real-world tasks.
That’s why $AUTO exists: to benefit both the robotics industry and the users helping train robots through their videos, rewarding them directly in USDG.

Outdoor clips now pay 10 USDG.
Watering the garden, washing the car, walking the dog, fixing a bike... Anything you'd do outside, filmed from your own eyeline, one take, 5 to 30s.
Indoors stays at 8.50. Paid on Robinhood Chain.
Big milestone: first submission received, reviewed and paid.
5 seconds of a hand picking up a can.
8.50 USDG standing rate + 30 USDG for being first = 38.50 USDG.
Both transfers are on Robinhood Chain — the clip and the hashes are on the site.

Quick demo of the site:
What your clips teach a robot, how the review works, the public payout ledger, and the part that matters, where you upload a video, train a robot and get paid in USDG.
One take, filmed from your own eyeline.

Kick-off bonus.
The first clip we accept gets 25 USDG on top of the standing 8.50.
33.50 USDG for one 30-second video of you doing something ordinary.
Film a chore from your own eyeline. A person reviews it. The chain pays you.

Robots learn hands by watching people. The footage that teaches it was shot in labs: clean bench, even light, one object at a time.
Your kitchen is none of those things — which is why it's worth paying for.
8.50 USDG per approved clip.
