Thank you @maticrobots. Super impressed as a customer (nudged by @mickymalka) of the UX, the build quality, the cleaning + more! Bravo.

Plus our Amazon Astro robot has a friend...

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

The Matic hype on here is crazy. It's also well-deserved.

My story:

I bought one in 2025 after seeing a few tech people obsessing over it. I was expecting to be disappointed after universally bad experiences with robot vacuums.

30 days later, I bought devices for my parents and sister and was emailing the team convincing them to let me invest.

The biggest things for me:
- New gesture/voice controls are magical
- Runs at night, quiet
- Continuous improvements via software
- Fun to watch navigate challenges
- Son loves it (cool way to talk robotics)
- Saves me hours of cleaning per month

It feels like a glimpse into future of home robotics in a very familiar way. It's not hard to imagine where this goes as you build up towards full home robotics devices.

One real downside: Ever since the voice control release, my 4-year-old thinks it's hilarious to spill things semi-intentionally and call out, “Hey Matic, clean the playroom” just to see it work.

🤣

And yes, they did finally let me invest a tiny amount. Though I'm also a full price, paying customer, because I don't believe in recommending anything to others that I'm not willing to pay for myself.

[Kendall Pennington @Kenny___Rose]

hes not kidding. got mine yesterday and am obsessed with it lol

mopped and vacuumed whole apartment spotless in an hour. so impressed with both its precision in cleaning and the charm of the onboarding ux

great work @maticrobots team :)

Glad to have you here @hariharan_tp

A lot of people ask why I left Waymo for Matic. To them, self-driving cars feel like a much bigger challenge than a robot vacuum.

I used to think the same way, until conversations with Navneet and Mehul changed my mind. The chaos inside a home is wildly underrated as a hard problem, and that's exactly what pulled me in.

Physical AI is here, and Matic is one of the first edge-computing household robots that will actually live in people's homes at scale. Huge respect to the team for staying so customer-obsessed while building it.

[Karthik C @ckarthikck]

I’ve been at Matic for more than five years, and I still feel like I am learning something new every day. The flavor of the problems may change, but the impact continues to feel real.

We are constantly striving to build best-in-class home robots for our customers, thinking through every detail: design language, functionality, packaging, ease of use, and every interaction a customer has with the product.

Truly grateful to be part of this team and community, and excited to keep learning, building, and raising the bar. 🤖

P.S. The video is from when I unboxed Matic in my own home and seeing it come out of the package and getting to experience that moment as a customer myself was incredibly delightful. Don’t mind the name :p

[Mehul @mehul]

It took us 9 years, 11 prototypes, and our life savings to learn that every great product has the same design process.

Matic is now decisively the best home robot for families (I'm biased)

A 500-word thread and video on the Universal Design Process behind every great product:

[Alpesh Desai @data_guru]

Perfect symbiosis: she doesn’t attack the Matic; in return, the Matic makes her endless supply of dog hair disappear. 🐕🤝🤖 @maticrobots @mehul

[Katie Miller @KatieMiller]

We really love our Matic.

Millions of American homes have Chinese made robots mapping their homes and listening to their conversations.

It’s the only robot vacuum built in America on the market.

[Faraz 🇺🇸 🚀 @_Faraz]

I @maticrobots at the office, at home, and at the garage !

It’s the only way to be sure.

[Yun-Ta Tsai @yunta_tsai]

OMG. I asked my Chief Engineer on Grok @bot to bring up the feature and it's done. 😳

I can text my @maticrobots now through my Grok @bot—anywhere and anytime.

[Mehul @mehul]

this was great... finally getting asked real questions about robotics..

[Matic Robots @maticrobots]

four little Matics sitting in a row. 🐤🐤🐤🐤

Mama said "hey Matic" and they all turned so.

[Nikunj Kothari @nikunj]

“Matic” was one of the first ten words my son learned.. and he treats it as the fifth member of the family.

Using @maticrobots also made it clear to me that useful home robots are here to stay.

They continue to surprise and delight us with gestures like this - true 10 year overnight success company.

Kudos to the team!!

(obligatory not an investor, just a fan)

[Paul Graham @paulg]

@bscholl @maticrobots @ImpulseLabs I had a Matic robot cruising around the kitchen while I was doing office hours today. It gave the place an appropriately futuristic air.

[Wes Bos @wesbos]

“Hey matic, follow me”

“Hey matic, clean this”

This is actually so useful. Kids have a little spill, you just point at the spot and it goes to work

[Anshuman Kumar @anshuman_builds]

As designers, we made our life difficult by committing to the design principle of “minimize cognitive load for user”.

Every seasoned HW engineer looked at it and asked, why? Why not just do the easy thing. Copy from established HW and just integrate. Many never joined, many joined and quit because they got frustrated.

Some people didn’t even get it, it’s not sexy enough for them to work on. Oh well.

Young engineers joined and many of them struggled to see it also. Why is this whole thing so complex?

The people who stayed and pushed, are the ones who get to claim the credit for building this thing.

No one day was super duper hard, it’s just a lot of medium hard days one after the other for 8 years.

Fetch water, chop wood.

So happy to see customers get utility from the team’s hard work @maticrobots

[Mehul @mehul]

this is the moment. 9 years in the making. what we've been building toward since 2017.

today we rolled out Matic Cues.

Matic is now the first home robot to understand 70+ spoken languages and human body language, including pointing at a mess on the floor.

humans have understood each other through cues for 200,000 years.

academia spent decades on human-to-robot interaction. we think the answer was always simpler: the best way to talk to a robot is the same way we talk to each other.

this matters most for families. a family isn't just app-savvy adults. it's kids. grandparents. people who don't speak English. people who just don't want another app.

Cues means anyone can use Matic.

today is the beginning of the end of the app.

for everyday cleaning, you won't need it at all. you'll just say:

"hey Matic, clean this."
"hey Matic, clean the kitchen."
"come here."
"follow me."
"go to the living room."
"come to the sink."

in any of 70+ languages.
the way you'd talk to anyone.
