Asimov (@tryasimov) pays households and businesses worldwide to record their daily routines, generating thousands of hours a day of diverse human movement data to train humanoid robots.

They've built a global network, along with the full stack, from proprietary collection hardware to annotation tooling, and are already providing data to the largest robotics companies in the world.

Congrats on the launch, @lyemningthou and Anshul!

@jenngrannen So cool

I’m excited to announce that @martinvoiceai has raised $2M to build an AI personal assistant like JARVIS.

@Ethan_Hou10 and I dropped out at 18 & 19 to work on startups. For a year, we were both solo founders.

When I demoed early versions of Martin to friends, they looked at me genuinely concerned. "Wait, you’re dropping out to work on this?” After a while, every new person I demoed/pitched to would tell me to stop being delusional and just go back to college.

Ethan slept on 15 different friend's couches in 2024. One night, a guy’s roommate kicked him out, and he was basically homeless. When I met him, he hadn’t shaved in 2 months and only had a couple weeks of personal runway left.

We were both at rock bottom. But we had two things in common: 1) a childhood dream of building JARVIS, and 2) an unwillingness to quit.

Fast forward 6 months. We are now iterating furiously with our first 10,000 users, and Martin is getting more powerful by the day. He can now send texts, make calls, manage your email/calendar, and more. And we're just getting started.

A special thank you to our investors, including our @ycombinator partners @snowmaker and @wcrosby, @pioneer_fund, @FoundersXVC, @8vdxOfficial, SV Tech Ventures, @tihanseale, @sandhill_mkts, @andyfang, @manikgupta, @JdotJdotF, and a dozen other amazing angels.

@WallStreetSilv Pretty sure there are tools like https://t.co/dP3qN1Nf66 to negotiate these bills for free. Most hospitals will let you off the hook pretty quickly since they expect a lot of people can’t pay

@IsaiahGranet Are most legal cases really that nuanced? Feels like doctors always have so much more to consider. Also IMO people trust doctors > lawyers when it counts

Regardless, I can see the (fewer) lawyers and doctors of the future reserved for the most intricate (or wealthiest) cases
