Hey HN, Aron here, founder of Gatsby. Today (May 14, 2026) we made U.S. history with the first humanoid robot cleaning service delivered to a consumer in the US — we picked someone off our SF waitlist, drove a humanoid to their apartment, and it cleaned the place.

Pricing is $150 flat in SF, any size apartment. Cleaning took a few hours including setup.

Curious to hear any thoughts and happy to answer any questions.

Genuine question. Define cleaning? Does it mostly wipe off surfaces or can it also do things like scrub toilets, make beds, take out trash, etc?

Also is this fully automated or is someone sitting in an office with a VR headset? How monitored is the whole process?

Lastly, specs on the robot you used in the landing page? I'm genuinely curious.

When I get back to SF in a few weeks I may hit you up. My place could use a deep cleaning.

Awesome job! It really frees up my hands. As another reviewer mentioned, I’m so curious to know exactly what this robot can do when cleaning a room, how thoroughly it cleans, and who can monitor its status and how.
