What Intelligence Factory does

Robotics is the new paradigm. With hardware converging, Intelligence is the biggest bottleneck. Our world was built for humans and we're giving robots the ability to reason and act like us. The way we learn any task - by seeing, doing, and feeling - is how we train robots. We're building general intelligence that works on any robot and fits seamlessly within our world.

Human Intelligence for Robots

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build general intelligence that lets any robot see, do, and feel tasks the way humans do. Our software trains robots by teaching them to reason and act in a physical world designed for humans. It works across different hardware platforms to give robots the ability to learn and operate autonomously in manufacturing and robotics settings.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is based and it keeps us close to partners, potential customers, and AI robotics talent.
