Ever since I first read about this place on getquin, it's been dropping like a stone. I only had a quick look back then and thought I was at the world championship in bullshit bingo.
People: The thing is a glorified Thermomix (and just as expensive in comparison), it has absolutely nothing to do with AI, if anything then with robotics, and the business model and the figures seem far, far, far too optimistic to me. On top of that, the company's PR is completely out of touch, with lots of blah-blah but extremely few tangible company figures.
I also doubt the 500 orders. You'd have to take a close look at whether/how many are just a letter of intent.
I wouldn't even touch it with a pair of pliers.

@Charmin thanks for bringing some wisdom here. I completely agree with your take.
To be honest, a lot of this feels like PR theater and LinkedIn optics more than a genuine breakthrough. It’s the usual circle where executives post, congratulate each other, and amplify the narrative.
They do have AITME robots live on site, but AITME was already building those long before “AI” became the buzzword it is today. What’s there now is essentially a robotic arm designed to perform highly repetitive, predefined tasks. It’s efficient, yes, but it’s not autonomous decision-making, and it’s not some step change in intelligence. It’s automation dressed up in today’s AI narrative. + they paid small firms to give them insane ratings which is ridicoulous.
