@iRobot @NeatoRobotics @PetronicsInc 6/ Which is also why product refunds after 7/15/30 days are well suited for #automation and #AI solutions. The flaws that matter to you surface over time.

@iRobot @NeatoRobotics @PetronicsInc 5/ You might have read great reviews of these robots but most reviews are rushed, superficial, and not considering a variety of scenarios that might present over time. The time dimension is essential and completely overlooked.

@iRobot @NeatoRobotics @PetronicsInc 4/ Especially on the consumer side, available intelligent #automation tech is mostly for early adopters, willing to try and patiently deal with flaws, dedicating to it way more time than they were supposed to save.

@iRobot @NeatoRobotics @PetronicsInc 3/ SW/HW #automation has made exceptional progress over the last decade, but we are still far away from a deploy-and-forget scenario that matches the expectations of most people.

@iRobot @NeatoRobotics @PetronicsInc 2/ The amount of human supervision (not even maintenance) that #automation requires is still astonishing, denying all the promised benefits except in very few specific use cases where everything in the environment is as intended (it almost never is).

1/ I try all sort of #automation and #AI (so much that I could write a blog about it). In 2019, among others, I *extensively* tested robots from @irobot (i7+), @neatorobotics (D7), and @petronicsinc (Mousr). And I have to say that the technology is not there yet.

This is #dating, before realistic #VR arrives. Imagine after.

“If you have a fixed amount of money to spend—and your goal is to display your friendship, rather than to actually help the recipient—you’ll be better off deliberately not shopping for value.” https://t.co/jB7detYksL

A must-read regardless of your role in the industry (#founders, marketing, sales, PM, bizdev). In 20y of career I’ve seen many of the stereotypes described in this book, perpetuated by seasoned marketers and PR pros alike. I wish I had this book when I was running my own startup. https://t.co/ScfGTYM6v7
