microagi launches shift home-cleaning data service in New York
microagi launched shift in New York, offering free apartment cleaning in exchange for first-person recordings used to train robotics models.
Evidence notes
- Vetted cleaners wear head-mounted cameras while completing household tasks, and shift anonymises sensitive information before the data is used.
- The service launched publicly on May 28 and received thousands of booking requests after its initial announcement.
- shift uses the recordings as physical-work training data for AI labs and robotics companies.
