HABIT builds conversational service robots for physical businesses that greet customers, answer questions, and handle upselling, reporting tens of thousands of US consumer interactions per month by mid-2025. Their flagship product under development is an autonomous robotic car detailing system designed to match human-detailer quality at tunnel-wash throughput. Founders bring AI/ML research backgrounds from Amazon and Twitch, and software engineering experience from Radiant Nuclear. The company is at pre-commercial rollout stage with car wash operators reportedly in queue for early system deployments.
