Memo
A wheeled home robot that learns chores from about $200 human-worn gloves instead of teleoperation, later reached a $1.15B valuation, and reaches the public only as a free, invite-only 2026 beta with no price and no dexterous hands.

Grippers, not dexterous hands
Memo does not have humanoid hands. Each arm ends in a custom dual-gripper (a pincer-style tool) tuned for grip strength and precision, with a four-finger gripper form and roughly 3 degrees of freedom at the end effector, plus force feedback and tactile sensing. Sunday designed the hardware around the manipulation data it captured rather than chasing a five-fingered hand, so this is a deliberate choice, not a cost cut. It can still handle wine glasses and fold socks, but if you expect human-like fingers, this is not that.

Reality check
You cannot buy this, there is no price, and it has grippers not hands: what you can actually get is an application into a roughly 50-household free beta, and the real story is the training method (a low-cost glove that captured about 10 million chore episodes from real homes) more than the hardware you take home.

You cannot order the Memo today: it is waitlist.
You cannot buy Memo. Entry is an application to the Founding Family beta, from which about 50 US households are chosen. Sunday reported sifting more than 3,000 applicants. This is a selected-tester program, not a sale.

Price notes: No consumer price is published and you cannot buy one. The only number Sunday has floated is a target of under $10,000 at scale, against an admitted current build cost near $20,000, and even that is a stated goal, not a price tag. The 2026 Founding Family beta is free for the roughly 50 selected households, so nobody is paying anything yet.

What it does on day onewith zero programming
For a selected beta household, Memo arrives able to run real long-horizon chores on day one with no programming: clearing and wiping a table, scraping and loading the dishwasher, folding laundry, putting shoes away, and pulling an espresso shot, all learned from real-home data via the ACT-1 model. You do not teach it or code it. You live with it and it runs its trained skills autonomously (with the rough edges of a beta).
Best for: Households selected into the Founding Family beta who want a real autonomous chore robot in the home and can tolerate beta reliability, plus anyone tracking whether learned-from-humans data (not teleop) is the path to a home robot.
What it takes to developskills, gear, and SDK access
There is no published developer path. Sunday owns the entire stack (hardware, data, ACT-1 model, training) and has not announced an SDK, API, or way for owners or third parties to program new skills. New capabilities come from Sunday retraining the ACT-1 model on more captured human data, not from you writing code. If you want a robot you can develop on, this is not it today.
