Field handbook · Rev A You’re joining a small group of people teaching robots how skilled work is really done. You wear a phone on a headband, do real work with your hands, and upload clean footage, and that footage becomes the ground truth a new kind of AI learns from. This handbook has two halves. Read What we’re building first. It’s the same for everyone and explains why your care with the details is the whole product. Then follow the playbook for your role.
New here? Start with What we’re building. It takes about five minutes and no background in AI is needed.
