Chore-Performing AI Robot to Hit Homes in Coming Months

A California tech company is selling an AI humanoid that can make your life easier — but it might break the bank.

The 5’6″ humanoid, from California tech company 1X Technologies, named NEO, is set to launch in the US in early 2026. You don’t ever have to think of washing the dishes or doing laundry ever again, as long as you pay a monthly $499 subscription or just purchase NEO for a whopping $20,000

You’ll even be able to pick out a color for the helpful bot — tan, gray or dark brown.

“Humanoids were long a thing of sci-fi… then they were a thing of research, but today — with the launch of NEO — humanoid robots become a product,” Bernt Børnich, CEO and Founder OF 1X, said.

“Something that you and me can reach out and touch. NEO closes the gap between our imaginations and the world we live in, to the point where we can actually ask a humanoid robot for help, and help is granted.”
