Show HN: We sent a humanoid robot to clean a stranger's apartment in SF

frishberg — Fri, 15 May 2026 06:15:33 +0000

Hey HN, Aron here, founder of Gatsby. Today (May 14, 2026) we made U.S. history with the first humanoid robot cleaning service delivered to a consumer in the US — we picked someone off our SF waitlist, drove a humanoid to their apartment, and it cleaned the place.

Pricing is $150 flat in SF, any size apartment. Cleaning took a few hours including setup.

Curious to hear any thoughts and happy to answer any questions.

Show HN: I solved my study problems by talking to a goose

polaritymaking — Fri, 15 May 2026 06:06:07 +0000

I used to study by rereading notes, and then I blanked in the exam hall.

Did some research, and found that my experience isn’t isolated, and that passive review doesn’t force retrieval, so nothing sticks, and I knew I had to do something about it.

That’s why I built Professor Goose. You pick a topic, explain it out loud to a goose, and he keeps probing until he understands you. Never gives you the answer, just keeps asking follow ups until a sound understanding is reached, which in turn makes you figure stuff out or realise you never understood your topic in the first place.

Free to try, no account needed, upload your syllabus for exam board specific questions. Curious whether this approach resonates with others, it sure has for me.
