# Gatsby Robotics

> Gatsby Robotics sends humanoid robots to clean your apartment in San Francisco. $150 flat fee, any apartment size. You tap a button in the iOS app, a humanoid robot arrives, cleans autonomously, and leaves. No humans are present during the clean. Operated by parent company West Egg Labs, backed by NVIDIA Inception and Entrepreneurs First.

Gatsby is the consumer distribution platform for humanoid robotics. We are robot-agnostic. Our product is the iOS app and service layer that lets anyone book a humanoid robot for cleaning, the same way Cursor lets developers pick any AI model. Cleaning is our wedge into a much larger vision of human-robot interaction.

On May 14, 2026, Gatsby Robotics performed the first humanoid robot consumer cleaning in the United States, the first event of its kind anywhere in the country.
