every robotics company that died young had a beautiful product roadmap and zero customers willing to yell at them weekly

In talking to many physical AI companies, a pattern has emerged: there are two types of robotics founders: Hardware-first and software-first. And software-first founders are growing. They don't just build differently, they think differently. The gap between them is where a new field of opportunities can come from. hapticlabs.ai/blog/2026/04/0…

right wouldn't you agree there are levels of intelligence below sentience the average software program is less complicated than the hindbrain of a mammal and the game NPCs have less responsiveness than a fruitfly

Co-sign. I’d add, though, that the best version of this isn’t built for humans. It should just be an MCP plus good cli tooling.

2026 is a terrible time to build a robotics company. Imagine building a software company without AWS, Stripe, or GitHub. Everything from scratch. That's robotics today. Most robotics teams waste their first 6–12 months rebuilding the same data infrastructure, telemetry, internal tools, pipelines. None of it is core IP. I started @AlloyRobotics to SPEEDRUN all of it. A modern stack so robotics teams can iterate 10x faster than their competition. If you're building in this space, lets talk.
