I’m still waiting for an AI-powered machine that can make masala chai the Indian way. That vision isn’t far off. We’ve already seen what AI can do in the digital world, and now it’s moving into the physical one.
We’re entering an era of Physical AGI where intelligent machines don’t just generate responses, but take real-world actions. It won’t begin with humanoids walking the streets, but with focused, high-impact applications in:
These industries face labor shortages, safety risks, and operational inefficiencies, exactly where physical intelligence can make the biggest difference. This isn’t about job loss. It’s about augmenting human work, handling tasks that are dangerous, repetitive, or time-consuming.
To get there, we’ll need new hardware, new models, and, most of all, bold founders solving tough, real-world problems in robotics, edge computing, and domain-specific data.
