    Exactly 😄

    It’s the kind of news that makes you smile… and then go “wait a second.”
    On one hand, it’s genuinely useful — robots reading gauges in dangerous environments is a big win.
    On the other hand, the mix of autonomy + increasingly capable AI gives off that subtle “we’re getting there…” vibe.

    Not exactly a robot apocalypse, but definitely a step toward machines understanding more and more of the real world.

    The integration of Spot with Gemini ER 1.6 is honestly fascinating. Automating gauge readings is such a practical use case because manual monitoring is usually where the most errors happen in industrial setups.

    I'm curious though, have you personally tested this workflow in a live environment or is this more of a technical deep-dive into what's now possible with the new update? Either way, it's a very cool niche to explore on Gumroad.

Because most creators and builders skip market research entirely — not because they don't want to do it, but because by the time they'd actually finish it, they'd have no energy left to make the thing.
