Independent research & product company
for useful, human-aware AI.
Research memo / 01
We build AI products that can read the room, carry responsibility, and move real work forward—with people still in control.
Plate 01 A damped trajectory converges toward intent while remaining inside a bounded field of action.
Most AI products live inside a blank box. Human work does not. It happens across meetings, messages, applications, promises, interruptions, and unspoken context.
RoboPotato is building for that messy middle: systems that understand where work is happening, know the limits of their authority, and help carry an outcome across the finish line.
Introducing
A personal AI representative that works across the places your life already happens.
Aro can understand your meetings, email, calendar, browser, screen, and tools. Give it an outcome—not a chain of prompts—and it helps plan, coordinate, participate, and follow through.
Open product study ↗Authority should be specific, inspectable, and easy to take back.
Useful intelligence includes timing, roles, relationships, tone, and consent.
A representative must know when to speak, when to ask, and when to stay out.
Continuity matters. So do forgetting, boundaries, and human control.
Operating principles
We measure progress by what becomes easier, clearer, or newly possible.
People should understand what is sensed, remembered, and acted upon.
Warmth can make boundaries clearer and collaboration more natural.
Research and product belong in the same loop. The world is the test.
ROBOTS ARE THE TECHNOLOGY.
POTATOES KEEP US HONEST.
