How Memories.ai launched MemoriesUpload on X
Lets robotics teams collect high-quality first-person video of everyday tasks
What Memories.ai launched

Today we launch #MemoriesUpload. Robots need internet-scale first-person video of how people get things done. Collecting this at high quality takes hardware, model and infra working together. That's what we've spent over a year building. And already, 3 of the top 5 frontier https://t.co/lVSkVj2yrQ

About the launch
Robotics labs that train on human video still mostly have footage shot from the outside, which leaves out the hands, tools, and corrections a robot has to learn. Memories Upload is Memories.ai's paid capture network for that footage. A contributor claims a task in the iOS or Android app, such as prepping a kitchen, folding laundry, or fixing a bike, wears a LUCI Pin, and does the work as usual. The clip uploads on its own, idle time is trimmed, and pay is tied to hours that pass review. The Pin weighs under 45 grams, records 2K video with audio, and snaps onto wrist, chest, neck, cap, or headband mounts. Two Pins can be worn together for a stereo view. Clips land in a Video Data Lake, where the company's Large Visual Memory Model indexes each one into hand pose, head pose, object mesh, action segments, and dense captions that labs can query through an API. Memories.ai reports more than 1 million hours of first-person video collected in two months, with more than 5,000 Pins deployed, and says three of the top five frontier robotics labs are already training on the data. Co-founder and CEO Shawn Shen, who posted the launch, and co-founder and CTO Ben Zhou previously built on-device perception at Meta Reality Labs, including the AI system behind Meta's Ray-Ban glasses. The company was founded in 2025. Faces are blurred before footage enters a training set, audio is not sold, and a contributor can delete a clip before payment.
