Public ask — terms discussed privately with Milan

Phone inventory pulled live from selflabs.xyz Stripe checkout sessions on Jul 15, 2026. Catalog prices from products-catalog.json / site commercial pages.

The opportunity

AI is everywhere. Presence is rare.

The problem

  • Websites remain static funnels while buyers expect conversation and guidance.
  • Robotics and agent platforms are fragmented — few vendors ship software, hardware, and service together.
  • Enterprises want AI that feels branded, controllable, and deployable — not another chatbot widget.
  • Data and model economics still push people into rented, opaque cloud systems.

Why now

  • Photoreal avatars + LLM tools make conversational sites commercially viable at Lite $3,500 / Pro $12,000 entry.
  • Embodied AI pilots are buying-ready — SELF Labs already posts Stripe checkout on humanoids and quadrupeds.
  • Edge inference and multi-model APIs enable new product ownership models (Resonatia mesh).
  • Buyers will pay for outcome-driven AI: conversion, demos, research platforms, custom builds from $3.5k–$12k+.

3. Proof before pitch

8 phones sold, 13 living sites deployed, Stripe on every major line, homepage = product demo.

4. Founder density × capital

Deep ownership of the stack; raise professionalizes GTM, ops, inventory, and scientific partnerships.

Next step

Let’s industrialize intelligent commerce.
