HABIT

HABIT is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA.

Conversational robots for physical businesses.

Businesses like restaurants and stores need to answer customer FAQs, highlight promotions, and support human staff at a scale staff alone can't cover.

HABIT builds conversational robots deployed in physical locations that greet and interact with customers, answering FAQs and highlighting promotions alongside human staff.

Describes itself as giving AI a 'physical presence' with a deployed fleet already reaching thousands of Americans daily in private beta, backed by ongoing research into real-time scene understanding, long-horizon self-improvement, and trust/safety engineering for commercial deployment.

Founded by UC Berkeley M.E.T. alumni Michael Trehan and Harish Palani, and backed by Y Combinator.
