Skild AI hit $100M in run-rate revenue selling robots a brain that learns from one video - The Next Web

FeaturesIndustryPolicy

Skild AI says it has reached $100 million in recurring revenue run-rate, ten months after its first commercial deployment. The figure is reported by The Next Web, which credits Bloomberg. The article states that hundreds of robots running on the company's technology are in operation at more than 60 companies. The piece describes the company as selling 'robots a brain that learns from one video.'

The article identifies the company's S1 model as the basis of that description, stating that it learns tasks from a single video without prior training data. It says the revenue milestone arrived ten months after the first commercial deployment. It describes the robots as running at more than 60 companies, with the number of robots given as hundreds rather than a specific figure. The report does not name those companies, and it does not break down how revenue is distributed among them. Bloomberg is cited as the source of the revenue and deployment figures.

The article notes that Europe's Machinery Regulation newly regulates technology of this kind from January 2027. It presents that rule as the regulatory context for the company's approach, alongside the revenue and deployment figures. The report does not state whether any of the more than 60 companies operate in Europe, or how the January 2027 date affects robots already in deployment. The article places the single-video learning capability and the $100 million run-rate figure side by side as the two elements it treats as most significant.
