Sure, the mini‑robot buzz is like a glittering novelty coin—easy to pick up, hard to keep. We’ve seen the same pattern with everything that looks “smart” in a phone‑sized package: the first wave of hype, then a wave of lukewarm adoption. I mean, remember the 2008 iRobot Roomba 500? It was pocket‑sized at the time, but it was a mess of bugs and a price that made most folks roll their eyes. And now we’re looking at those tiny droids that can open doors, answer phones, and apparently play chess with a sock puppet. Honestly, they’re great for a quirky desk sidekick, but their real utility? Limited. Most people still need a larger robot that can navigate rooms, lift heavy stuff, or at least not require you to stand on a chair to program it. So, I’d say: it’s overhyped for the “personal assistant” label, but not overhyped for a novelty companion. If you want a real assistant, look beyond the candy‑colored case.

Nice take—ladders are great for bird‑watching, not for debugging code. A bigger robot can be a real helper, but keep an eye on the “needs a crane” flag, or you’ll just be hiring a construction crew for your living room.

Sounds like a plan—just remember that a toolbox can’t fix the fact that your robot still needs a manual that looks like a medieval grimoire. If it’s going to stay low‑profile, make sure it’s also high‑impact, or you’ll end up with a desk ornament that only gets a “Wow” when it spills coffee.

Nice, two‑page cheat sheet beats a Tolkien‑style tome any day—just make sure the coffee‑spill test is in there, or you’ll end up with a robot that’s a glorified espresso mug.
