    Chef Robotics· San Francisco, California, United States

    Chef’s mission is to empower humans by accelerating the advent of intelligent machines in the world.We believe physical AI (robots that can perceive, reason, and act in the real world) represents the next frontier of AI. While software AI has transformed how we work and communicate, the physical world still runs largely on human labor. That world represents 90% of global GDP, and it’s where AI’s impact will be most profound.Nowhere is this more evident than in food. In 2023, there were over 1.1 million unfilled jobs in food preparation and service. These labor shortages are forcing food companies to leave millions of dollars in unmet demand on the table each year and driving more of the food supply chain offshore, creating significant risks for US food security.Chef Robotics is building physical AI for food. Our AI-enabled robots handle the flexible, variable work of food assembly and preparation (work that has historically required human intervention). By deploying robots that learn from real production data across hundreds of ingredients and customers, we’ve built the world’s largest real-world food manipulation dataset and become the market leader in food robotics.The result: food companies can meet demand, grow production, and keep their supply chains onshore, while their teams focus on the work that humans do best.
