Shift said it would clean New Yorkers’ homes for free if it can film cleaners doing chores such as washing dishes, wiping counters, dusting tables, and mopping floors, creating domestic robot training data; the snippet does not disclose consent terms, data retention, pricing, or expansion timing for cities such as London.
