Human Beats Figure AI Robot In Close Warehouse Challenge

Figure AI just ran a 10 hour Man vs Machine warehouse test, and the human barely won. Aime sorted 12,924 packages while Figure F.03 sorted 12,732, a gap of 192 after a full shift. The bigger story is the tiny speed gap.

Details:

  • The task was not flashy. Both had to spot the barcode, grab the package, and place it barcode down on a conveyor. Aime averaged 2.79 seconds per item. F.03 averaged 2.83 seconds in live view

  • This did not come from nowhere. Figure recently showed Helix 02 robots sorting packages in long shifts, claiming autonomy, no teleoperation, and near human pace around 3 seconds per package

  • The context is bigger than one contest. Figure 02 worked 10 hour weekday shifts at BMW, loaded 90,000+ parts, and helped build 30,000+ X3 vehicles before Figure 03 brought scaling

The headline is not human beats robot. It is that physical AI is close enough to make warehouse and factory work feel like the next big AI battleground.

When Did Your Business Start Running You?

What started as ownership turned into obligation.

Now you’re in every meeting, decision, and channel… not because you want to be, but because things stall without you.

It’s not a capacity issue. It’s a structure issue.

The Freedom Framework shows you how to rebuild work flows, so you can step back without things breaking down.

BELAY U.S.-based Assistants help make that real by bringing ownership to execution, so your business doesn’t rely on you to function.

Apple

Apple Plans A ChatGPT Style Siri With Privacy Controls

Apple’s Siri revamp may finally give Siri a real chatbot-style upgrade, but Apple is trying to make privacy the headline. Reports say the updated Siri app could arrive with iOS 27 and launch in beta.

Details:

  • It may work more like ChatGPT, with a standalone Siri app, chat history, voice conversations, file uploads, and a refreshed conversation view. Reports also say Google Gemini may help power parts of it

  • The biggest twist is auto deleting chats. Users may be able to remove Siri conversations after 30 days, after one year, or keep them forever, similar to Apple’s Messages settings

  • This fits Apple’s bigger privacy pitch. Apple says Private Cloud Compute is designed so user data is not stored or visible to Apple when Siri needs larger models

But the pressure is real. Apple delayed major Siri AI upgrades to 2026, while Google, Amazon, OpenAI, and others are racing ahead. Siri’s comeback needs to be private, useful, and reliable.

AI Tutorials & Agent Workflows

How to Create an AI Phone Agent for Automated Calls

Ever wanted an AI assistant you can actually call? In this tutorial, you’ll build one with its own phone number using ElevenLabs and Twilio, make a real test call, and have it answer using your website, calendar, and more.

  1. Create voice agent

    In ElevenLabs, go to Agents → New Agent → Personal Assistant. Choose a voice, set your time zone, and add your first greeting message.

    Example first message:

    “Hi, this is your assistant. Tell me what you need and I’ll help you.”

  2. Add knowledge sources

    Inside the agent settings, connect the information you want the assistant to use:

    • Your website

    • Your calendar

  3. Set assistant’s behavior

    Add a short instruction so it stays helpful and accurate.

    Example instruction:

    “Answer using my website and calendar. If you’re unsure, ask one question. Don’t guess.”

  4. Create Twilio account

    Go to Twilio and create an account. You should have complimentary credits to test.

  5. Buy Twilio phone number

    In Twilio, buy a phone number (typically around $1). From the dashboard, copy these:

    • Phone number

    • Account SID

    • Auth Token

  6. Import number into ElevenLabs

    In ElevenLabs, go to Phone Numbers → Import from Twilio. Paste your SID, auth token, and phone number, then assign the number to your agent.

  7. Call and test it

    Call the number and test a few real questions like “What’s on my calendar?” or “What do we offer?” based on what you added to the agent’s knowledge base.

Note: Add the most useful pages from your website, not everything. Too much info can make answers messy.
