By around 2026–2027, general‑purpose domestic help robots capable of performing multiple household tasks (such as washing dishes and doing laundry) will be available for home use at a cost on the order of $1,000 per month to consumers.
I think it'll be less than that. I think it's going to be in the next 2 or 3 years. You'll have a domestic help robot that you can probably pay 1000 bucks a month for.View on YouTube
Explanation

Chamath’s claim was that within about 2–3 years (from April 2024), people would “have a domestic help robot that you can probably pay 1000 bucks a month for”—i.e., a general‑purpose household robot, capable of multiple chores like dishes and laundry, available for home use at roughly that price point.

As of late 2025, there are early consumer humanoid home robots, but they are still in limited rollout and not yet clearly matching his vision at scale:

  • 1X Technologies’ NEO is a humanoid home robot designed to do chores like unloading the dishwasher, folding laundry, tidying, etc. It opened pre‑orders in October 2025 for home use, at about $20,000 outright or roughly $499/month on a subscription plan, with deliveries scheduled for 2026. However, reports note that many tasks are still tele‑operated by remote human operators rather than being fully autonomous. (en.wikipedia.org)
  • Weave’s Isaac is another “robot butler” aimed at household tasks such as folding laundry and organizing spaces, with first customer shipments planned for fall 2025. Its pricing is around $59,000 or about $1,385 per month for 48 months, which is the same order of magnitude as $1,000/month but at a very high total cost and for a very small number of early customers. (therundown.ai)

These products show that multi‑task domestic robots for home use are just beginning to appear, some with subscription models in the same ballpark as $1,000/month. But:

  1. The prediction’s time window (2026–2027) has not finished yet. We are only ~1.5 years after the April 2024 statement, and his explicit horizon was “the next 2 or 3 years.”
  2. Current offerings are early, expensive, and/or heavily teleoperated, rather than robust general‑purpose household help at a clearly established ~$1,000/month price point for typical consumers.

Because the deadline has not yet passed and the market is still emerging, it is too early to say definitively whether his prediction will prove right or wrong.

So the appropriate status as of November 30, 2025 is: inconclusive (too early to judge).
