Waddle Labs · Launch Video Breakdown: Hook, Pacing & Motion Design
Claude Code for robots.
Scene-by-scene timeline & spoken transcript
The Hook
Micro-Proof Montage
“(No spoken dialogue — mechanical robotic whirring and ambient audio)”
- On screen
- in mo
- Camera
- Tight macro close-ups cutting to medium wide living-room setup
- Motion
- Fast kinetic cuts between delicate manipulations
Product Reveal
Founder Value Proposition
“We build AI agents that control robots.”
- On screen
- (No on-screen text)
- Camera
- Static eye-level two-shot
- Motion
- Direct-to-camera founder delivery
Feature Teaser
Prompt to Autonomous Execution
“Connect our API to your robot and enter a prompt. Then our agents write code and use skills to create a working policy. After 20 minutes, your robot learns the task.”

- Fold the t-shirt | shirt = get_coords("t-shirt") | Autonomous
- Camera
- Over-the-shoulder typing cut to front-facing benchtop rig
- Motion
- Floating prompt badge entry and translucent code inspection card
Feature Teaser
Benchmark Split Comparisons
“We aim to make robot intelligence that is accessible. Tasks that usually require specialized models costing billions of dollars to train can now be solved in 20 minutes by an agent thinking. Our agents are inherently generalist. They work with any robot in any environment.”

- Figure | Waddle Labs in 20 minutes | Physical Intelligence | Waddle Labs in 20 minutes
- Camera
- Split-screen side-by-side locked perspective
- Motion
- Synchronized dual-pane comparative evaluation
Feature Teaser
Multi-Agent Coordination & Long Horizon Planning
“They also excel at long-horizon planning and can break a complex physical goal into subtasks to work through. And what if we have agents that spawn sub-agents? Now, I mean, we can coordinate an entire fleet of robots that work together.”
- On screen
- Pick up all three cups | Give the bottle to the robot arm | Place the mints in the bottle | Continue cleaning up the room
- Camera
- Wide static apartment tracking humanoid and desktop arm
- Motion
- Cascading floating prompt capsules anchoring agent state
Feature Teaser
Everyday Prompting & Data Scaling
“For the first time, you can make robots do tasks simply by prompting. This unlocks many exciting capabilities. Internally, we've been using our agents to generate data, run auto-research to train models, and even go straight to deployment.”
- On screen
- Autonomous | Stack the legos | Unscrew the bottle cap | Generate data for picking legos at different poses | Sort the nuts and screws
- Camera
- Close-up manipulation cuts, 4x4 matrix grid, overhead sorting view
- Motion
- Multicam mosaic tile grid synchronized playback
Problem Agitation
Empirical Scaling Laws
“In all these cases, we're finding that larger models with higher budgets perform better. So, we're very excited to see where this goes as foundation models continue to scale.”
- On screen
- Success scales with model size and thinking budget | Average Success Rate Across Task Suite | Cost Per Task | Fable 5 | GPT 5.6 Sol | Opus 4.8
- Camera
- Static full-screen data graphic
- Motion
- Animated multi-line vector graph progression
Call to Action
Mission & Early Access
“We believe there will be billions of robots in the future, and our mission is to enable everyone to take part in building them.”
