AdvancedA US embodied-data company that pays factory workers to wear head cameras and record first-person video.
Build AI is an embodied-data startup headquartered in San Francisco with an additional site in Shenzhen, founded by Eddy Xu, Patrick Rim, Jonathan Jia, and Zikang Jiang, and registered as a public-benefit corporation. It describes itself as a “hyperscale data supplier for physical AI,” handling everything in-house from capture hardware and production to logistics, data collection, and model training; its core product is first-person video of workers performing real jobs in actual factories, recorded with head-mounted cameras. In August 2025 it open-sourced Egocentric-10K (about 10,000 hours from 85 factories), followed by Egocentric-100K (December 2025) and Egocentric-1M (March 2026). Its website states it has raised more than $30 million and reached an annualized revenue run rate of $100 million in 2026.
ExampleEgocentric-10K is open-sourced on Hugging Face under Apache 2.0, and can be used for pretraining on human videos or for latent-action pretraining.
