Auki signed an LOI with one of Europe's largest retailers this week. The retailer will pay $500 per store per month for Cactus, the software alone - no robot required. This proves perception software has standalone value: spatial understanding, navigation, and stock awareness generate immediate ROI.

Cactus runs on phones, cameras, and robots, helping staff move faster and detect issues. Auki's software-first, deployable, hardware-agnostic approach is validated.
