+# 1X NEO Early Adopter Project
+
+Michael pre-ordered the 1X NEO on the subscription plan in 2026. Goal: be ready as an early adopter while staying realistic about first-gen limitations, privacy, safety, and home integration.
+
+## Current expectation
+- Treat NEO as bleeding-edge / beta-like hardware, not a polished appliance.
+- Initial capability will likely be limited, with possible teleoperation or supervised autonomy.
+- Main win: early access, learning curve, helping shape the category, and getting real-world Narooma/home context into the loop.
+
+## Track
+- Delivery timeline / preorder updates
+- Subscription terms, cancellation, warranty, damage/liability
+- Data/privacy/teleoperation controls
+- Network/security requirements
+- Physical home readiness
+- First-week test plan
+- Useful tasks NEO might realistically perform
+
+## Monitoring
+- Official 1X Discover page is tracked in blogwatcher as `1X Discover`.
+- Local official-site monitor: `scripts/monitor_neo_1x.py`
+  - State: `knowledge/projects/neo-1x/monitor_state.json`
+  - Run manually: `python3 /home/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/monitor_neo_1x.py`
+  - It watches new/removed official Discover items plus material changes to `/neo`, `/order`, and `/discover/neo-home-robot`.
+- Existing broader feeds already useful: `The Robot Report`, `MIT Tech Review AI`, `TLDR AI`, `The Rundown AI`.
+
+## Latest known official signal
+- 2026-04-30: `NEO Factory | Building Your NEO` says Hayward factory is live, 200+ staff, current NEOs are being prioritised for internal home testing, and 1X still says first customer deliveries start in 2026.
+
+## Questions to resolve before arrival
+- What cameras/mics are always on, and what can be disabled?
+- Is teleoperation mandatory, optional, or only for fallback?
+- Can rooms/zones be excluded?
+- Local network requirements and whether it needs cloud always-on access
+- Guest/family consent and visibility indicators
+- Insurance/liability implications
+- Battery/charging dock placement and safe operating zones
+
+## First tests when it arrives
+1. Basic navigation and docking reliability.
+2. Stop/pause/emergency controls.
+3. Object pickup/put-down with low-value items.
+4. Kitchen/laundry safety boundaries.
+5. Privacy controls and logs.
+6. Routine household task trials with notes.
+
+## Tone
+Excited, but eyes-open. This is early adopter territory: measure, learn, don’t assume magic on day one.
