Fixed an issue where a targeted clean (for example, just the toekicks in a room) could show misleadingly low coverage for that area. Coverage stats now reflect just what you asked Matic to clean.

Aug 12, 2026Stable 172

Introducing Matic Cues — Voice & Gesture Control

Talk to Matic like you'd talk to a helper. Matic understands natural language, so say it your way. Here's everything you can ask:

• Clean a room: "Hey, Matic — clean the kitchen." Works with mopping and vacuuming too: "mop the bedroom," "vacuum the hallway." You can chain multiple rooms in one command.
• Clean everywhere: "Clean the whole house," "clean all rooms."
• Clean by surface or detail: "Clean the carpets," "clean the hard floors," "clean the edges," "clean the toekicks" — target exactly the surfaces that need it, in one room or the whole home.
• Clean this: Point at a spot and say "clean this" — Matic sees where you're pointing and cleans that exact area.
• Clean it again: "Redo last clean" repeats your most recent cleaning session.
• Send it somewhere: "Go to the kitchen" sends Matic to any room you've named on your map.
• Follow me: "Follow me" — Matic follows you to wherever needs attention.
• Refill: "Go to the sink" — Matic comes to the sink for a water refill.
• Pause and resume: "Pause" holds position until you say "resume."
• Go home: "Dock" sends Matic back to its charger.
• Give me space: "Go away" — Matic skips the current room and moves on, or heads back to the dock.
