    We Are The Solution To The Asynchronous Problem

    Send us Fan Mail A drone delivered food in under 3 minutes. The order took 30 minutes to get inside the drone.   Evan Furnish, Product Manager of Integrations at Arrive AI, went to Dallas to observe autonomous delivery in the field and came back with a very clear picture of where the whole industry is breaking, and exactly where Arrive AI fits.   He also visited Purdue University to observe Starship robots in action. Average order time: 45 minutes. The first 30 minutes were before the food ever got inside the robot.   The delivery is fast. The handoff is the problem. That is what Arrive AI is built to solve.   In this episode Dan and Evan cover: What Evan observed in Dallas and at Purdue Why drone and robot delivery is slower than it looks from the outside What Starship's exit from 60 US campuses means for the industry How the Arrive Point solves the synchronization problem Why 100% interoperability is the only way autonomous delivery scales What it is like to live near a live Arrive Point deployment at Hancock Regional Hospital Arrive AI (NASDAQ: ARAI) is building the infrastructure for autonomous delivery.

    One Year on NASDAQ: Engineering, Strategy & What's Next

    Send us Fan Mail We've always said the most important work at Arrive AI happens at the seams — where hardware meets software, where machines meet people, and where today's deployments become tomorrow's network. This episode lives at every one of those seams. First, Attila Nagy walks us through what it actually takes to engineer a delivery endpoint that has to work outdoors, across climates, alongside autonomous robots and traditional couriers — every time. His perspective makes clear why human-machine collaboration isn't a slogan at Arrive AI; it's a design principle baked into how the Arrive Point™ is built. Second, the team reflects on a milestone that doesn't come around often: one year since Arrive AI began trading on the NASDAQ under the ticker ARAI. Dan and Kylie share what that first year has looked like from the inside — the lessons, the discipline, and the long-term conviction guiding what comes next. Third, the conversation turns to the recently announced standstill agreement with Streeterville Capital, which Arrive AI initiated to simplify its capital structure. The company has framed it as a shareholder-friendly step taken following continued operational progress — and the episode covers what that means for the path forward. And finally, Dan invites shareholders, partners, and the broader Arrive AI community to join us for our upcoming NASDAQ bell-ringing ceremony — a moment to mark the anniversary together. Arrive AI is building the delivery infrastructure layer for autonomous logistics. Our flagship Arrive Point™ Network deployment is live at Hancock Health in Greenfield, Indiana, where Ottonomy's autonomous Ottobots transport biospecimens between the Cancer Center and the Laboratory — every handoff digitally logged with full chain-of-custody traceability. What we cover in this episode: ✅ Inside Arrive AI's engineering approach with mechanical engineer Attila Nagy ✅ How the Arrive Point™ is designed for human-machine collaboration ✅ Reflections on one full year trading on the NASDAQ under ARAI ✅ Context on the Streeterville Capital standstill agreement ✅ An invitation to our upcoming NASDAQ bell-ringing ceremony 👍 Like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don't miss future episodes of The Dan Show.

    Training Autonomous Delivery in Simulation

    Send us Fan Mail Before an Arrive Point™ is deployed in the real world, it's tested and refined in simulations. In this episode of The Dan Show, Dan and Kylie sit down with Tanmay Haldankar, one of the robotics engineers powering Arrive AI's (NASDAQ: ARAI) technical operations.  Tanmay walks through how the team uses NVIDIA Isaac Sim and NVIDIA Blackwell GPU workstations to train, test, and refine the next-generation Arrive Point™ in photorealistic, physics-based environments — accelerating development and improving reliability long before our systems touch the real world. 👉 Visit our site: https://www.arriveai.com/ 👉 Investor relations: https://investors.arriveai.com/ 👉 Request a consultation or demo: https://www.arriveai.com/contact
