Meet the Excessive-Tech Reply to a Fingers-Free Picnic

In partnership with our friends at gita

While researching Goop Gift Guide, our Vice President of Content, Kate Wolfson, never really knows what a test drive will turn up on her door. This year, one of the most intriguing competitors was a successor robot with a name (Gita), a formidable resume (takes the direction, can carry up to forty pounds, dress professionally), and some serious successor skills.

Wolfson was always the fact-checker and put it to the test at a family picnic. While the Gita was hauling the toys, hand sanitizer, blanket, and even one of Food Director Caitlin O’Malley’s famous mezze spreads, the family of four went to the park and took photos and held hands – instead of throwing phones and bags. To understand Gita’s signature tilt-and-glide boast, you have to see her in action.
