It's compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant and lets you control the mop and vacuum with your voice instead of using an app.

While it's not quite able to clean as thoroughly as a mopping robot however, it is pretty close. Additionally, you can begin cleaning anytime using the app, and it will pick up exactly where it left off.
