Agility completed its $465 million public-listing deal. Digit’s status has not changed.

Agility began trading on Nasdaq as AGLT after completing its Churchill XI combination, confirming the financing milestone but not a new customer-delivery or home-robot milestone for Digit.

Agility Robotics has completed the business combination it said would bring it to the public markets. On November 5, the company said its common stock and warrants began trading on Nasdaq as AGLT and AGLTW, respectively, after the Churchill Capital Corp XI deal closed. The company says the transaction and related financing represent approximately $465 million in gross capital before expenses.

That settles the central uncertainty in our November 1 coverage: the corporate transaction closed. It does not, by itself, change the status of Agility’s Digit humanoid, establish a new delivery count, or put a humanoid robot into a consumer home.

What they said

In its November 5 announcement, Agility said the Churchill XI business combination had been completed and that AGLT and AGLTW would start trading that day. It described about $465 million in gross capital before transaction expenses.

That outcome follows the October 30 filing, which had framed the same capital total and November 4 close as expected, subject to shareholder approval and customary conditions. The earlier filing also said the capital consisted of a Churchill XI trust account, a PIPE commitment, and $100 million in previously received equity funding.

Agility says Digit is operating with enterprise customers, and it says Digit 5 has more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders. The company qualifies that order figure: it is subject to contractual milestones, product features, and specifications.

What is verified

The completed transaction and Nasdaq listing are now verified by Agility’s own announcement. The previous version of this article treated those events as a promise because the close remained contingent; that contingency is no longer the right description.

The approximately $465 million figure remains a gross figure before expenses. It is capital for the company, not a measure of Digit’s robot capability, production volume, or customer availability. The public listing does not demonstrate that a robot has become more autonomous or safer.

Agility also reports commercial Digit activity with GXO, Schaeffler, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. Those are industrial settings. Nothing in the November 5 announcement says Digit is available to consumers or deployed in homes.

What is missing

The announcement does not give an independently audited count of active Digits, a price for Digit, a general-availability date that has arrived, or a current production rate. It describes Digit 5 orders with conditions attached, rather than confirming all of those robots have been built or delivered.

The company says early-access Digit 5 deliveries are planned for the first half of 2027 and general availability is targeted for the end of 2027. Those are future company targets, not present-day shipping evidence.

It also does not establish how much of the gross capital will be available after transaction costs, or which technical and commercial milestones Digit 5 customers must see before orders become realized deployment.

What it means for a home robot

A completed listing can give Agility more resources for an industrial robotics program. It does not convert Digit into a household machine. Digit’s documented commercial setting remains structured workplace activity, and the company’s current announcement is about finance and future industrial scaling.

For a home robot, the useful evidence remains narrower: a verified consumer delivery, clear disclosure about supervision or remote operation, repeatable task performance in ordinary homes, and a safety record that extends beyond a controlled demo. This announcement supplies none of those.

We have updated this article because the promised transaction occurred. We have not changed Digit’s tracker status: a financing event is not a robot availability event.
