Building a robot today means juggling CAD files in one tool, code in another, wiring docs in a Google Drive folder you forgot the name of, and assembly notes that live exclusively in someone's head. Tnkr AI just went live, and it's built to fix that.

Tnkr is the IDE for physical agents: robots that do real work, in any form, run by any physical AI model. Every robot on Tnkr lives in a repository with its CAD, electronics, code, and docs.
