Staraid all in one guide solution, anyone using?

I ran across the Staraid autonomous guide solution. Located here:

https://staraid.ai/

And there are Utube video links of demos in that site link.

I have seen older auto guide platform solutions, but they all seem to require some degree of user participation. This one seems to do everything, from complete polar alignment from a blind startup, built in plate solving, does dithering, etc, including DSLR control. It will even pause and resume during cloud interruption. No laptop required. Uses a phone or tablet app via wirelessconnectivity. Seems like an ideal DSLR user solution.

Not cheap at 890 Euro, but for what It does maybe it is, especially if you want a stripped down field setup.
Anyone investigated?

Hi Glen,

It sounds and looks on the videos to be a well integrated product, but looking at its functionality, except for the cloud interruption imaging control, felt that it was not unlike a ZWO Air Pro/Plus. That may sway some one way or the other to try.

Best
JA
