History
At some point, Dr. Julien created the robot for serving tea and cleaning.
The Last Voyage
After Wu, Misako and the ninja arrived at the lighthouse, Julien had Gizmo serve them tea. As Tai-D rolled around, the ninja were amazed by his abilities, with Jay trying to mess with Tai-D. The robot didn't take kindly to this and burnt Jay, warding him off.
The Last Resort
During Jay and Nya's visit, Tai-D was helping to clean up, even putting items back into Jay's bag when they were trying to unpack. Tai-D was the one who leads Nya and Jay to Echo Zane and played chess with him afterward, in which he sneaked pieces under the table, much to Echo Zane's confusion.
Later, upon Nadakhan's arrival, he tried to fight back the Sky Pirates alongside Echo Zane, but to no avail. He was eventually shut down by the Djinn when he struck the robot with the Djinn Blade.
Operation Land Ho!
Echo Zane was in the process of repairing Tai-D when Jay arrived to recruit him.
