A user who brings a generalist manipulation policy into their home or office wants it to pick up their objects from their shelves, counters, and tables. Yet even a strong generalist like $π_{0.5}$ achieves 0% pickup success in our captured deployment scenes without adaptation, and collecting real demonstrations in every user's environment is prohibitively expensive. We present Splat2Act, an automated real-to-sim-to-real pipeline that personalizes a pretrained vision-language-action (VLA) policy to a specific scene and object set using only a handheld phone scan and images of the user's objects. Unlike prior real-to-sim work that reconstructs individual tabletops, Splat2Act operates on building-scale indoor environments: it builds a photorealistic digital twin with 3D Gaussian Splatting and collision geometry, automatically discovers tabletop and non-tabletop receptacles, constructs feasible pickup tasks, and generates successful demonstrations with a privileged simulation oracle, with only scene and object capture required from a human. Applied to 101 scanned campus environments with a median navigable area of 104.87 m$^2$ and 7 receptacles, the pipeline yields 852 receptacles and over 68,000 pickup demonstrations. We fine-tune $π_{0.5}$ in two stages: Stage 1 adapts to hundreds of public object assets, drawn either from the deployment scene alone or from all 101 scenes; Stage 2 personalizes to the user's own objects on the deployment scene's receptacles. Our strongest personalized policy reaches 62.5% aggregate pickup success in the target scene. Deployed on a real Stretch 3, the same policy achieves 63.9% success on a 12-task subset, closely tracking its 66.7% simulated success on those tasks. These results suggest that automated real-to-sim-to-real training can personalize VLA manipulation policies using only simulation-oracle data.
