Flourish 1 is a household humanoid at USD 3,555, announced with the promise that housework is over, and it reaches that price by refusing to build a balancing biped: a six-wheel base carries a telescoping torso and two articulated arms. Its published dimensions are 3 ft 7 in tall, 44 lb, a 3.3 lb payload, a 12-hour runtime and a reach from the floor to 35 in. What sets it apart is how it learns. Rather than shipping with a fixed skill set, the owner builds a task in the app by dragging and dropping steps in about five minutes, then drives the robot from a phone for about thirty minutes from several positions in the room, and about an hour later gets a notification that the task is ready. From then on it can be called out loud, so asking it to bring a beer, what to wear or to remind you on Thursday is a request rather than a command, or it can be scheduled, so counters are cleared after dinner and a litter box is scooped every day at 11am. The published capabilities include putting shoes away, refilling the water bowl and waking you up. The robot runs on-device, with heavier AI tasks needing extra compute from an owner's GPU or a subscription plan. A developer SDK lets owners write their own nodes and apps, and a store lets a published app be installed by every other owner in about five seconds. Flourish is unusually candid about the trade-offs: the Terms of Sale call Flourish 1 an experimental product, not a finished appliance, warn that it will sometimes fail at a task it did the day before, and state that it is sold with no warranty and no returns once delivered. Reliability is published as improving from 60 per cent a year ago to 80 per cent now, with 99 per cent as the goal.
