Grippers, not dexterous hands

You still have to add

A box list: the maker publishes none, and no charging dock is mentioned (French press reports none in this first version) A warranty or returns: it is sold 'as is', and all sales are final after delivery Water work, dishes, stairs or anything breakable (the maker's own 'What it can't do' list) Cloud compute after six months: $50/month, or your own GPU

Day oneAfter delivery the owner teaches each chore in the app.

Reality check

You are buying one of 50 hand-built first units of an experimental robot with no warranty, no returns after delivery, unclear deposit terms and no FCC authorization on record for a US sale, whose own maker says a taught chore succeeds about four times in five.

Can you get one, and what will it cost?

A planning estimate with machine, freight, duty, and tax shown separately.

Yes, with work

Yes, with work: importable into United States.

US authorization: We found no public FCC ID for this model. Since 28 July 2026 a foreign-made robot can be sold into the US only under an FCC authorization from before that date, so ask the seller for its FCC ID, or its Supplier's Declaration of Conformity dated before 28 July 2026, before you pay.

Price notes: $3,555 for one of 50 numbered first-run units, prices in US dollars excluding taxes, duties and shipping (Terms of Sale). What you pay now is unclear on the maker's own pages: the pricing card says '$200 deposit today, fully refundable until shipping' (it said $1,555 until 13 Oct 2026), every order button still says 'Reserve for $1,555', and the Terms say 'Payment is taken in full at the time of order'. A cancellation before shipping is refunded in full. Six months of cloud compute are included, then $50/month (optional), or the owner's own GPU. No price is published for units after the first 50.

The maker's shares

All makers

Flourish Robots: Private: its shares do not trade on any exchange.

Flourish Robots (founder Antoine Marcel) is privately held; its 29 Sep 2026 press release is datelined San Francisco, not France, and discloses only a pre-seed round with no amount. A trade-site claim of a US$47 million Series B could not be corroborated and is not used.

Size to scale

Drawn next to a 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) person. Every robot on the site uses this same reference, so you can trust the comparison at a glance.

About the Flourish 1background, hardware and buying reality

Flourish 1 is the first product of Flourish Robots, founded by Antoine Marcel and backed by a pre-seed round led by Families Fund; it came out of stealth on 29 September 2026 with a San Francisco dateline, while the founder says each robot is designed and hand-assembled in Paris. It stands 3 ft 7 in (about 109 cm), weighs 44 lb (20 kg), reaches from the floor to about 35 in (89 cm) by raising its upper body on a column, and claims 12 hours of runtime. A Raspberry Pi runs it onboard, with cloud GPUs for training and higher-level decisions. The maker publishes its own reliability figure: a taught task worked 60% of the time a year ago and about 80% today. Its terms call it 'an experimental product sold in a limited run of 50 units to early adopters', not a finished appliance.

What it does on day onewith zero programming

After delivery the owner teaches each chore in the app: lay out the steps, then drive the robot from the phone for about 30 minutes from a few spots in the room, and about an hour later it can repeat the task alone. Tasks others have taught are meant to install in seconds from a store that is not open yet. It also answers voice requests and runs tasks on a schedule. The founder says no person at Flourish drives the robot remotely, but camera and sensor data stream to Flourish's servers while it works.

Best for: Early adopters who want an inexpensive home robot for light tidying and pet chores, accept teaching each task themselves, and can live with an as-is purchase from a new company.

Documented uses

Household help

Flourish sells Flourish 1 to households for light chores that the owner teaches it from a phone app in about 30 minutes per task: putting shoes away, tidying, dusting, watering plants, scooping a litter box, bringing small items.

Pre-order for December 2026, nothing delivered yet. Nothing over 1.5 kg, nothing breakable, no water and no stairs; the maker says a taught task works about 80% of the time. Sold as is, with no warranty.

Source reviewed 2026-10-22

Assessment from published documentation, not an independent performance test. Applies to the configuration described above.

What it takes to developskills, gear, and SDK access

None for household use: home Wi-Fi, a compatible smartphone and mains power. Developers can write their own nodes with the optional SDK. Teaching a task requires a recording session, which the owner approves and which is sent to Flourish to train the task.

SDK access: Ships with a developer SDK (sample code, own nodes and apps, publishing to a skill store), per the maker's page; no public documentation or repository was found. Advanced AI runs on Flourish's cloud or the owner's own GPU; onboard compute is a Raspberry Pi.
