Andy, by HeyAndy: a tabletop robot that finds what you've lost, points at it, and keeps your home's pictures in your home. Every model it runs is Meta's.

"Hey Andy, where are my glasses?" Andy turns to your voice and looks around, the TV showing each view with SAM 3.1's outlines. As it points and its own camera checks the point, it says "There they are! To my left, about 5 feet away." Ask for "the red cup" with only a blue one there: after a fix, no point, 4 of 4 on the robot.

Public demo, no robot needed (drawn sample scenes, two models live in your browser): https://huggingface.co/spaces/heyandy-ai/andy

FROM BEFORE THE EVENT: a Reachy Mini Lite with its maker's open-source software; our own earlier object-finding prototype; the HeyAndy name and logo; HeyAndy, Inc.'s separate product in development; an October 24 repository skeleton (only its licence text is here). No code from the prototype or the product is here. All else, apart from open-source pieces the README lists, was built during the event.

THE PROBLEM: Three in four adults 50 and older want to stay in their homes as they age (AARP, 2024), and a quarter of Americans 65 and older live alone (Pew Research, 2025): when the glasses go missing, there's no one to ask. A tracker finds only what you tagged.

WHAT ELSE IT DOES
- "I fell and I can't get up": "If you need help, please call 911 right away. I'll find your phone." It can't call anyone; it searches for the phone and points.
- 15 languages. Called in another, in Andy's synthetic voice, it switched 31 times in 42, never to a wrong one.
- A missed search becomes a promise: when it turns up, Andy points and says so, unprompted.
- Unplug the network and Andy carries on. Each turn, the TV shows a privacy receipt: which words went to which cloud model, or "Nothing left this house".

MEASURED
- On the robot, judged once by our founder, before the final fixes (three things, five places each, or hidden): 13 of 15 right, never a wrong point.
- On the robot, alone, nobody checking what it pointed at: 250 of 253 searches ended in a point. On the final code: a median 1.1 degrees off the middle of its camera's view, 2.2 at worst, 7.8 s for the search alone.
Results, failures included: evals/results and docs/research in the repo.

NO HEALTH ADVICE: Andy is built to give no medical, medication or mental-health advice. A health question the rule catches (25 of 34 held out) gets Andy's own fixed words, and no model answers it. The rest reach a model told never to advise: of 26 such answers, Muse Glimmer judged one advice, we read a few more as health information, and no clinician has read them. Limits: the repository's system card.

WHAT'S NEXT: Andy Finder offers the find to Reachy Mini owners with a Model API key and no GPU (recorded runs so far used our GPU): https://huggingface.co/spaces/andydm/andy-finder (its pictures go to the API: for rooms you're happy to share). Next: homes with the people it's for, then one box instead of two GPUs.
