Exploring Next — Ep 374 w/ Justy & Cody — The app store for robots has arrived: Hugging Face launches open-source Reachy Mini App Store with 200+ apps
Hugging Face launches an app store for Reachy Mini, a $299 open-source desktop robot, hosting 200+ community-built applications. The store removes the roboticist barrier by letting non-technical users build robot apps in minutes using plain English descriptions and an AI agent called ML Intern. Cody questions whether this solves a real problem or is mostly marketing hype around a niche hardware play, while Justy argues the accessibility angle and the removal of weeks-long integration work represents genuine market shift.
